America’s ONLY problem is that Congress is incapable by design.
Before the 2022 midterm elections all Americans should know that the only goal of the political party corporations (literally private businesses) is to limit competition by saying they stand for either big or smaller government.
Red, Blue or other, come as you are!
At the ballot box we select Congress people by a red or blue label based on an ambiguous standard from each party claiming to stand for either more or less government & taxes and to be “for families”, in contrast to “fiscally responsible” pro individual freedoms.
Does that sum it up?
The reality of those messages doesn’t equal success.
43+ Million Americans impoverished.
Millions of kids every night go to bed hungry.
Largest government in human history.
Largest tax revenue & budget in human history.
$28 Trillion borrowed from our future families.
These are the exact problems that each party claims are their top priorities. The only result that aligns with a party standard is bigger government, yet with poverty never dropping below 11% in most of our lifetimes, more doesn’t equal better.
Congress is working just the way the party corporations have designed it, hoping that the system they’ve created will keep out competition and that most of Americans will continue to pretend that the party label they choose makes a difference. “If only my party can get a larger majority. Then everything will get better.”
Congress will ONLY become responsive and capable of considering basic ideas once we establish a nonpartisan platform outlining the “Affordable Priorities” of most Americans. Congressional candidates from any party can pledge to commit to the platform.
American values transcend party labels. By starting with a couple of foundational priorities like rebuilding the federal budget to be more efficient and geared toward curing generational problems like poverty, opportunities through transitional training and an investment in our children.
Rampart Caucus will publish ideas to consider other popular policy issues and ideas. We’ll socialize them as a Vision of the way things could be.
There is already a long list of root problems Congress has been incapable of addressing, and problems that Congress has caused from irresponsibility and political actions.
When Americans go to the polls to select our Congress people, we’ll each know which candidates support a platform that represents the will of the American people, and improved equality for all.
Once we’ve agreed on a path forward based on the platform, then Congress can coalesce to the center and hash out how to move forward.
Do we really have a choice?
We All Pretend Parties Stand For Something, When Reality Proves Otherwise...
