Yes, I agree about raising rates, Personal Income Tax rates are at historical low levels.

Flat tax everybody pays, everybody. Collected before the check is cut. The income from corporate taxes seems low considering the profits big oil and big finance report.

Stop getting into forever wars, there's a Trillion or seven right there. Recognize when it's over when you do go to war.

Stop paying non contributors. If you've never paid into unemployment or SS then I guess you've never worked.

Fix whatever the hell is wrong with our health system, it's a bottomless pit of waste and expense. I had a hook "removed" it actually fell out while the tried to cut it, last Spring . Lidocane, tetnus shot out the door for 1500 dollars! Not even a bandaid.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
