It won't be pretty for them though, agreed. 
Guillotine Party
Founded in 2011
The Guillotine Party is a response to Christian extremists and their attempts at dissolving the federal government. Our mission is to dunk the tea baggers and thwart their hostile takeover of our government. The current political environment has become one where he who screams the loudest wins the day. The right has taken full advantage of this, employing every dirty trick in the book to mislead the American people.
But the pendulum is now set to swing to the left. Voices of reason must be heard over the infantile cries of the non-libertarian right. We have a Constitutional right to defend this nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Right now America is facing a threat from within that is far greater than any potential terrorist attack. The Guillotine Party is a call to defend our country against its domestic enemies.
Mission
Guillotine Party's Platform:
Tea Party's Prospective Cuts- Our party vehemently opposes the following cuts to essential programs for the general welfare:
- $11.2 billion in cuts for early childhood programs
- $8.9 billion in cuts for low-income housing programs
- $7.6 billion in nutritional aid for low-income children (WIC)
- $4.6 billion in cuts for teacher training and afterschool programs
- $4.1 billion in cuts for job training for unemployed workers
- $2.5 billion in cuts for energy bill assistance for the poor
- $2.5 billion in cuts for community health centers
- $2.0 billion in cuts for homeless assistance grants
- $420 million in cuts for legal assistance for the poor
- $317 million in cuts for Planned Parenthood
- All proposed cuts combined = $44 billion
Guillotine Party's Answer- We can cut the deficit by nearly double that amount by eliminating the following tax breaks for the rich:
- $11.5 billion, the per year cost of recent tax cuts for millionaires' estates
- $8.9 billion, mortgage interest deductions for vacation homes
- $6.7 billion, eliminate use of loopholes the rich use to avoid paying taxes
- $5.2 billion, removing limit on itemized deductions for the rich
- $4.1 billion, tax breaks for foreign operations of U.S. financial corps
- $2.5 billion, tax breaks for oil companies
- $4.9 billion, cost of extending alcohol fuel tax breaks
- $2.3 billion, tax loophole for hedge fund managers
- $312 million, cost of allowing companies to write off punative damages
- $303 million, cost of special tax breaks for the timber industry
- $42 billion, one year cost of extending the Bush tax cuts for top brackets
Religion- Absolute separation of church and state applies for both the free exercise clause and the establishment clause of the First Amendment. This means that everyone should be able to worship however they choose but the government cannot endorse one religion at the exclusion of another.
Abortion- Any governmentally imposed obstacle to a woman's ability at obtaining an abortion is a Constitutional violation of that woman's right to privacy.
Health Care- The U.S. currently ranks 36th in life expectancy. This fact is proof that our health care system is not working. We should have a single-payer system based on the Canadian model.
Workers' Rights- We support the Administration's strong enforcement of the NLRA and the strengthening of workers' right to unionize and collectively bargain.
Social Security- There should be absolutely no privatization of social security.
Gay and Lesbian Rights- We believe in equality for all, regardless of sexual orientation. DOMA acts are unconstitutional because they violate a person's fundamental right to marry whom they choose, without showing a furtherance of a compelling governmental interest.
Military- It is time to bring our troops home. Our government can no longer justify the $1.23 trillion that it has spent on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, let alone the loss of human life.
