My Plan to fix this country

Hey Y'all,

Let a good ole boy tell y'all how to fix this extremely messed up economy that we are faced with in this great nation. We can also fix the other problems in this same conversation such as illegal immigration and political corruption.

First, on the economy. Lets completely abolish the income tax laws in this country. They are a hassle and cost more than they do any good. The IRS only collects on about every 1.2 out of 2 debts that it is owed. Instead lets create a national income tax at 10%. Instead of wasted tax dollars on an enforcement bureau that is only about half effective what we will have is more revenue generated by sales.

Second, tax all imports at 75%. The United States is one of the largest consumer of imported goods worldwide so if we were to tax all imports at that high of a rate it would force corporations to build companies and factories here thus putting Americans back to work. On the same note give tax breaks to corporations that do build factories here thus creating jobs and revenue to run the day to day operations of the government such as the military and other necessary government agencies.

Third, lets cut all of these extra agencies and departments of the Federal Government. I think we can agree that we don't need a Department of Education. That should be left to the states. I'm sure you can think of your own excessive agency list so I won't dwell on this for long.

Fourth, I am of the opinion that a politician should not be able to profit from laws passed. If a bill or a law is passed it should be passed for the good of the country not to make somebody's wallet fatter.

Fifth, If something is illegal then it is illegal. If a law is on the books then the law should be enforced. If you cross the border illegally and stay in this country for 20 years then for the last 20 years you have led a life of crime. Amnesty is a political move nothing more nothing less. Illegal is illegal. I think you should be deported immediately and you may return with a visa, passport, or other legal paperwork. The politically correct circus is really starting to annoy me to the point of insanity. Call it as it is not as you think it should be so as not to offend people.

Sixth, I believe in the Constitution. The 10 original Bill of Rights and the 17 added Amendments afterwards are all lawful and serve as a legally binding contract between an individual and his (or her) government in Washington. Thomas Jefferson once shot a man on the White House lawn for treason. I wonder what he would do to these liberals who are wanting to circumvent that sacred document?

Seventh, The Federal Reserve has operated illegally since 1913. It's contract was supposed to be up in 1930 and low and behold here comes Black Friday in 1929. We have been using counterfeit money since 1913 being as this agency is Constitutionally forbidden.

Eighth, We should put a cap on Welfare and Food Stamps at 5 years for a lifetime. If you refuse to work and choose to deal in illegal narcotics and soak up federal entitlements then by all means go for it. Five years from the day you start collecting you will be on your own. Food Stamps, Welfare, Section 8, TANF, and whatever else people get other then disability and social security after age 62 should be capped and cut out.

This is a eight point plan that you will never see on any agenda of anyone with political affiliation. These are the politically incorrect things that are taboo to even consider in meaningless smalltalk on Capitol Hill.

I would like to see these things done and watch this country get turned around.
