Let me work on that one too!

Let me see, disband in its current form and policy and develop a means to create a national flat rate sales tax.



Don't have all the answers- it's complicated!
I would be interested in seeing your ideas on taxation. Most of the candidates have a couple of good ideas but don't stand the acid test in totality.

Also:

You have some good ideas, and would make the government run better. But is that enough to get you elected in today's digital world? IMO, if you are going to run against the establishment you will need a couple of bold ideas that differentiate you from the herd. Otherwise you just splinter the republican party. As a third party candidate you will need to peel votes from both sides.

I read somewhere that the average smart phone user has an attention span of less than 30 seconds when reading articles.

For example. If you want to sell a stronger immigration policy, get the fence and all that, offer a path of citizenship to the illegals who have already made it in. I know it wouldn't taste good going down, but common sense says we are never going to deport 20 million people. Why not use that to get the attention and a huge voting block behind you?


I'm going to go have a couple of libations while you guys fire for effect.
