I'd eliminate all personal income taxes, in favor of a tax on consumption. So, sales taxes would replace taxes. Food, and property would be tax exempt. This would encourage savings and being frugal to a greater extent as currently you are taxed regardless of the items you buy.
As far as corporate taxes, would implement a flat 10% tax on sales revenue(not profit). The primary reason for this is the way multi-nationals hide their profits in foreign tax haven countries. Basicly they set up shop in a low tax country then sell at a very high price to the US subsidiary. It is virtually impossible for the IRS to rectify this because the compaies in question submit millions of invoices they process. So the IRS is almost powerless to properly tax them and it costs millions and little is collected when they do find something. The US based portion of the company then reports a loss or artificially low profit, while the Company based in the low tax country makes huge profits and pays much lower taxes. So, you would at least collect something from the big multinationals. I'd would be in favor of not charging taxes on corporation that have less than 500000 in revenue per year.
First day in office would pardon everyone in prison that was solely put their because of pot related offenses, and pardon all once a month until I was out of office or got the law changed.
Would push for a 100% mandatory video recording installed in police vehicles and GPS / speed monitoring of all law enforcement vehicles.
Would push for a mandatory paper trail be produced in every election. You vote you get a receipt and the polling place gets a receipt that can be compared to the recorded vote.
Would push for a return to the Gold standard and elimination of the central bank.
Would personally visit Iran, Syria, Pakistan, etc.. and try in earnest to work out some kind of permanent peace, and allow a eventual withdrawal from the middle east while securing oil for at least a 15 year period. If not possible then, would hold Iraq, but it wouldn't be pretty.
If could work that out, would start closing bases all over the world, shut the border down. Give a one year period in which all illegals must either register in the U.S. for permission to remain on a temporary worker basis, or return to their homeland where they would be expected to submit a application for permission to enter and work in the country. After the one year period and the streamlined entry process was established would be punishable by 3 month imprisonment at a work camp for violators after which you would be dropped back off in your home country were you could legally apply without any bias placed against you. Second offense 1 year in work camp, permanent revocation of entry rights. Third offense 5 years in work camp. You'd have to be stupid or a criminal not to fill out the paper work.
Would total overhaul the disability policy this country uses. I've seen so many people on disability that could work at 100's of jobs without harming their disability it's ridiculous. Sorry, no free rides, or very few.
Would begin to withdraw most if not all foreign aid, to me it's the choice of the individual citizen as to who their tax dollars support, charity would be encouraged but would no longer be mandatory.
Would add a special tax on all conventional vehicles and gas to finance grants for alternative energy research or installations.
I could write a book, so will just stop there. LOL.
