What is wrong with President Jarvis?
Some say we are "weak" on a vague communist specter they believe is around the world. Don't get me wrong - there are states which pursue dangerous and violent agendas, which seek to expand the power of a few at the cost of freedom and peace for many. Yet we have faced this threat. Not with saber rattling and unthinkable war, but with peace and firmness. We have secured Greece and we stand firm with the people of Korea and China in their attempts to reach peace and liberty in their respective nations. People in Greece, in Germany, in China - people around the world can sleep safer in their beds, knowing they are both their lives and their liberties are secure. What more should we do? Issue useless proclamations to provocate the Soviets and hope that acting like them will show how different we are?
We are not like them, and we should not act like them. We believe and act for peace, for liberty, and for prosperity. Our commitment to a free and cooperative people, diplomatic process, and free development have lead to peace through many rough times in our history. Those principles have taken us through war from within and without against imperialists and fascists - even the terrifying world wars - and they will continue to take us through the struggles of today. Unless shot at first, a Jarvis administration will not try to "kill" the Soviet Union - their path is not stronger or better than ours, that we need to resort to such risky tactics - but we will outlast them. We will bury them.
Some fear that loosening the regulations and subsidies built up during the world wars will ruin the economy. But why should be prop up large corporations which no longer need the propping, regulate the wartime factory system that no longer has - thankfully - its war, and tax the American people for projects no longer relevant to them? Unnecessary regulations and subsidies are at best inefficient and unwanted - except, of course, to the rich companies who benefit, and to all those who benefit along with them - and at worst they are more harmful to the economy than what our opponents fear.
Vote for another four years of peace and prosperity - vote for another four years of Jarvis. ((I've forgotten whether Vice-President candidates vote or not. Aside from special cases like a couple elections ago.))
