I'd be assassinated quickly as my first order of business would be to abolish all the useless baseless governmental organizations that suck the American people dry. I'd also need approval for all this...yeah, right, but here we go anyway.
I'd start with the IRS & inact the a flat tax, same percentage for every working American, no exceptions. The percentage would be based on the timetable set up to pay off every debt we owe as a country & become debt-free.
Since there would also be no more organizations offering hand-outs to the lazy, the increase in working Americans will be astounding.
The only people I can think of that get a break are:
1. Those that can prove they are mentally incapable of working, which would have to be verified by a reputable honest licensed psychiatrist of my choosing. I say mentally & not physically because quadriplegics work. If you can prove you are in worse shape than a quadriplegic, there may be room to negotiate.
2. Those who have reached the age of retirement.
3. Single parents - help with childcare while they work. Being single does not make me or any other American responsible for the welfare of your children. You work - no exceptions.
I'd also cease and desist being the world police & unless a country poses a threat (a real one, not the invented version) to my country, stay out of their business. If we are contacted by a country's people asking us for help before their ruler kills them all, we can help them. Otherwise, get out.
I would trade fairly with other countries but will do nothing to create more debt. We trade our resources for your's - take it or leave it. This would probably require us getting out of debt first, but longterm, that's the plan.
There would also be no more bought & paid for politicians. Laws would be enacted & enforced to avoid this. If caught pandering to corporations, lock them up & throw away the key. Do that a couple of times & the saints go marching in.
Lord, I could go on forever, but that's a beginning. DF, will you be my running mate? That's almost like my valentine, only not so much.
