Everyone’s view on taxation is different. Whether you believe that taxing income is wrong or that it is a citizen’s duty to pay their fair share, the fact remains that almost no one can agree on where those tax dollars should be spent.
When a Party stands for election, they give broad statements of intention and a wish list of policies that will need to be negotiated through the branches of government…but this is the wrong way to elect. In the UK in the 70s, a constituency MP was sued by a voter for not following through with his election promises. The judge ruled that a government can’t be held accountable for election promises as situations may arise and circumstance may change. Since then, no one has really tried to hold the UK government to account.
In 2015, the United Kingdom Independence Party (or UKIP) under then leader Nigel Farage, did the unthinkable…They put out a fully-costed, independently measured party Manifesto. They had worked out exactly what spending would be needed, where the money would come from, and what savings the government would make. Naturally, as they are not one of the mainstream outfits, they were ridiculed by other parties and the MSM. IN the 2017 General Election, the parties that mocked UKIP went and did the same thing (although they did not use independent fiscal bodies to evaluate).

Ask Obama. He’s the author of the policy. Just thank God Trump won because Hillary would be writing the sequel....
Silly question.
Everything is ideological.
Even fixing the roads might be viewed as ideological by some environazis. Even merely surviving is considered ideological by radical environazis that believe that the best thing for our planet would be the destruction of humans.
The key to protecting your self interests in the public arena is to form or join an interest group that reflects your values and interests and fight like hell with them - constantly and ferociously, using whatever effective means at your disposal.
Politics fights are never permanently settled because there will always be people with clashing interests. The left understands this very well. They never ever give up. We on the other hand win an election and go back to sleep.
Except of course for themselves, their buds and enough serfs to feed, clothe, house and serve them.
“Whether you believe that taxing income is wrong or that it is a citizen’s duty to pay THEIR fair share...”
HIS
On the other hand, mostly as a consequence of the ill-conceived 17th Amendment imo, the corrupt feds are unconstitutionally taxing and spending for a bunch of things that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to tax and spend for as evidenced by the following excerpts.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Drain the swamp sewer! Drain the sewer!
Since corrupt Congress is the biggest part of the sewer (imo) that Trump wants to drain, it is actually up to patriots to drain the sewer in the 2018 elections, patriots supporting Trump by electing as many new members of Congress as they can who will support Trump.
In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed above.
Also, unlike incumbent members of Congress who wrongly remained silent while misguided state officials abridged the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens during the lawless Obama Administration, patriots need to make sure that candidates on the 2018 primary ballots commit to the following.
Candidates need to commit to making and enforcing 14th Amendment-related laws to prosecute misguided state officials who use state powers to abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech for example, such actions prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
Again, drain the sewer! Drain the sewer!
