1.) Flat % income tax, no loopholes. Make it 10-15%. That's what you owe to the national and state government for the purpose they serve. Same for corporate tax with write-offs for self investment. Tax penalties for salaries paid to workers outside of the US.
2.) Minimum 1% interest rate on all interest bearing accounts (we're talking savings accounts at the local bank more than anything else here), and risk based investments (stocks and the like) have no safety net.
3.) No bailouts for anything. Operating any business involves risk.
4.) Accounting standards that safeguard individual retirement accounts, i.e. a company can't force you to invest only within the company for your 401(k) and such.
5.) All medical bills are automatically on a 24 month interest free term. After the 2 years we go to a 1% APR loan until the balance is paid in full. Either that or go with the Canadian system of free for everyone but better care available for those willing to pay.
6.) Across the board 20% cut in spending by the federal govt. This means either elective salary reduction or layoffs for employees, cuts in programs etc... until the national debt is at no more than 5% of GDP. The president makes no salary whatsoever, the Senate gets a 50% pay cut and the house gets a 25% paycut (since some of them are actual people). Civil service is service, not a job from which you should be allowed to become wealthy.
Unless the job is actually physically dangerous (i.e. military) no govt job should pay more than $100k per year.
7.) All govt contracts are to be publicly posted and audited on a yearly basis
8.) Flat 2% sales tax on any and all imported goods.
9.) Remove the social security cap (currently $92k I believe, could be wrong)
10.) Once again invest in infrastructure. Put solar panels on the top of big box retailers, offer tax incentives and interest free loans to get this going. Sudden demand will bring the price of the techonology down in the long run at which point places like apartment complexes and such can start getting in on the action until it reaches individual homes at an affordable level.
11.) Campaign reform; Presidential candidates can spend no more than $10 million on a campaign INCLUDING ING TV ADS. If your message isn't strong enough to reach the masses without assaulting them every ten minutes then you've got a shit message.
12.) Get the Fed. Govt out of your house by going back to a constitutional govt. State laws will be what you think about, the fed govt is only there to prevent attacks and to regulate interstate commerce.
13.) Tax incentives for hiring US Workers
14.) Tax Penalties for Outsourcing
15.) Get out of the Middle East entirely, they don't want us there and it's a waste of cash
16.) Enough with the Federal Government Spending Programs, they got us nowhere in the 70's and chances are they won't get us anywhere 30 years later.
