If you are like the majority of Americans and don't think either party represents you, what would you like to see in a Moderate party?
I'd like to see a party that:
Is pragmatic and has willingness to compromise as a fundamental core of its platform
Focuses on addressing income inequality through education, healthcare, and expansion of the earned income tax credit rather than means tested welfare in as many cases as possible
Fights for a more progressive income tax system, but keeps corporate and business taxes competitive
Works to create a pro-business environment through regulation and taxation
Works within the Constitution, but is willing to take centrist positions when it makes sense because they are wide spread population wide issues and is very willing to not try to fix an issue with federal action (to defer to state and local governments) if it only affects small proportions of the population
Values energy independence AND actions to limit climate change
Has an idea of civil rights based on individuals and not groups
Values free trade
Accepts scientific consensus
Has a foreign policy promoting a strong bond with the rest of the West, accepts a reduction in American hegemony, and rejects Western universalism in favor of finding common interests with other civilizations rather than trying to westernize them
