Manifesto 2.0

1. The government really has one or two jobs: to defend our country and it's people along with promoting justice peace. A governments job to protect the people, not cause rifts between social classes with taxes and other financial struggles.

2. I support the spending of Social Security and Social Insurance because that's helping the people of this country when they need it. Now funding corporate income is a bit of a hard thing to support or criticize. One reason why I wouldn't support it is cause this is money that we are spending on corporations who take that money and do whatever they want with it. But if we didn't help them, then it could make unemployment higher if the corporation can't take care of itself. I don't exactly understand what the "Other" category is, so it's hard to say if I were to support it or not.

3. The only things that I feel like we should spend money on are Medicare and Medicaid, Social Security, and defense. Without a proper explanation to the other parts of the chart, I don't think I am comfortable with my tax money going into them.

4. When I did my Federal Budget Challenge, I made sure that my defense and social security, Medicare, and Medicaid  were not cut. Though, with unneeded portions of the government and with a few major cuts, I managed to get it all the way down to a 2.40 deficit. I figured that keeping the country safe and healthy was better then sending troops to wars or helping other countries when we need as much help as we can get.

5. Metaphorical Image:

I think that this picture represents my manifesto simply because if we had adequate defense and healthcare, then our country will be able to move smoothly. If we get rid of sectors that we do not need, make it easier for people to receive jobs, make healthcare not so hard to receive, and bump up defense our country would be well on the way of being better. It'll help achieve better harmony and maybe when we get ourselves out of a deficit, we will be able to help others.
