1. Ideas

1. End the Wars all three of them. Within the next three months. Complete draw down and bring them all home.

2. Return to the Clinton Era of Tax rates or better yet the 1960's era Tax rates.

3. Revise the Tax code to removed all those little loopholes and restructure the Tax code and simplify it basic stuff. If you need a CPA to figure out your tax liability it is too complicated and rigged to the advantage of those who can afford to hire a CPA to figure their taxes. This applies to all income, and all entities, individuals, partnerships, corporations, churches, and everyone else. Real and personal property taxes also. Estate Tax on estates over $5,000,000.00

4. A strict limit on how much any real person (flesh and blood, living person of who is of legal age and registered to vote). If you are not a real person then you can not donate to any political campaign, PAC, or Political Party.

5. Term limits for all levels of elected government office, Federal, State, County, City.

6. Full public disclosure (name, amount) of all donations (Monetary or in-kind) made to Political Campaigns, PACs, Parties. Restrictions on how that money can be spent. A candidate can not use donated funds to pay personal expenses.

7. A return to the policy of equal air time for all candidates and parties on Television, Radio, or other media.

That should be a good start for getting the USA back on the right path and back to what our founding Fathers had in mind when they got this whole thing started.

IMHO
