Declaration for Constitutional Spending
Preamble
I join my fellow Americans in signing this Declaration for Constitutional Spending. By signing my name to this doctrine, I pledge to restore and protect America’s constitutional principles that are the foundation of our great nation. I believe our government should spend responsibly. I believe that our constitutional principles unite us — and I believe that an America that spends, budgets, and taxes its citizens based off our founding principles will prosper and grow.
Restore a Balanced Budget
We demand a balanced federal budget and restoration of responsible spending habits. Congress must set spending limits and boundaries that cannot be exceeded. Americans deserve lawmakers who set responsible budgets and a government that spends within those budgets.
Restore a Culture of Responsible Spending
We demand the government puts an end to the culture of frivolous and detrimental federal spending. Congress cannot continue to waste our taxpayer dollars on special interest projects and excessive and costly government programs. To get our economy back on track, we need to rein in government spending and cultivate a culture of responsible spending cuts.
Restore Limited Taxation
We will fight against tax hikes in order to ensure our government remains within its constitutional taxation and spending limits. Excessive government taxation has been detrimental to the balance of our struggling economy. Federal taxation overreach has gone too far. Americans work hard for their paychecks – they should be able to choose how to spend their own money.
Restore Transparency and Accountability in Government Spending
Taxpayers have the right to know how and where their hard-earned tax dollars are being spent. The American people should have access to and open knowledge of the federal government’s spending strategies because our government should be accountable to its people.
Restore Opportunity and Optimism in Our Free Market
We demand the restoration of low tax rates and limited regulations on small businesses. American entrepreneurs should have the freedom to innovate, build businesses and create jobs without government interference. Citizens, not government, should decide the winners and losers in the economy.
Restore the Purchasing Power of our Hard-Earned Dollars
Our economic legacy is a vital part of the success of our great country. Americans invest in our economic legacy—one of responsibility and vigor. Our federal government should be similarly making large investments in our economic legacy by building up the purchasing power of our dollar and encouraging hard work, self-reliance and the pursuit of opportunity in America.I Stand for Constitutional Spending
I believe in restoring principled economic policy, and I demand a new era of commonsense constitutional spending. We must protect the American Dream that unites us and drives our patriotism, hard work and constitutional liberties.
If the American Dream is a banana republic then this is definitely the way to achieve it. It is is nothing but a plutocratic wish list dressed up in Patriot gobblydygook.
These conservatives are such suckers. Of course most of them can afford to be — they’re collecting nice pensions and social security checks and they have single payer health care — all of which they think they deserve but nobody younger than them should be allowed to have. Because nobody worked as hard as they did.
Well, except the heirs and heiresses who will benefit most from those policies. They work hard too. At the gym.
