The Tea Party Platform

Every movement needs a simple, populist message. This movement is and ought to be revolutionary. We are upon a new age. A truly global economy is emerging. Current methods of resource production are reaching limits that demand an adaptive, innovative capitalism more than ever. The post-WWII financial order has reached it's limit. Concurrently, unresolved questions concerning liberty and the role of government from the beginnings of the industrial revolution raise the spectre of future tyranny.
It is truly time for a revolution, one in the virtuous and tempered style of our American forefathers!

This should be the message repeated over and over, revolutionary, pragmatic, achievable:

Taxes:
-Each year's budget is formulated the year before. Taxes are levied only sufficient to cover what expenditures have already been planned.
-Emergency funds are raised by special issue bonds only, and this seperate from the monetary authority.
-The taxes you pay are a portion of the allocated budget in proportion to the portion of national wealth you control.

Money:
The sole single solitary responsibility of the Fed is monetary policy. This means keeping up with growth and not outpacing it. Congress will have no access whatsoever to 'fiscal policy' control of the money supply.

Labor Rights/Regulations
-All forms of relief for the impoverished shall be administered year by year according to the allocated budget. Let relief replace entitlement in our language.
-Financial regulations shall occur as a legal matter of rights as opposed to strict government oversight. Fraud, breach of contract, etc. shall be punishable by law.
-Let the government buy up the toxic assests that can be reasonably linked to government sponsored programs and policies, and do no more.

And we, the people - the ignorant masses - shall develop the culture, institutions, and solutions on our own!

Please review, copy, spread, discuss. We can implement these simple policies, we can do it through the Republican party (and Democratic, for those politicians whose constituencies so demand). This revolution can be accomplished!

Let this be our common banner, simple, clear, populist, full of liberty, and desperately needed.
