Generally interested in what I guess some might call "tax cuts for the rich", to tone down the progressive tax system especially in the US. And I'm not rich and would not be affected by such cuts for people suspecting me of being a scrooge, and it doesn't even affect me directly regardless since my concern is for the US and I'm in Japan.
My reasoning for this is to reduce corruption. Take Estonia which introduced a flat income tax (same flat tax rate for all citizens regardless of income). Economists predicted it would be an absolute disaster and hardly bring in any revenue, since they based their projections on economies with progressive tax systems. What they found instead was a ridiculous surprise: the government brought in more tax revenue than they knew what to do with.
The reason is that it eliminated corruption in the economy. No more cronyism, no more lobbying politicians for tax exemptions, no more exploiting loopholes or outright criminal tax evasion. Such a simple and flat system made everyone, rich or poor, happy to pay the tax and it made it difficult to avoid it. Further that low-tax experiment actually helped make Estonia one of the fastest growing economies in the world making it a hugely attractive site for investors and entrepreneurs. I'd like to see similar things happen in the US with jobs coming to the US rather than being exported overseas. I think it also aligns a lot with American ideals in a classic liberal sense.

Gender politics tbh, I'm anti-feminism and anti-misandry. It's kind of the only political issue I have any interest at all in at this point.

Mmmh... I'd say it's a tie between climate change and income inequality.
Abortion. Can't stand to watch innocent people die. It's taken more life's than Hitler took, even more than Stalin took. It needs to stop. More and more people are turning gay and though they get on my nerves, that could possibly be a natural population control.
I hate politicians, lying bastards, make promises to sucker you into voteing for them then do fuck all to help the little people who put them there in the first place. They fidle their expenses and award contracts to big firms, then when they leave office they get directorships paying ten million a year, anyone can see it's a kick back, did you read about that Lib Dem MP shaging a Russian spy, I wish I was an MP then sexy Russian bints would shag me, I'd betray my country for a leg over.
Probably Gun Rights, as responsible recreational shooting is my favorite hobby. In fact, I'm actually making a PowerPoint Presentation about it right now. I'm a level-headed and responsible person that prefers the more diplomatic and non-violent route when it comes to conflict, but that doesn't mean I don't get a big smile from slingin' lead and getting that whiff of gunpowder from the rifle chamber with each shot.
I'm most passionate about keeping people together. I find that a lot of times politics cause division. I like people to come together. And not to disagree. I think however the concept of freedom of speech is very important.
Political issues having to do with the treatment of undocumented immigrants in the country, especially at the border. And the overreaching power of ICE.
Taxes. Everyone should pay the same rate on the same kind of income with no deductions, exemptions, credits, or status differences.
That the communism in this country will collapse. Some day one day. They fuck up with us the locals they're gonna pay for that. No freedom of speech and shit.
