OK, well I did, give you a link as a place to start, and I doubt that we would agree on much. But here goes:
Everybody should pay income tax. Lower class, middle class, upperclass and all in between. And, before you say it, I don't count payroll tax!
Cut government spending. While it is not the smart way, just cut every agency a percentage. A better way is to say the Federal budget must be cut by X% and force the agency to live within strict budgets. If you can't live with that just cut everything 10%. Everyone of the agencies will survive and thrive.
Cut duplicate programs. As pointed out in the article there are 27 different agencies/programs dealing with teen pregnancies. Certainly we can get by with 26!
Re-examine the entire roll of Federal government. Education is not a federal job. Unless you are one that can find just about anything in the constitution. For the first 200 years or so, education was the purview of local government, not even the state. The education bureaucracy continues to grow every year.
Cut out Federal subsidies. Yep, farm, air line, energy, wooden arrows, you name it, stop spending my and your money on it. I can live with my cow dying, and I'll bet you can live with it when yours does.
Curtailing Federal spending hurts only one group of people. POLITICIANS!
Your and my representatives and senators believe it is their duty to bring home the pork, and they are rewarded for it. Your fault and mine.
Do you really think that the Federal Government can't get by on last year's budget with no increase, not even for inflation? Do you really think the 850B is going to create jobs? Do you really think it has to be passed in the next 3 days when most of the money will not be spent for about 2 years? Do you really think the country can go on stealing from the rich to give to the not so rich?
Stop spending Federal Dollars on State projects. If Las Vegas wants a museum to Gamblers let them build it. Why did Texas dollars go to build the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in IL. Why did CA money go to build a theater in TX. If the states want stuff, let them tax and build it. The federal gov. has, IMHO, some specific duties. Protect the people. Promote Commerce. Regulate trade, and maybe a few other's I missed in government. IMO, all others are Politicians buying votes to remain in power. Roads and Bridges, tough question, but if they are in cities, the are State projects, If you want to designate the 'Federal Road System' OK, but it does not include roads that are obviously not interstate roads.
And, my taxable income was $13,300. So if yours was higher, then I will expect a check. Let me know and I'll send you the address.
