Corruption, I would wage a massive and uncompromising war on the corruption.

I would charge and imprison every single one who was guilty, and every cent of their assets would be seized.

Agreed, i would do the same.

I would abolish the federal reserve, and give back the right to issue currency to a new, non-corrupt and ACCOUNTABLE government.

I agree with the national reserve part. As for the new, non-corrupt government, you will need to be more specific. New how? New elections? Do you propose somthing besides a democracy? If new elections, how do you propose we ensure the new government is not corrupt as well? Not sure you have that one thought out.

I would then forgive all debt.

As I result I would then be able to abolish income tax.

Not sure how you will manage this. Lets say you abolish all debt. Do you propose the USA defaults on its obligations to pay back the massive amounts of money you have borrowed so you can spend criminally on a huge military and advance your own agenda worldwide? I would hope the world would turn against you for such an action, at it would certainly be criminal on the highest level. Countries around the world have bought your debt on the understanding they would be repaid. This idea makes me sick.

I think your also under the assumtion that income tax goes 100% towards paying the national debt. It does not. If you plan to remove it entirely, i would suggest you will have to find other ways to pay for certain programs and infrastructure.

I would do all this by executive order if necessary.

I would then abolish so-called democracy and reinstate the republic.

I would instigate a law of total transparency and accountabliity.

I would dismantle the large banks and corporations into smaller, controllable, accountable units.

All Congress would have their private bank accounts scrutinised annually.

Any member found guilty of enriching themselves through their position would never, ever be able to hold a position of responsibility within the public sector again.

The media would be freed of outside influence and would be able to investigate and report honestly.

I would change the education system to make it something valuable. It would include education on human values and practical information, such as how money works, money management, etc.

I would make it one of the most serious crimes imaginable for a member of the government to act against the wishes and well being of the people.

I can agree with all of this. Im not sure about the republic idea, and as a Canadian it really isnt my concern and im not sure how you would enforce transparancy, but the bulk of that i agree with.

Here are a few ideas.


Eliminate the income tax and replace it with a tax that charges business activities for federal oversight, that allows them to conduct business in the U.S.. The national debt and associated interest payments will be paid for exclusively by businesses that conduct international and interstate business.

Drug companies and food companies would pay for the FDA, when the goods they produced cross state and national borders, as they should. If we are going to have any drug laws, and laws that control food, then the companies who conduct commerce in these areas should pay the cost of regulation. Companies that engage in industries that use or produce large amounts of toxic poisons, all of which inevitably, at least potentially, cross state borders, they will pay for the EPA. Law firms will pay for the judiciary, and so forth.

Reinstate usury laws, putting a maximum interest rate at 15%, and develop strict national policies for credit rating. Banks will be greatly reduced in what they can charge as fees. The amount that banks pay in interest to savings accounts will be directly proportional to interest charged on loans.

Capital gains from investments held shorter than 30 days would be charged at the same rate as gambling income.

There will be a federal agency created to combat fraud, and it will be paid for by the finance industry.

All U.S. military operations overseas will be paid for by taxes levied on imports and exports.

Drug use will be legalized and taxed, and the sin taxes used for rehabilitation, poverty relief, and medical costs associated with usage of these types of products.

Welfare moneyed payments are not to exceed one year, after that the government will provide shelter, where participants will have to contribute to all maintenance and up keep in order to stay in the program. The people still in need of assistance will be given training suitable to their capabilities. All participants will always have the right to leave this program at any time. Any and all work done by the people in the programs set up, will go back into these welfare programs.

People who hire illegal immigrants will be prosecuted and heavily fined. Our borders will be properly secured, and illegal immigrants will be sent home, where hopefully they can take what money they have earned in the U.S., and what skills, and build a decent life in their countries of origin.

Immigration will be reduced until employment rises to a set level. Future immigration will be set in relation to employment statistics.

Our trade treaties will be renegotiated with those countries who have failed to raise environmental and labor standards, and wages. Import taxes will be levied in proportion to ongoing violations. Our working public is not going to be forced to compete with third world nation slave labor.

Transportation taxes will be used strictly for transportation. No state will receive more than the share they contribute to the federal government, as per the U.S. constitution.

National education standards will be paid for by the people. Required learning for associated degrees will be standardized, and those who choose to educate themselves outside of a institution will be given credit for all met criteria, and the degrees earned through tests offered nationwide.

Idle commercial and industrial property will be taxed at higher and higher levels, until sold or auctioned to the highest bidder. Former owners, will be charged for all clean up from any toxic wastes left on those properties. Those costs not recovered will be covered by the industry associated with the property and the type of waste.

People would be given tax free savings accounts for medical expenses. Young people will be covered at reasonable levels until their savings reach a point where they are able to pay their medical costs. Cost for medical treatment will be given up front, and gouging will be punished.

We will revamp our transportation system and national energy plan to deal with looming drop in world wide oil production and projected increase in world wide energy demand.

Just plan, but the important thing is to implement
