My Plan to Save America
- Reduce our standing armed forces by 50% and institute a universal draft upon the later of attaining age 18 or graduation from high school (assuming you are a full time student). Draftees not needed for active duty at the time they are drafted can be placed in Reserve/National Guard units. [Note: this will change the political dynamics so much that draftees will never be needed for active service].
- Convene a commission of laymen (not pols or military men) to order the closure of any military base not shown to be vital to national security.
- Immediately cancel contracts on defense systems and hardware which DOD has previously said it doesn’t want or need.
- Place a $1 per gallon tax on gas and levy a tax on passenger autos that exceed a specific weight.
- Tax all forms of income equally and eliminate all deductions, exemptions and tax credits.
- Drop the cap on earnings subject to the Social Security tax.
- End domestic agricultural subsidies and other forms of “corporate welfare”.
- Institute a “single payer” universal health care system with annual lifetime caps on coverage [caps to kick in after a person attains a certain age]. People can supplement this coverage via private insurance. Replace the current “fee for service” system which promotes excessive and wasteful testing and treatment.
- Get the tort bar out of medical malpractice.
- Amend the Constitution to allow a line-item-veto - and use it to get the pork and earmarks out of the budget.
- Amend the Constitution to allow a President one six year term only.
- Get the money out of politics by (i) barring former government employees above a certain level from doing business with or working for companies doing greater than a set amount of business with the government for five years post their government service; and (ii) Limit contributions to politicians and parties.
- Legalize and tax the sale of marijuana. End the wasteful, corrupt and losing “War on Drugs”. Release non-violent drug offenders in jail only for possession and pass mandatory federal criminal sentencing without parole for anyone selling drugs to persons under age 21.
- Ban the sale of assault weapons and large capacity magazines. Institute mandatory background checks and waiting periods for all gun sales.
- Use the military to seal the borders. Pass an immigration bill that deals with the 12 million illegal’s here who cannot be rounded up and deported.
- End “high stakes” testing in public schools and institute a program that allows any high school graduate who has attained a minimum GPA to attend a community college free post mandatory military service.
- Triple the size of the IRS to attack and tax the “underground economy”.
