When I become President, I will propose a 10-year plan to reduce the size, scope, and cost of the federal government by 50%. 

My goal will be to reduce the maximum tax burden to 20% of one's total income (combined federal and state).

I'd like to know how much we could save in foreign aid. Then how much we could save if we cut funding to programs like the NEA....or halve subsidizing Oil companies....let then dig into profits. I bet u could find ur 38% there.

He did mention this in houstan.  And he says its going to end, and he's going to give tax incentives for companies to stay here in US and drop the incentives for all companies who leave overseas.

More power to oil companies.

I'd get rid of foreign aid and end the war on drugs.
