In this post I will outline the political platform upon which I will stand when I run for president of the United States.

Political philosophy: There are a few mission critical services that government provides - the military and police forces, infrastructure maintainence, property rights, rule of law, environmental protection (others??…). In general, government intervention should be minimized. Unnecessary rules and regulations provide bullshit jobs for lawyers and regulators, and provide the wealthy with opportunities to game the system. Consider the areas where government regulation is overbearing- housing, healthcare, and education - all a mess with runaway costs and regulations. A promise to eliminate programs that transfer wealth from the working class to the rich and poor propelled Donald Trump into the White House. I would support the elimination of these wealth transfer programs.

Why the Trump dynasty will last sixteen years Trump already grooming Ivanka. Car affordability as a predictor of economic security. Income redistribution. “empty quasi-ministerial offices all over Washington” Impact of super-delegates, incompetence of wasserman schultz and brazile etc. etc. very interesting.

Nice graphic showing that Clinton won liberal big cities by a landslide, Trump won the rest of the country.
