If you think 40k a year provides a comfortable life, you're totally out of whack with reality. I make more than that and am living paycheck to paycheck.
The platforms I'm interested in are
1) A government that works within the framework of the constitutional powers they've been assigned....and no more than that.
2) Supreme court justices who will actually rule according to the constitutional text instead of stretching interpretations to suit political needs or emotional feely wants.
3) reducing the size of the government beauracracy, i.e. removing or limiting powers of the ATF, IRS, DEA, DOJ, HUD, DOE, and every other alphabet agency that doesn't have a constitutional exercise to exist.
4) actually using the veto powers assigned to a president to invalidate crap amendments like 'bridge to nowhere', etc.
5) invalidating unconstitutional gun laws currently on the books and not allowing any more of them to exist.
6) cut the spending budget by half, remove the federal deficit, cut taxes by the %age equal to all cuts, allowing people to keep their money, and enforce equal protection of the laws for corporation and citizen alike.
