Some of you may remember I am also running for
president. I was unanimously nominated
by all six delegates to my convention at the Palace Saloon. We have all heard
Romney declare that he knows how to create jobs, get Republicans and Democrats
to work together (fat chance), and do anything to get us on the right track. And Obama claims he will be the hero of the
middle class and just needs more time to fix the economy and keep the
Republicans from cancelling grandma’s Social Security and Medicare. Now here’s my platform. It is guaranteed to fix our country no matter
what your party affiliation. First, I
will establish term limits for all congressmen so they will not spend their
entire lives pandering to private interests for money so they can keep getting
reelected. Second, I will get rid of the
Electoral College so everybody’s votes will really count not just those in the “battleground
states” (those with a lot of electoral votes).
Third, I will require all states to establish an independent commission
to draw honest congressional district lines so state legislatures cannot blatantly
stack the deck in their party’s favor. Fourth,
all Congressmen will participate in Social Security and Medicare just like
every other American. While in office,
their Social Security and Medicare deductions will count toward their eligibility
for benefits at age 67 which makes sense because after their term limit they will
have to go get another job. While in
office they will participate in a 401k which they can also take with them to
their next job. This platform will,
undoubtedly, fix many of the flaws in our system and hopefully get our
politicians to think more about what’s right for our country rather than how
they can keep themselves and their party in power and line their own pockets. The Republicans and Democrats will never adopt
this platform of course because it’s not in their own selfish interests. You notice I was not invited to participate
in the debates.
