I was thinking of starting my own political party just for fun and I can't seem to come up with a name. Thinking about it, I'm not sure what sort of label properly even captures my political beliefs. I'm open to suggestions:
- Dictatorship/Absolute Monarch > Democracy/Republic
- Market Economy > Planned Economy
- Private Property Ownership > Public Property Ownership
- Strict Objective Moral Values Enforced by Government > No Moral Values Enforced by Government
- Racial homogeny > diversity.
- Elitist > Egalitarian
- Patriarchy > Equality
- Military Class Rule > Merchant Class Rule
- Taxes as close to 0% to still maintain society > high taxes
- No welfare state whatsoever > any welfare state
What would you call such politics if you wanted to give it a catchy label?
I did not say NO taxes, I said as close to 0 as possible to still maintain things. I've worked out the numbers before and I think I could easily maintain a very effective government with a 5% Consumption tax and tariffs on imports/exports set to maximize international competition while maintaining a healthy domestic production industry.
Ok but what if you want to buy a new yacht every year? Might as well raise it to 8%.
I don't want to buy a new yacht every year though.
You don't NOW but if there's something you want in the future there's nothing stopping you from raising taxes.
I disagree. The idea that power corrupts absolutely is just something corrupt people say as an excuse to the masses so the masses don't think to change corrupt leaders. I would lead benevolently.
