Okay boys, all this talk about my running for President has convinced me it's time for a Platform.
How's this for starters: 1. Right to Keep and Bear Arms - What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand? 2. War on Terror - You started it. We'll make you wish you hadn't. 3. Illegal Immigration - What part of "illegal" do you not understand. Round 'em up and ship 'em out. 4. High Energy Prices - Don't like the prices? Don't buy it. 5. Machine Guns - What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand? 6. Anwar Drilling - Let Alaska decide. It's their land. 7. Oil Drilling Off California Coast - Don't want us to drill? No problem. No oil from anywhere else to California. 8. United Nations - You've got one week to get out. Building will become the National Firearms Museum and DCM Outlet Mall. 9. Foreign Aid - Don't make me laugh. 10. Director of Civilian Marksmanship - Budget increased by 1000%. If a rifle isn't presently used by the military, it's for sale, cheap. 11. National Shooting Range - To be built behind the White House so I've got a place to shoot the Box O' Truth. How about it fellows? Got any other ideas?  (Edited to fix #8)  |

8. United Nations - You've got one week to get out. Wrecking ball goes through the building next week. Why ruin a perfectly good building? How about the new national firearms museum (and gift shop)? |

Sounds great unti the press starts asking you the tough questions:
How would you have responded to Hurrican Katrina? (softball) What's your plan to ensure the solvency of Social Security? (hardball) And finally, the questions that will fracture your base: What's better an AR-15 or an AK-47? What .308 battle rifle is the best? Glock or 1911? |

I fully support a flat tax rate system. If everyone had to pay taxes, everyone would be against tax increases. If you don't pay, you don't care. |

You want protection from disaster? Buy insurance.
Congress will no longer be allowed to "borrow" from social security. The money would be invested in mutual funds. And, if you didn't pay into it (like illegal immigrants), you can't draw out of it.
Get both.
Get both. In fact, get several of both. That's what I did.

Don't know yet what the rate might be, but 5% might be it. Eliminate foreign aid. Eliminate unnecessary agencies such as Department of Education (a state problem), BATF (don't make me laugh), Environmental Protection Agency (a state problem), Department of Housing and Urban Development ( States want development? Pay for it yourself), etc, etc, etc. Scale down the Federal Gooberment by about 85%. It would cost a lot less. |

That said, I'd be for the preservation of federally owned public land (I saw that you'd mentioned auctioning it). If it weren't for national forests, we'd have pretty much nowhere to go for our fishing, camping, shooting, hiking, biking, etc. needs. What say ye, OP? |

The bad thing about a Flat Tax is that it doesn't help with the problem of FICA/Payroll taxes, capital gains taxes, corportate taxes, or any of the other taxes that punishes hard work and strangles the economy.
The FairTax is much, much better.

Actually, I wouldn't auction it. I'd give it back to the states to do with as they desire. The citizens want campgrounds? Great! The states can build some. Except for a very few National Parks, the states ought to own the land and control it as their citizens desire. Many Federal Parks do not allow you to "go shooting". In my adminsitartion, it would be up to the states. The Founding Fathers would roll over in their graves if they knew how much land the Federal Gooberment "owns". The Federal Gooberment shouldn't "own" land. The land belongs to the states and the people. Not the Federal Gooberment. |

ETA Government owning land causes land, timber, mineral prices to be artificially high because it reduces the amount of developmental/logable/mineable land. |

The biggest problem that a Flat Tax would solve is that everyone would pay taxes. The best way to make all citizens hate taxes is to make them all pay some. If everyone paid a flat tax, then a guy making $10,000 a year would pay $500 (if the rate was 5%). A guy making $100,000 would pay $5,000. Everyone would "feel the pain" of paying taxes. Nowadays, if the Feds want to increase taxes, the guy making $10,000 says, "What do I care? I don't pay any taxes." He'd care under a flat tax. Free citizens need to hate taxes. |
