| Message | Enough of unnecessarily large government departments that add nothing of substance to our citizens' lives but still take tremendous amounts to fund. The FMP believes that it is time to quit giving funds away to foreign governments and to supporting those who refuse to support themselves (especially government workers whose sole purpose is to create new rules to make life difficult for our citizens). Defense for our borders and justice for criminals are necessary as are roads, electricity and research. Education is also needed but what are we spending 15B JAK on for "culture"? (Yes I know, may not be half--but I'll bet that's what gets cut.) The rest we propose to reduce to a more rational level. We believe even this is too high a level for some departments--but this is a good start. The tax bill we are proposing reflects the new budget (and greatly reduces taxes). |
