With all the talk about who is going to be our next President, I thought I might share my own platform for President.

Part 3 - Foreign Policy

It's hard to imagine a country born out of war would be able to have peace for any given amount of time.  However, we live in a cruel world that somtimes requires force in order to proper. There are several things I would change:

  • No more aid to foreign countries while we have a deficit. The Bank of, Get Money from America is CLOSED!
  • No more lies: People have a need to validate war, but you can't. It's ugly and often times necessary. So if we have a definitive need and it serves the best interest of the country, then that is the reason you get.
  • We will no longer supply technology or weapons to the enemy of our enemy. We will do the job ourselves...see "No more lies" above.
  • We will not interfere with any country unless asked.

It's time to stop being the nice guy who is being taken advantage of. We cannot continue to help other countries that are in chaos at the expense of our own stability and prosperity.

Part 2 - Welfare System

Effective immediately, no able bodied person will get a free-ride, single Mother's included! We all make mistakes, and i understand that in this country it is so very diffuicult to make something of yourself (sarcasm).  However, if you are blessed enough to have sound mind and body, then the check you receive should come from working.

  • Eligibility will not be granted without legal documentation that the recipient has full parental custody/guardianship of a child.
  • Each receipient will be interviewed, given training and placed to work.
  • Checks will no longer be issued without submission of monthly timecards, utility bills, and rental/mortgage receipts.
  • Receipients will be randomly tested for drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
  • All food stamps will be replaced by WIC vouchers.
  • Bus & Rail passes will also be given to all receipients.
  • A yearly tax incentive will be given to recipients who currently have at least 1 child and voluntarily undergo sterilization.

This new program will naturally require an increase in staff and costs to regulate.  The costs and staff will be provided from within the program.  For example, those who are capable of becoming a day care provider will do so, and priority will be given to receipients needing child care, in order to attend these jobs. 

Other jobs such as teachers Aids will be filled. Imagine what benefit would come from having 2 or 3 assistants to every teacher! Our roads and parks would be immaculate, and graffiti would be a thing of the past!

Part 1 - Tax Policy:

I've worked hard my whole life to acheive what I feel is my own personal success. My first job (age 11)  was sweeping hair and cleaning windows for the barber down the street making $5.00 on a saturday. Anyone from the IRS reading this, I confess to you now,  that income was not reported.

  • Personal: Everyone would have a percentage based on a formula: Income(s) + Investment Profits - Education Expenses - 50% Utility Expenses = Taxable Income. 
  • Businesses: Profit = Taxable Income (Provision will be made to prevent companies from claiming higher losses than actual.)
  • Taxable Income x Flat Tax Rate of 22% = Taxes Owed
  • $5,000 Credit for each child
  • No Marriage Penalty
  • If you donate to Education, you can deduct every cent.
  • 25% of charitable donations, plus the satisfaction of helping someone.

Aside from a predetermined percentage of taxes going toward necessities such as education, safety, military, roads, parks, etc., each taxpayer will fill out a form that allows them to choose which social programs your taxes go to. 

Read my lips...no new taxes unless something happens that requires an increase, in which case it will be necessary so please vote for me even if i need to raise taxes but hope i won't because i want your vote!
