[[File:Dem.png]] Civics [[File:Dem.png]]
Owfism's ideal form of government is a republican one. Combining elements of liberal democracy (elections) with  direct democracy (referendums/citizen initiatives). He is in favor of a multi-party system that has political parties from both the left, right and center. There are also some elements of meritocracy, with cabinet members having to be experts in the ministry they're chosen. The idea of coalitions/oppositions are also abolished, instead all political parties work together towards a better future.

[[File:Soccap.png]] Social Market Economy [[File:Soccap.png]]
When it comes to the economy of the European Union, I advocate for a  social market economy, believing in strict anti-monopoly laws in order to encourage economic competition and also small business tax credits. This is similar to what the ordo-liberals advocated for in Germany, also supporting an economic constitution.

Owfism supports the state subsidizing the  private markets to allow for technological advancement and make sure they reach their full potential. As such, the state should nudge markets through subsidies and tax credits so that we can have technological advancement in a time that desperately requires it.

Owfism also supports regulations like a minimum wage, as it increases productivity overall while also equalizing bargaining between the workers and the shareholders. In some instances however, Owfism supports economic liberalization by allowing for high levels of foreign investment and of foreign talent through economic incentives and through opening up of immigration.

[[File:PlannedCap.png]] Public-Private Partnerships [[File:PlannedCap.png]]
I believe that public-private partnerships (P3S) will become a necessary thing in the future, especially in fields such as infrastructure, energy, construction and banking. By integrating private companies into state projects (and vice versa) we can make sure that projects which the state is failing to do will still be complete thanks to private co-operation and investment, while projects which the private sector is failing to do will be helped by the state through subsidies. These public-private partnerships (P3S) will be fundamental in the social-market economy that I propose.

[[File:Paternalism.png]] Welfare State [[File:Paternalism.png]]
I believe that the welfare state needs to be reformed, opposing wealth redistribution just to "eat the rich" and to help the people who don't want to help themselves, it punishes the successful in society so that the unsuccessful can just survive (even if they refuse to get out of welfare and become more of themselves). Not only is there a lower class that burdens not just a country or two but the world, but it also means that the government budget is always overheated to provide for people who, even when provided for with the basic things to succeed, won't want to succeed. Instead, I support a paternalistic welfare state which emphasizes personal responsibility and to climb up the  social ladder through hard work. Programs I support include:


 * [[File:Chilib.png]] Negative Income Tax (NIT) as proposed by Milton Friedman to replace most welfare programs (especially wasteful ones). This NIT shall encourage work and it will sort of be similar to expanding the already-existing American earned income tax credit (EITC), being the most effective anti-poverty program for [[File:Synd.png]] workers.
 * [[File:Social-ism.png]] Workfare: Requiring the able and mentally able unemployed to search for jobs in order to keep welfare benefits (including accepting part-time work), this will allow for lower unemployment and the fixing of the problem of welfare leeches.
 * [[File:Cball-Switzerland.png]] Swiss Model of Healthcare: Universal healthcare based on a model of compulsory private healthcare insurance with however high levels of flexibility along with a public healthcare option.
 * [[File:Edu.png]] Make tertiary education tuition-free so people can acquire useful skills in the digital, automated age.
 * [[File:Schoolicon.png]] School vouchers to enable low-income children to attend better schools, especially charter schools.
 * [[File:Right-Distributism.png]] Tax incentives in order to allow for profit sharing and employee stock ownership plans to happen within [[File:Corp.png]] corporations.
 * [[File:Urbanism.png]] Social housing, in order to house the homeless population (and to deal with the homelessness problem), also combining it with zoning de-regulation.

[[File:Regulationism.png]] Taxation [[File:Regulationism.png]]
I believe that the budget overall should be balanced, with the exception of times of national emergency and/or during economic crises. However, at the same time I believe the taxation should not punish innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit.

As such, the taxes that I support are: However, the main source of revenues won't come from just these taxes, but also the following:
 * [[File:Georgist.png]] Land Value Tax, in order to deal with land hoarders, terrible land usage and also land speculation, set at high rates in order to end (through peaceful means) the idea of a landlord and rent seeking. A land value tax also sort of serves as an ecological tax, as harming the air is taxable as well.
 * [[File:Envi.png]] Ecological Tax, in order to deal with greenhouse gas pollution, greenhouse gasses such as methane, CO2 and others will be taxed by this tax, however things like plastics will also fall under this tax, in order to encourage alternatives to these sorts of things and to help the environment.
 * [[File:DvCommerce.png]] Payroll Tax, on things like social security and healthcare programs, in order to raise government revenue so that the programs can continue to survive and people have their insurance and have access to social security after they retire.
 * [[File:Statecap.png]] For-profit state enterprises, especially in natural resource extraction through a social wealth fund, in order to raise revenue for the state.
 * [[File:Antiwelf.png]] Eliminating wasteful welfare programs, which will be replaced with the much more effective NIT and workfare, the European government can solve hundreds of billions of dollars through this.
