If you were a candidate for President what would your platform be?

Question

I would give the country a flat tax first of all and abolish the IRS

next I would close down every obsolete goverment agency like the Rural Electrification, we dont kneed it anymore and lots of others like it.

Next I would pass legistaltion that sends Congress home 6 months out of the year. We need a part time congress.

I would penalize employers who hire illeagal aliens and encourage people to go home and apply for citizenship like everybody else.

Next I would push to overturn Roe v. Wade and push it back to the states to decide.

I would give Iraq till the end of the year to show significant progress of taking care of their own security otherwise we need to cut ties and let the civil war commense. this would include round the clock saturation bombing of Iran's nuclear program.

Answer 1

pdaddy, i really like your platform. although just a couple of adjustments. a flat tax is great, but i would still be paying .44 on every dollar i made, sorry. a national sales tax is my answer. rich people buy more, pay more, poor people spend what they can, pay less, middle class continues to make ends meet, but irs is gone. probably saves billions of tax dollars either way. congress does seem useless nowdays because they spend more time fighting than actually trying to help. 6 months is good.no beef with immigration, good policy. roe vs. wade your on your own, i will not make these decisions for women or mothers to be. its still all good. you might be the first person to realize that iran is the real threat, thank you. but maybe we are just hanging out in iraq until its time to confront iraq? great platform, who are you and when are you going to run?

Answer 2

I would abolish all taxes and drastically decrease the amount our elected leaders receive as compensation, including benefits.
Congress would work 10 months out of the year, they'll need that extra time to go through all the law books and clear out all the old laws that no longer apply. This would also include the states (Georgia doesn't need an 'it is illegal to tie a giraffe to a light pole' law)
I would make it mandatory for those using the welfare system to use birth control.
If no child is to be left behind, then teachers would be allowed to knock some sense into them.
I would arm and encourage the Iraqi military to address their concerns about terrorists with Iran and Syria.

*Disarm Iran, by force if need be.
*Work harder to train the Iraqi gov't and army
*Build a wall with Mexico and severely fine employers of illegal aliens
*Legalize various drugs and collect revenue from them

*Get rid of the Federal Reserve and start going back to the Gold Standard again.
