1. Accept the Federal Reserve. No one is interested in abolishing it, and if you people understood how banking worked, you wouldn’t be against it either.

2. Work on reforming Social Security (not “privatizing” or abolishing it) and welfare, etc. Your message isn’t popular on these issues and never will be.

3. Accept the Civil Rights Act as part of the legal-social framework of our society. The public sees anyone who opposes this as a guaranteed racist, and 99% of the time, they’re right.

4. Accept the income tax and the fact that it is legal. Work on reducing spending and simplifying the tax code, i.e. a flat tax.

5. Stop demonizing the poor.

Taking these steps, the LP message would be about 10,000 times more palatable. THE PARTY PRESENTS ITSELF AS “FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE, SOCIALL LIBERAL.” Most people don’t consider the radical “capitalism” of the LP’s position on the above five to be “responsbile” They consider it to be nuts. And they’re fucking right.
