=**//__Introduction:__//** "//Do unto others as you would have// them do unto //you//" = = =

The Pari Passu party believes strongly in many things. Its main belief is equal rights and opportunities for all. We have laws and regulations that will assist each American to attain the possibility for equality. Another large belief of our party is focusing on the quality of life of the American and not focusing as much of our efforts on helping other countries. We believe that we have an obligation to help other countries in need, but we also believe that we need to focus on the people of America more and the people of other countries less. Because we believe all people should be treated equally we have made a taxation system where everybody gets taxed the same regardless of financial situation or race. Because we believe all people should have an equal opportunity to engage in the political system, the money political candidates can use to support their campaign is limited. The Pari Passu party believes strongly in equal rights and will do as much as it can to create and maintain equal rights in America.

=**//__Election reform:__//**= We believe that all candidates for any political position should have an equal chance to win regardless of financial support.

__//**Presidential Campaign:**//__ All presidential candidates will be entitled to one radio advertisement on NPR and one televised advertisement on Fox, NBC and MSNBC. All adds will be played around 4-6 times a day. This is fully payed for by the government with hopes that using smaller filming companies will help drive the local economy in different states. For further advertising, candidates may use up to $120,000,000 on their campaign. That money can be given to the candidate by any person or organization or the candidate may use his or her own money. All money given to a candidate must be used solely on the campaign. If it is determined that money earmarked for their campaign is used for personal expenses, the candidate will be eliminated from election.

Political candidates that are running for any office other than president will only be allowed to use $8,000,000. Again, the money may come from any person or organization or the candidate may use his or her own money. If the candidate is found to be using campaign money on personal items, the public will be notified and a note must be placed under the candidate's name on all advertisements saying "I used other people's money for my own benefit during the campaign." We want all political candidates to have an equal chance of wining regardless of how much money they spend.

=__//Foreign Policy reform://__= Our foreign policy covers four main points; terrorism, immigration, foreign aid and foreign wars.

//__**Foreign Terrorism:**__//
We will strive to end all terrorism. To do this we will have the President, the Foreign Adviser and the Secretary of Defense seek out the overseers of the different terrorist groups and will have them try to negotiate a peace treaties. We will start off each negotiation by having the President say, "We want to make peace with _ to ensure the safety of the American citizens and the citizens of ___." We want to make peace with all countries, organizations and groups.

**//__Local Terrorism:__//**
We will try our hardest to end all of the terrorist/hate groups in America. To achieve this we will control American terrorist groups and gangs more by making the punishment of a hate crime or gang related activity much more severe. We will assign more enforcement agents to seek out these terrorist organizations. Terrorist acts are a major problem in America and it needs to be stopped to ensure the safety of the American citizen.

__//**Foreign affairs (aid, war, trade, relationships):**//__
The Pari Passu party wants to focus more of its time and money solving the problems of America. This means we will not be helping other countries in need as much. We will strive for peace with all countries.We will be more reluctant to go to war and put troops in the Middle East. We will also promote healthy relationships with other countries to reduce the number of wars and the money we have to spend on foreign wars. We want to increase the quality of life of the average American and to do this we need to reduce the money we spend on other countries and spend it on Americans.

=**//__Tax Reform:__//**= Because the Pari Passu Party strongly believes that everyone is entitled to equal rights we have created a taxation system where everybody is taxed the same percentage regardless of income, race or education. //**__Federal Rates:__**// Because we believe everybody is equal, we will impose a federal income tax that will tax every American 28%. The current tax system taxes people differently based on their income. Wealthier people do not deserve to be taxed more so poorer people can have breaks.

States will be able to impose sales and property tax. The range is between 7%-17% for sales tax and, 0.60% and 2.90% for property tax. States may also tax different items different amounts. All Items that have a different sales tax such as alcohol, non-prescription drugs, leisure items, ect. can be taxed between 10% and 75%. States may decide, but the Federal government gets 25% of the money from this tax.
 * //__State Rates:__//**

A 4%, income tax break lasting one year will be presented to all people that complete over 210 hours of community service in one year at approved places. Another 12% reduction is available if you work at an educational facility. If you are a veteran you earn a 2% tax break for life. If you complete over 398 hours of community service in a year you earn a 24% tax break lasting 1.5 years. Each child you have will count as a 1.5% tax break with a limit of 5.

=__//Civil Rights Reform://__= Our civil rights policy allows people to live their life and have access to basic rights without making America a potentially dangerous place.

Everybody at or above the age of 18 can vote. At the age of 18, children usually go off to college and become an independent citizen and thinker. We believe that one of the rights that comes with becoming an independent citizen is the right to shape one's future by voting. All American citizens above the age of 18 may vote and are encouraged to vote.
 * //__Voting rights:__//**

//**__Rights of The American__**//: Drinking age has been raised to 28 years old. We believe this should be done to stop college kids from drinking and to focus more on their academics.

All women now have the right to get an abortion in any state. We believe this should be done to prevent people from having kids that they are not ready for emotionally and financially.

Capital punishment has been outlawed in all 50 states. We believe this should be done because capital punishment may kill innocent people and wastes the taxpayers' money.

Another right we believe in is safety, especially while driving. In order to make America's roads safer the speed limit will change more frequently. In the places where the speed limit changes there will be a police officer monitoring people's speed and ticketing them for $500 dollars if they have exceeded the speed limit. We have these police officers to encourage people to pay more attention to the road.

=__//**Trade Reform:**//__= We promote buying from local businesses. We do not ban buying from countries but we regulate it and do not encourage it

//__**Foreign imports:**__// A flat rate of 30% will be impossed on all imported items and all foreign imports will be inspected thoroughly as well. We will inspect all foreign imports with the hopes that we can prevent illegal drugs, weapons and stolen goods coming to America from foreign countries.

All businesses that sell their products in foreign countries or businesses that import or export their goods from foreign countries will be taxed 35% more on sales tax that both the buyer and the seller will have to pay. We believe this should be done to stop larger, international companies from monopolizing all of the sales and allow the smaller American businesses to sell more of their items and further grow the economy. = = =__//**Immigration Reform :**//__= The Pari Passu Party wants to make the American life the best it can be and to do this we need to make sure all Americans are able to get jobs and because of this. immigration will be controlled strictly. We will create a fence that covers the entire boarder between America and Mexico additionally our borders will have improved checkpoints. As a trade off, the process to become an American citizen will be easier and will not take as long. If you become an American citizen we reserve the right to banish you if you do not make at least $42,000 dollars a year and help the American economy. State officials will monitor this. Also if you commit any crime, even petty theft or trespassing, have more than three motorized vehicle tickets or not pay your taxes within two weeks of the due date we reserve the right to banish you as well. You will also pay 20% more on all taxes for 10 years after becoming an American citizen to help pay for the increased border patrol.

=__//**Education Reform:**//__=

__//**College:**//__ The Pari Passu Party wants to make all American Citizens educated. To do this we will make the first two years of college mandatory, during these years you have to take; English Composition one and two, Introduction to Mathematical Modeling, College Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus one, ,Electronic Technology, World Literature, American Government, World History one, United States History one, Principles of Physics one and every student must take a foreign language for a minimum of three semesters. Because we believe that all people should have equal opportunities we want everybody to be educated, plus a more educated America would be a better America. After two years and all of those classes have been completed the student have the option to stay or to leave.

Because the Pari Passu Party believes that a smarter America would be a better America all American Citizens are required to go to school for a total of 14 years, including the two years of mandatory college. The academic curriculum and expectations of Americas public schools will be raised and the students will have to reach the new expectations. Between 1st grade and 12th grade all breaks will be shortened by 20%, this is done to increase the number of school days each year. If a student does not meet the academic standards and has a C grade average or lower, the student will be forced to retake that full year even the classes the student got better than a C in.
 * //__1st grade through 12th grade:__//**

All mandatory education will be payed for by the government. This does not included private schools.
