I'd like to see a completely restructured tax system. Only 80 something percent of ALL money that goes to the IRS ends up in the hands of the spenders in Washington. That extra 10+% could come in very handy. I feel a national sales tax could go very far to achieve this (no tax on food, necessary stuff, etc).

I would also like to see social security restructured. What it is now is an involuntary plan that takes X amount of your money every week and gives everyone nearly the same amount at age 65 (or whenever you file for it). I feel it should be voluntary, and that there should be options for repayment (private vs. publically handled). All it is now is a way to redistribute money based on age and income, and once again punish those who earn more and reward those that don't.

I'd like to see the military move towards more specialized operation, a more mobilized, smaller force. I think with advanced training and equipment we can get the job done more effeciently with a smaller force, cutting some costs (although not much due to cost of training etc) and cut casualties. Having 1.7 million troops is great, but if we could get the same job done with 1.2, we would say a tremendous amount of money.

I think healthcare should be privatized nationwide. Government doesn't run car insurance, and look how well that system works. Don't take money for healthcare out of people's checks, let them keep it and spend it on a health insurance company.

Keep pushing for higher education. The brighter we as a society are, the more fowardthinking we will be, and the greater our chance to continue leading this world.

Keep pot illegal; it has been widely suspect of causing long-term damage in the front cerebral cortex (complex thinking area of brain), essentially making people stupider. Intellect is America's greatest force.

I could go on and on, but to sum up;

My two big mottos when it comes to government;
1. Corporations make money because they manage to find the BEST way to CUT costs while still providing a quality product. Government doesn't do this... for the most part, a government worker's job isn't at stake if a healthcare program doens't make money... its like kicking a kid out of the house for the first time.
2. Give a man $10, he'll eat for a day. Give him a job, he'll eat for a lifetime. (yes, I know, its a ripoff)

Questions?
