Welcome to the Cyber Home of
The American Political Party
(TAPP)
First Two Goals
  • National — Legitimize being an American: Require every form asking a U. S. citizen to declare her or his heritage, culture, ancestry (or other euphemism for bloodline used by the form's designers to pretend that is not what's being requested) to offer [X] American as a legal choice.

  • State of HawaiiHonor society's obligation to provide a superior education provided to its children via its public schools.

Law Enforcement
Prisons: Double punishment in a useful way: Replace TV with reading classes; Replace meat diets with vegetarian–only diets; and replace weight rooms with yoga classes. Double capacity by cutting most sentences in half. Watch the ACLU cut their legs off by telling their biggest contributors — who believe vegetarian diets, yoga and TV-free zones are Nirvana — that it is really "cruel and unusual" punishment.

Hate Crimes - the evil of subjective v. objective interpretation and application of the law.

Immigration - the evil of selective enforcement of the law.
Social Contract
Right to keep and bear arms: This right is absolute, because without it no other individual right is safe.

Abortion: Protection of the unalienable rights individually endowed by the Creator of the Universe in each American requires secular law to unambiguously answer this question:
When does a woman's single life with a single set of Creator endowed unalienable rights, become two lives with each life possessing a separate, and therefore potentially conflicting, set of such rights?

Marriage: Return "marriage" to the care of the world's True Religions and Great Philosophies, because they created "marriage" as a sacred sacrament long before human society created secular law that borrowed the term: Rewrite secular law using terms more relevant than "marriage", like DNA-provable paternity and maternity (for inheritance laws), or the obligation to support a minor child (for tax benefits).
Today 30% of America's children are born to unmarried women, and 50% living with an unmarried adult. So what sense does it make to squabble over the definition of a term made irrelevant during the last half century by the 60's protesting generation*?
* The 60's protesting generation turned protesting into the ultimate party format by using the threat of violence to eliminate the inconvenience of laws, let alone adult supervision. Then they went on to eliminate the only laws that could not be expressed without a secular law definition of "marriage". (Click the owl icon to read more.)
Taxes
Income, Gift and Estate Taxes: Tapp prefers a tax whose base is the amount of money spent by an individual (that measures the goods and services she or he enjoys) then a tax whose base is the amount of money received. Therefore, so long as the receipt of money is used to assess a tax, Tapp's principles require it to be levied without regard to the personal circumstances leading to that receipt: An Income Tax on money received for work, a Gift tax on money received as a gift, and an Estate Tax on money received as an inheritance.
Economics
Labor Unions: Today's laws grant labor unions great power that is not subject to the checks and balances needed to prevent abuse of that power. Hence, America's auto industry lies crushed by grossly excessive benefits extorted by labor unions free to act in nation–wide concert to form a behemoth that targeted one company at a time — while laws prohibiting the targets from acting in like concert left them staked out alone and dwarfed by that behemoth. Ending the destruction of America's industries, schools, and even its government will require laws that result in multiple unions with each limited in membership to the employees of the employer/trade with it negotiates, and subject to the same anti-trust restrictions placed on acting in concert that are imposed on employers.

Trade: TAPP supports free trade, and opposes open trade. Free trade requires free partners like England, Japan and India. It benefits America and its free partner alike. Open trade with tyrannical governments, or governments whose corruption produces oppression indistinguishable from tyranny, like China and Mexico, weakens America and strengthens tyranny and corruption.
