The Manifesto of a Young Black Conservative

This is my manifesto and I believe that the United States is in danger of collapse because of this behemoth of a government. There was a study recently released that said by 2030 75% of the federal budget will be entitlement programs. This is affecting the people who work a job because they will be the ones paying for this behemoth not business in a capitalist structure. The democrats offer you a free lunch but they don't tell you that you will be paying for that free lunch and the interest on the money they borrow to pay for that free lunch. I also think Bush did great with tax cuts but he didn't control spending. This has alot to do with the housing bust. People kept borrowing on their homes in order to pay off things they owe. This is because they keep less and less of their money in order to support the behemoth in Washington.

See in a capitalist structure business will get alot of breaks because they are the engines of the economy. They bring you things like i-phones, i-pods and the Fox News Channel. This is why we have a 12 trillion dollar plus economy. On the flip side of this you need a small limited government. With a 12 trillion dollar plus economy everyone should be living high off the hog. It's the government that's standing in the way. A business will make 1 million dollars and he or she will pay themselves 100,000 dollars. They will pay income taxes on the 100,000 dollars then invest the rest in their company or new ventures. This is how capitalism works. Say this business owner meets 2 guys with a business called You Tube and the business owner invest 500,000 dollars into the company and it makes him millions of dollars when it explodes. This is a hypothetical but I'm sure you get the picture.

The government then goes out and borrows money against future taxes collected from that million dollars to pay for the behemoth(big government). Who do you think makes up the difference? It's the worker and he or she is always complaining that they can't get ahead but it's because of big government. If you had a small limited government then you would be keeping more of your money and borrowing less. This behemoth has to be stopped. You now have democrats promising everything from universal health care to paying for everyones college. This is madness!!!

Here are some of my plans:

1. Healthcare - Mitt Romney has a healthcare plan that will work.

2. Immigration - We have to face reality. America has drastically changed since NAFTA. Labor is cheap and we are borrowing like crazy in order to stay afloat. That's because we import so much vs what we export but that allows us to have places like Walmart and Family Dollar. The way we fix this is securing the border first and then we start a guest worker program. We will give out a limited number of guest worker visas and companies who hire workers without a guest worker visa will be heavily fined and then prosecuted if they repeat the offense. I think we could have the workers who come here get paid an amount in dollars that's equivelent to their country of origin. So if 10 dollars an hour = 5 dollars in the country of origin then they will make 5.00 an hour. Say an immigrant makes 2 dollars an hour but he only pays 60 dollars a month for rent. That's 320 dollars a month - 60 = 260 dollars. He will have money to buy food and clothes from places like walmart and family dollar and he will have access to start a business or he can enter a program and become a real estate agent. If he starts a business then he's no lon ger subject to the guest worker limits. This will keep labor cost down and then we will be in a better position to compete in the global economy when it comes to exports. This will not infringe on American workers because there will be a limit to the amount of guest visas we will give out. Since the immigrants will be making somewhat less we need to build or convert new housing. These apartments will be nice and they will not be segregated. The builders will get some nice tax incentives plus they will collect the rent from each month for these apartments. The federal government also needs to fine sanctuary cities. These cities are a magnate for illegal immigration. The main problem with this is the big government. If the government wasn't so greedy the guest worker would not have to pay income tax just the 1 dollar into something like Health Care Basics. In 5 to 7 years they can come out of the guest worker program and begin paying into the system and hopefully social security would be privatized by then.

3. Privatization of Social Security - We need this desperately. If we could privatize our social security system then most americans will have an ownership stake in this global economy and more importantly government couldn't spend the money. This money will also be insurance against 401k plans that may get tied up because of acquisitions. This money can also be passed down to future genrations and that could help them pay for schooling or start a new business. We need this bad because Washington is out of control. Social security is a pyramid scheme. It needs workers at the bottom of the pyramid to support the benefits they have to pay out at the top of the pyramid. When the top of the pyramid widens like with the baby boomers then there is trouble. There's not enough workers to pay out benefits so they have to do one of three things. Raise your taxes, borrow you into oblivion or add new workers to the system and this is why people like Kennedy want amnesty. The social security fund is full of I.O.U.'s. These politicians spend your money and then borrow it or raise taxes to pay back the money that they spend. You then have to pay the interest on the money that they borrow and this is shameful. Privitization will mean Washington can't spend your money so they will be forced to cut back spending. This will attack the jugular of the behemoth (big government). I don't understand why some people don't get this. The system is about to crash and it has to change because it's a pyramid scheme.

4. Demolish the Department of Education - This is truly a waist. We need to allow the private sector to run our schools. This way you take politics out of the school system. Kids today go to school to get indoctrinated with all these social programs instead of going to school to be a kid and learn. We need vouchers and we also need to continue to make an investment in our kids but we don't need federal government involvement. They can do very limited oversight and that's it. Let the parents, states and private sector run our schools not the folks in Washington. They are more worried about injecting politics into our schools instead of allowing our childrn to learn and be individuals. This is the it takes a village mentality. Socialism is fine if parents want to get together in a community and put their resources together to help kids in the neighborhod go to college. That's fine but when the federal government tries socialism it's a disaster in a capitalistic structue.
