You asked me what I am in favor of:
1. Flat sales tax and repeal income tax. No deductions, credits, whatever. Put the IRS in its place.
Dems hate sales taxes because it's applied fairly and evenly. The lower end of society has to pay some in, which they want to avoid.
2. End the corporate income tax.
Won't happen. Corporate taxes are soft-targets to libs. Most people support corporate taxes because it doesn't affect them.
3. Cut the capital gains tax to 10%
Won't happen. Libs see this as 'free money' the rich receive, just like stock dividens and inheritances.
4. Cut the Estate tax to 10%
See above. Libs say this is 'free money', and belongs to the state.
5. Cut off welfare to illegal aliens and send home country a bill for the cost.
Massive potential Dem voting block. Gvt doesn't want to piss off Mexico for some reason.
6. Illegals are deported upon any conviction of a crime.
They usually are. They are also usually back within a week, or the'll skip bail, change names and disappear.
7. Illegal aliens who use the ER get treated, but sent to ICE for referral.
Libs would say this will create a humanitarian disaster, much like they do when ICE raids packing plants and has to let a bunch of them go because they have illegal kids at home. Of course, they ALL claim to have kids at home, and there is no practical way to know.
8. Employers get 25,000 fine for hiring illegal aliens.
Disagree. Employers can't really ask their status w/o exposing themselves to discrimination lawsuits. Also, ever heard of 'Mickas', aka fake documents?
9. Term limits for Congress and Senate
What does this do?
10. Allow insurance companies to sell health insurance across state lines.
Good idea.
11. Agressively pursue waste fraud and abuse in medicare, medicaid, and workers comp.
Workers Comp is about akin to food stamps and unemployment in the levels of fraud that exists.
12. Tort Reform and Class Action lawsuit reform.
Absolutely. If you sue and lose, you pay ALL costs associated.
13. Repeal Sarbanes Oxley
Whats this?
14. Ban PACS, Union, Lobbysist, Banks, Corporation, political donations but allow unlimited personal
campaign donations with full dislosure.
Sounds good.
15. Allow people to purchase savings bonds, CDS, in private Social Security accounts that can be passed on to heirs.
Nope, the gvt Ponzi scheme of Social Security would collapse overnight. We could just bail it out though....
16. Legalize pot and end prosecution of non-violent drug abusers who are arrested for consumption alone.
Excellent idea.
17. Welfare receipients must work 35 hours a week in order to collect check and undergo drug testing and employment training.
Absolutely. The libs will never allow drug testing, on the grounds of privacy issues. Make those fuckers pick up trash on the highways.
18. End the US Dept. of Education.
In favor of what?
19. Drill for oil off the coasts and in ANWR.
Ok if the US consumer gets benefit. I don't really support this because I doubt the consumer will see any difference in gas costs. Regulate the oil industry first.
20. Build new nuclear power plants.
Enviros fight this to the death even though nuclear is the safest form of energy ever used.
