<p>joev- great idea but you could only serve it with (right) wings.</p>
<p>Get the US out of the UN
Encourage Norway to never join the EU
End every government subsized agency created after 1900
(including the alphabet soups, NAS, NASA, FBI, FEMA, etc etc)
Increase manpower and funding of USSS
End government subsidizing science, education, research, art, poetry, housing, agriculture etc
Institute a 15% flat tax for incomes over $25,000

Obviously, simplify the tax code
Deregulate industry, environment, trade, economy, transportation, food, etc etc
End pork barrel spending

End idiotic wars like the Iraq mess (and attack actual threats like Iran)
End campaign finance regulation
Veto every bill that smacks of socialized medicine (known to some as ‘universal healthcare’)
Get religion out of government (i.e. no more Supreme Court or state regulations on abortion-legalize it totally)
Legalize all drugs, including hard drugs
Repeal the 1934, 1968, 1994 gun control laws totally
Dismantle the DMV and hand it over to private driving instruction companies
Privatise rivers, roads, mail, dams, and the like (and NASA)
Spit on the Kyoto Protocol and the Geneva convention, and start using hollow point ammunition in wars</p>
<p>you get the drift…</p>
<p>Goodbrew - you are DAMN close. Keep up the good work.</p>
<p>Increase scientific research funding
Increase funding for public schools, focusing on math and science
Eliminate racial AA, and put in place socioeconomic AA
Eliminate possession laws (in small amounts except heroin, cocaine, crack), keep distribution laws
institute a progressive tax similar to now but tax the rich up to 50% (god forbid someone making $10 million can only take home $5 million)
Increase funding for before and after school programs
Figure out Iraq (its a mess but we cant just pull out. we caused this **** and we cant just leave the country to anarchy)
Focus upon Afghanistan and finding Osama Bin Laden
Limit ■■■■■■■■ spending (The Bridge to Nowhere, etc)
Stop any measures to illegalize government recognized gay marriage</p>
<p>Ill think of more</p>
<p>50%?! Enjoy your country becoming a zero - a nothing. No business would bother operating here. The Waltons? Bill Gates? 50% would make them move right anywhere else. The U.S. would become a third world country overnight.</p>
<p>It was 38-44% when Clinton was president. I didnt see any of them move then.</p>
<p>Hell, it was at 50% when Reagan was president…You didnt see them moving then either.</p>
<p>You are barking up the wrong tree mate (neverborn). This thread isn’t exactly populated by chaps who have common sense.</p>
<p>whoever said joining the kyoto protocol would cause the economy to collapse perhaps has not considered the possibility that not joining it may very well cause the entire globe to collapse?</p>
<p>Pollution credits to China and more insane restrictions on our factories, how is that good for us? Get out of here jobs, we don’t want you!</p>
<p>Common sense is all in the eye of the beholder.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>“common sense” is, by definition, common to all; it is what the term refers to, as opposed to say, “genius” or “maverick,” wherein the sense in question may well be in the “eye of the beholder” as opposed to the vision of the common-man.</p>
<p>Its simple really.</p>
<p>Since there is little common ground in thinking about this president, it seems that my “common sense” and your “common sense” wouldn’t have all that much in common, now would it?</p>
<p>In your defense, Tom Paine made the same mistake-- according to J. Adams, anyhow.</p>
<p>
Then it isn’t “common”, is it? It is mere opinion, putting on airs and masquerading as common sense.
You can put make-up on a pig, but, in the end, it is still a pig–with make-up.</p>
<p>Reagan slashed 50% to 28%, and then Clinton increased it. </p>
<p>Did you neglect to mention what happened with taxes at 50%? It was called ‘stagflation’ - a combination of both unemployment AND inflation - the now-debunked Keynesian economic policies that held a grip on those in charge at the time had no remedy for a situation with BOTH.</p>
<p>50% was an arbitrary number. I would increase the taxes to the greatest point that still allows for a healthy economy.</p>
<p>better?</p>
<p>No. Not at all. Stealing based on wealth level is wrong.</p>
<p>how is taxation stealing?</p>
<p>If I don’t pay taxes, what happens?</p>
<p>Then government sanctioned criminals come and **** you over.</p>
<p>The government takes back the money it printed for you? :)</p>
