Economic Liberty
It wouldn't be improper to set up a non-profit with which to channel donations. As it it there's a ton of them and lord knows if theyre legitimate or efficient. A completely transparent process would be nice.
Why would a government be better at managing charitable donations than a non-governmental organization? In any case, could we keep this out of the national party platform, and let the State governments do this if they want?
Property and Contract
What might we expect to happen if we refuse to uphold intellectual property, copyrights, patents...? I'm actually in favor of dropping them all, but it'd be extremely troubling to me if market forces push society into a habit of steamrolling attribution and authorship. Suppose a market can operate at that level - copying and borrowing without barriers, does this wind up encouraging or discouraging originality..? How is loose copyright enforcement working out in China?
I really don't know what should be done about intellectual property. On the one hand, it's over-stretching the bounds of property rights to ideas, on the other hand, it could be a useful tool to promote innovation, and was promoted by the founding fathers and the Constitution. I think Trademarks are definitely justifiable, while the argument for copyright protection is weaker, and the argument for patents weaker still.
Since I'm not sure about it, I'd rather leave it alone and not advocate any drastic changes to intellectual property law.
Energy and Resources
Will we be supporting a safety bureau or a power distribution bureau to manage these?
I don't think we need to. It's the consumer's responsibility to choose companies that have a track record of safety, and the courts' job to punish those companies that commit fraud/are-negligent.
Monopolies and Corporations
This one is trickier than that, there's judicial matters of liability as well - or is that none of the Parliament's business? I can imagine what a combination of limited liability and zero regulation might wind up becoming, people need to be held personally accountable for frauds of every shade, maybe we will need a taskforce of some sort, I don't know.
I think parliament should abolish limited liability. If there are going to be statutory privileges granted to corporate shareholders, it should be done at the State-level IMO, not at the federal.
Even with the most minimal charter there must be some prosecution of fraud, but in that case there needs to be clear guidelines as to what sort of corporate behavior is acceptable, in that case a regulating institution constantly monitoring them?
Judicial Precedence creates a body of common law that people can reference when deciding if some activity they want to engage in is within the bounds of law.
With regards to activities that have no legal precedence, perhaps we could have a court of some sort that 'tries' new laws that are proposed by a parliamentary body, to see if they are a justifiable restriction on human action, or if the activity that would be restricted is not criminal and therefore ought not to be prohibited. This is all highly theoretical of course, so I'd prefer not including any thing like this in our official platform and instead discuss it more.
Self-Defense
I'm not sure I can get on board with legal fully automatic assault rifles and other military ordinance. Weapons with purely offensive uses especially, nor would I allow for instance an individual to arm themselves with an airforce or the like.
I think the federal government should only place restrictions on large caliber guns and armored vehicles, while leaving regulation of automatic assault rifles to State governments.
Environment
As the corporeal body of the nation the land must retain its value in the long term. I'd be happy to find people simply caring about what they do, but I'd consider a regulatory body imposing value (and therefore costs and penalties) on natural resources.
I think each State can manage this on its own without having a national EPA like organization setting regulations. Perhaps having some regulations to ensure that a property owner doesn't diminish his property's long term value (e.g. degrading its agricultural value through practices that lead to soil erosion) would be wise for States to instate.
Education
non-profit parents cooperative schools would be ideal, this could be encouraged with minimal effort and oversight.
I'd like States to deal with education and leave the federal government out of it. There is some justification for using property tax dollars to build public schools as having a school nearby is a local common good (although the internet and distance education is reducing the necessity of having a local school).
Health Care
Again, we don't want to regulate safety? I hope the economic freedom takes the wind out of corporations because as they are today they'd become monsters without regulation. Again some sort of non-profit cooperative medical system could be encouraged to form a minimal health care, I would prefer to simply have sensible hospitals with doctors instead of lawyers and accountants calling the shots. Can we do that?
The courts are more than capable of dealing with fraud and negligence from medical goods/services providers. People ought to be able use the services of any practitioner they want whether they're licensed or not.
I don't see why the government would need to setup a non-profit coop. People could do that on their own.
