Uh oh! Manifesto!

John Schneider is asking if I could pick anyone I want for gov who would it be?  Well, Id pick me! How else can I get my agenda through.  My platform consists of continuing and expanding the film credits to anything that involves a camera including porn.  Double the gas, cigarette, and alcohol taxes and add a new tax on soda pop and other junk food.  The revenue from that will go to better roads, mass transit, and universal health care for all MI citizens.  Free birth control to anyone that wants it including abortions without any parental consent if a minor.  More electric mass transit and we build the buses and trains HERE or it doesn't happen.  Wind mills up and down the entire coast of Lake Michigan and we build them HERE or it doesn't happen.  Doubling the minimum wage and an income CAP for anyone making over $500,000 a year.  The rest goes to the state.  NO ONE needs more money than that and don't give me the argument of "what's going to motivate entrepreneurs?"  I'd be HELLA motivated if I was making 500K so shut the hell up!  A 90% estate tax.  Removal of ANY tax break for having even one kid.  You had it, it was your choice, you had options, you deal with paying for it.  Anyone on unemployment more than 3 months has to start taking full time classes at a community college or, if eligible, a university or other school.  An audit of ALL our state funded higher education will be done first.  Any waste or duplication will be removed and that state money will now pay for the education of those unemployed that are taking classes.  Also anyone graduating from a program paid for by this unemployment benefit has to agree to stay in Michigan for at least two full years after graduation and eventually pay back the state for their education or loose their tax refunds.  Bring back the promise scholarship and a requirement to stay in Michigan for five years or be forced to pay it all back.  A part time legislature and an immediate halving of all legislative salaries.  Legalization and high taxes imposed on all "illegal" drugs and use the tax revenue for more social services and education.  New open carry pistol law.  Any where at any time for all that can prove safe use and proficiency. A fee of $100 per year will be imposed and that revenue will go toward more PUBLICLY VIEWABLE cop cams in neighborhoods with a history of gun violence.  Remove any and all laws that make companies immune from legal action.  Higher education standards and teachers that get PAID FOR PERFORMANCE.  Dismantle the MEA and replace it with a strong department of education that can fire teachers and take control of boards that are ineffective.  Start demolishing ANY house that has been standing unoccupied for over a year and begin the shrinking of our sprawling unmanageable cities.  NO NEW HOUSING of any kind until values get BACK to before the whole financial meltdown occurred. Supply and demand people, its not rocket science.  Anyone that owns a house can rent that house if they live in the same city for at least 9 months of the year.  NO CITY or BS "Neighborhood Association"  will be able to dictate otherwise what a person can do with HIS property as far as rentals go.  Listening East Lansing!!?  More tax breaks and a streamlined regulation process for anyone that wants to get their house off the grid or more energy efficient.  I want a windmill in my back yard and I don't want my neighbors to be able to complain about the "noise" or it killed a damn chickadee.  You live in a CITY, there's going to be noise and I like chickadees but .  . . well  . . . there's plenty of em'.  I wonder how many die flying through coal smoke stack plumes?  ONLY give tax breaks for business that remodel or add on to existing structures instead of building new ones.  Any religious organization or head of a church found promoting any political stance will be TAXED like any other business or person. Weekend voting from Friday to Saturday night.  People have to work you know!!?  Net neutrality for all data transmissions.  Part of PEG fees go toward broadcasts on the strongest local TV stations on their secondary digital channels.  Tax the hell out of out of state garbage being imported here and anyone that wants to mine anything or take any natural resource out of state.  Oppose any new rights of way for any thing toxic i.e. pipelines containing stuff that will kill us or used nukes on our roads.  A law making INSURANCE companies having to prove you don't deserve health benefits NOT the other way around.  You make a claim, you get paid, its their problem to try and get it back from you later.  Make animal cruelty a felony and subject to 5 years with no parole.  End dog and cat breeding of any kind.  Go to a shelter and get one!  And last but not least we start building HUGE water reservoirs so that NO ONE out side Michigan can get to OUR water!  Its our state's most precious resource.  Its the stuff of LIFE and we are squandering it.  Ok, did I miss anything?  Probably.  But I'll get to it . . .

  1. Nice choice of picture. It really feels as though you're up on a soap box explaining your agenda in a "passionate" manner. I'd vote for you if I wasn't so afraid that I might stray from your agenda at some point.
