To Fix the Economy...

1. Drop the federal income tax and replace it with a 8% national sales tax.
(Tax people only on what they spend and not what they make. Prior to WWII there was NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX yet the US thrived.)

2. Restrict Federal spending to 5% of GDP.
(This alone will start reducing the DEBT. Require that any surplus in revenue be spent on paying of the debt. The current GDP is $14.7 Trillion. 5% is $735 Billion. There is no need to be in more national debt than that.)

3. Freeze all Federal spending that requires deficit spending.

4. Freeze all unspent stimulus funds and TARP funds and put it into the debt payment.

5. Repeal Obamacare. (It will only drive up the cost of healthcare and not improve it, among other things.)

6. Eliminate all state and federal mandates on health insurance.
(Let the people decide what amount of healthcare insurance they wish to caring. We are a FREE people.)

7. Allow people to buy all forms of insurance across stateliness.

8. Outlaw all government unions. (Gov't employees work for the PEOPLE not themselves.)

9. Cut government employee pay to match the private sector.
(This includes their pension plans and their pension plans must come from their salaries. Require that all government pay increases be put to a public vote.)

10. Reduce state and federal employment by 50%. ("Need" not "Want" programs and personnel.)

11. Allow anyone under 45 to invest their Social Security in private sector accounts.
(In a generation or two SS will be a thing of the past.)

12. Allow Social Security to be given to next-of-kin after the person's death. (This floating, unclaimed money needs to be in circulation for the better of the economy. The gov't has no claim to it.)

13. Cut Medicare to zero for anyone with a net worth over $500,000 and/or annual retirement income over $100K.
(This alone will shore up Medicare. Only those over 45 today will be covered when they reach 65. The program ends after that.)

14. Eliminate the Federal Medicaid program all together.
(This is matter for the States.)

15. Eliminate all federal education funding including college funding.
(This is matter for the States.)

16. Eliminate all federal foreign aid for 5 years.
(Why are we borrowing money to give to other countries? They can borrow the money themselves and pay the interest, not the US.)

17. Eliminate federal funding of unemployment and limit State unemployment payments to 26 weeks, no extensions.

18. Eliminate all federal welfare programs. (These are matters for the States. This will also curb the flow of illegal immigrants coming for the free money.)

19. Pass an Amendment that requires that all members of Congress abide by all the rules, regulations, and restriction they impose on US citizens.

20. Eliminate the Congressional retirement and pension plan. They must invest in private sector retirement plans.

21. Eliminate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
(The creators of the Housing crisis and today’s economy.)

22. Eliminate all automotive "standards"; emission standards, and safety standards. Simply require a detailed readout of the standards and specs each vehicle has.
(Without all those standards there is no need for all the federal employees to enforce them. Let a Free American public decide what safety, mileage, and emission options they wish to buy on a car.)

23. Eliminate all financial regulation, banking regulation, and trade regulation.
(Without the regulations there is no need for all the federal employees to enforce them. The general populace doesn't need "know it all" federal employees thinking for them in this free-market economy.)

24. Charge a $20 flat fee day use for anyone visiting or using a state or federal park to pay for the parks' upkeep and employees.

25. Eliminate the option to campaign or run for office with the promise to increase anyone's (especially gov't employees') paychecks or funding for programs unless it is coming from their own pockets, not the tax those of the payers.

26. All gov't employees pay their own medical expenses and have the same plan options as everyone else.

27. Give power taken from the states by the Federal gov't back to the states.

28. Stop Federal funding for private programs such as Planned Parenthood and allow states that wish to continue its (and others) services to fund it within that state and/or each county. (The states do not need Federal micromanaging.)

29. No Death or Inheritance Taxes. (This is a double tax on things that were already taxed. The State  Federal gov'ts has no business here.)
