My Turn: New political party Published: 2/16/2021 7:11:14 AM I propose establishing a new political party, the Common Sense Party (CSP), from the federal level to town governments. None of the existing official parties, especially Democratic and Republican, has proven very successful solving problems. If Democrats had their unfettered ways, a burger flipper would earn the same salary as a brain cancer surgeon. Unfettered Republicans would allow huge corporations complete freedom to do whatever was necessary to increase profits with absolutely no concern for the environmental or social consequences, tax free. Yet moderates in both parties are so entrenched in the belief that their party is correct that compromise is slow and often unreachable.
