WE RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR IF F • American Heart litp Association "workers' government to im- plement a socialist program, to totally reorganize society in the interests of the work- ing people." Established in 1966, the party's Middle East policy calls for "the unity of Jewish, Palestinian and all workers to establish the United Socialist States of the Middle East." The Worker's World Party and Workers League would likely be considered exactly what's wrong with this country in the eyes of the Tisch Independent Citizens Party, established in May 1982. The name comes from for- mer gubernatorial candidate Bob Tisch (he lost to James Blanchard). Last year, the Tisch Party joined forces with the U.S. Taxpayers' Alliance, headed by Howard Phillips of Vienna, Va., who now serves as Tisch's presi- dential candidate. Mr. Phillips — his cam- paign number is 1-800-2- VETO-IRS — is the kind of politician who makes Pat Buchanan look like a panty- waist liberal. His platform is replete with the word "no." No abortion, no gun control, no to the United Nations, no to the World Bank, no "bailout of Gorbachev," no federally- funded education, no "envi- ronmental extremism," no welfare and no "pro-homo- sexual subsidies and regu- lations." And no foreign aid. "It's not that we're anti- Israel or anti-India," Mr. Phillips said. "We simply be- lieve that asking American taxpayers to pay foreign aid is unconstitutional. Just be- cause countries stand for democratic values doesn't mean the American taxpay- er is required to subsidize them." A Massachusetts native, Mr. Phillips is the former head of the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity and has "fought for victory over communism all over the world," he writes. "Our goal," he says, is "to launch a new political par- ty which advances principles and policy objectives consis- tent with the Bible and the Constitution of the United States." Complaints about the tax- man are not limited to the Tisch Party. "My Country "Ilis of Thee — Without the IRS" could be the national anthem of the Libertarians. Their 1992 platform: Repeal the income tax and dump the IRS. The Libertarian Party's presidential candidate thi-.D year is Andre Marrou. A graduate of MIT, he was elected in 1984 to the Alaska State Legislature. The vice presidential hopeful is Nancy Lord, an attorney who specializes in medical- legal and constitutional is- sues. The party advocates le- galizing drugs and opposes gun control in the belief that government's role is not to interfere in the private lives of citizens. Government should be there to protect Mr. Phillips makes Pat Buchanan look like a pantywaist. , civil rights and provide na- tional defense, but have no involvement in education, agriculture, trade or manu- facturing. Libertarians' ral - lying cry is "freedom." This means freedom to choose abortion and not to wear seat belts, and freedom from paying any kind of foreign aid. Libertarians support sep- aration of church and staf- and oppose national health insurance programs. TAKE THIS TEST! reads a front-page headline on Liberty Today, the Liber- tarian Party's newspaper. You score high — i.e., Liber- tarian tarian — if you agree with any of the following: 1) No draft or compulsory regis-J- tration 2) Government should keep hands off radio and TV program content 3) Government should not in- terfere in sex conduct be- tween consenting adults. Not surprisingly, a good number of Libertarian pub- lications decry taxes, though recent issues of Liberty Today and The Truth, a Libertarian publication based in Ionia, also address such topics as the problem with television and "Are Libertarians Religious Peo- ple?" (The answer: yes, of course). The Libertarian Party claims to be America's "third largest and fastest growing , party." According to their brochure, Libertarians hav3 elected more than 100 can- didates and polled 5 million votes in 1990. ❑
