-Fair taxes on the rich that reflect their vastly disproportionate income. (really? if you make 10 billion dollars you can still live on 5.)
-Accountability for crimes on wall street
-An end to wars abroad
-separation of church and state
-the right to organize in unions and protect wages, jobs, and work conditions
-Accessibility to Birth control
-the right to your own womb
-The old concept of having your own business in the bed and sexuality be, your own business...
-less money pits like the F-35
-Sensible gun laws ( ie. pistols in bars...really?) (Ps i own 4 guns so shhh...)
-Weed...yeah really you know you all did it in the 70's and are fine
-and anything i missed....

As a Libertarian, albeit registered [shamefully] Republican, I would like:

Fair healthcare: Cool. I just don't want to pay for someone else's health care. I just don't think that this is fair to me.

Safety nets: Also cool. I just don't see someone else's problem as my responsibility. I know that this seems cold, and I have no answer for that.

Funded public schools: Awesome. Not as opposed to private schools, but in compliment to. Every child deserves a first-rate education. This helps all of us in the long run. That is choice. Taking funding away from public schools is, however, foolish and shortsighted with usually a political point in tow.

Fair taxes on the rich: Fair is fair. A flat tax is fair to all. If we are all at 10%, then we we are all 10%. If we are all at 30%, then we are all at 30%. Let us not penalize success.

Accountability for crimes on wall street: You betcha. Sell out America and you get what you deserve.

An end to wars abroad: Also you betcha. Our foreign policy has been a disaster for the better part of 40 years. Close the bases; bring the troops home.

Seperation of church and state: A theologically-driven government is not a government of the people.

Right to organize: Unions are part of the economic and political landscape. Let them strike.

Accessibility to birth control: Birth control is a civil liberty. Civil liberty is supposed to be sacrocanct in the US of A.

Right to your own womb: See above.

Government in your bedroom: See two above.

Money pits like F-35: The military-industrial complex has driven this country to ruin in the persuit of self employment. If we tended to our own business instead of everyone else's, we would not need wasteful projects like the F-35.

Sensible gun laws: Bringing a weapon into a school is not a good idea.

Drugs: Legalize them. The cartels are growing rich off of our efforts. Let us make them ourselves and tax the hell out of them.
