Rant on a Cut Throat Saving Agenda for America
I'm about to pull my hair out. During the 2008 election cycle I built this site with the intention of uniting the Republican party. Knowing that I was very conservative and the party had become very liberal. Not, that I'm a die hard Republican, I only became one so I could vote in the primaries. Personally, I think the 2 party system stinks. People should just vote for who they think will do the best job and who will stick the closest to the constitution. I saw Romney as a guiding light, because I knew he was one who really could reach across the isles and clean up Washington. He could see the problems and had the know how to solve our biggest issue- the economy. I'm praying the Romney runs again in 2012 and that he'll have the power of a united Republican Congress behind him (2010 elections) so we can actually get some things done. I would stand by Romney's platform which would include cutting spending, lowering taxes and sticking to the constitution. I wouldn't want to run for Public office, but if I did, I would love to see a cut throat agenda like the following:
-
- Abolish the IRS in institute a 10% FLAT TAX. (This tax would be our only federal tax, no SS, no Medicare, no anything else) Everyone pays 10% no matter your income level. Makes it easy. Imagine the time savings during tax season.
- Cut spending in 1/2 until the debt is paid off. I can think of plenty of unconstitutional agencies like the EPA that can be completely absolved. Most are unconstitutional anyway. The EPA wasn't even an act of congress, it was established by Nixon via an executive order, completely against the first article, section 1 of the Constitution.
- Abolish Social Security as we know it. Pay everyone, every cent they have paid into social security plus 6% interest and mandate that the money is put into personal retirement accounts.
- Get the Government out of Health Care and remove regulations. Establish health care clinics for the poor/ incapacitated in every major city where care can be given, but it's not comfortable. People need incentive to work hard for better opportunity.
- Abolish the Federal Welfare programs. What ever happened to local communities and churches taking care of their own? American's need to be able to do this for both moral and physical obligations. It's good for us to care for our own poor, not for the government to do it for us through a gigantic ever hungry bureaucracy.
- Get the government out of Education. Let the States handle what is rightfully ours.
- Get the US out of the UN. We don't need to be funding millions/people to an agency that threatens our very sovereignty. Incidently, Ron Paul just proposed this bill /bss/|">H.R.1146 : To end membership of the United States in the United Nations.
- Abolish the Federal Reserve and return to the common sense economic principles of free markets and dollars backed by items of intrinsic value such as gold or silver.
- Allow offshore drilling, drilling in ANWR, and the Shale of Rocky Mountains ........Imagine the jobs and money it could create!!!!!!!!! No more imported oil.
Anyway, I could probably go on, but my rant would drive me to my grave. One of my only insanity blockers is that of knowing that literally thousands of you are feeling the same things. I've met some wonderful, brilliant and very helpful people all across the country through this site. So, Thank you America for listening.






I am with you for many of the suggestions made. But a few doubts. How would it be fair to just tax the very rich 10%? Then again why do we want them to be taxed more? Is it their fault that they earn well? No oil import sounds excellent. Will get rid of a lot of unnecessary politics with the middle east. I have never approved of the government making decisions with regard to education. But welfare I am sorry I don’t agree with you. For the simple reason that maybe the community itself might be poor!
