Issue Position: The Solution

Issue Position

In a nutshell, this is what I want to do --

Lower corporate tax rates to zero. If not, lower U.S. manufacturing profits to zero. Read this. Why? See below.

Help companies manufacture here rather than in China. Why? See below.

Temporarily void a company's liability and Workers Compensation insurance if they hire illegals. That will stop the hiring of illegals dead in its tracks as companies will be afraid of being sued by their legitimate employees if they need to make a claim. You don't need an ineffective wall. If illegal immigrants can't work, they won't come here. See below

Stop the massive overspending by voiding congressional pensions if they don't quit. We need new flexible congresspeople in office; not old hacks to fix our financial problems. See below.

Fix campaign finance so that the election system is fair. It isn't. Why and how? See below.

Help people get off of Social Security Disability Income (SSDI). Why? See below.

Reward success, not failure.

Lower the corporate tax rates to zero so that foreign businesses come here, and U.S. corporations will bring their over $1 trillion back from overseas. We need to become a tax haven for overseas businesses, not punish them.

If not zero, then zero from manufacturing in the United States. Our wealth originates in manufacturing. If companies know that they won't pay taxes on profits from manufacturing here, they will open new factories and we'll all prosper. This will create millions of jobs. Read this.

Provide significant incentives to manufacture, and operate more businesses here and not China. If we pass a single bill that I'll propose and it's signed into law, trillions of foreign business dollars will flow here as we'll become the world's number one business tax haven.

That money will be put to work creating new U.S. based businesses, building new factories and employing millions of Americans with new, well paid jobs. You don't need to legislate higher hourly earnings. When we have employers begging for people to work for them, pay will increase. It's simple economics.

The loss of corporate tax revenue will easily be offset by new income tax revenue, and the surplus can be used to start paying down the national debt. Washington will try to spend the surplus. I will do my best to stop that.

If employers risk losing their liability insurance and Workers Compensation insurance, even for a while, they will be terrified of being sued. That fear will stop them from "accidentally" hiring illegal immigrants. It's simple, and it will work.

Stop the massive overspending and force the incumbent Senators and Representatives out after eight years, four terms for Representatives or two terms (12 years) for Senators. Eight years is plenty, not thirty-eight years.

How? By stopping them accumulating funds between campaigns and cancelling their pensions if they don't leave after eight or twelve years.

A new congressman or woman will have eight years in office before losing a small pension if he or she insists on running again. An established politician with more than eight years will lose it if he runs again. So if a congressman has been in office for 20 years, he'll likely leave as his pension will be huge and forfeited if he registers to run again. That's what I want. They have to go.

You don't need a Term Limits Amendment; just hit federal incumbents where it hurts them most… in their wallets. How will it be enacted? Adding riders to must pass spending bills, and then have the public lobby Washington. Remember SOPA and PIPA? The power of the people stopped them from being passed.

I will propose a bill to block campaign donations in non-election years so that, in particular, special interests can't continue to pay-to-influence lawmakers every day that they are in office.

I will also propose blocking refundable candidate loans to his or her campaign. Why? Because a wealthy candidate can buy an election by just loaning himself $5 million and deposit it into his campaign account. That will scare off other challengers who can't possibly match these funds. The wealthy candidate then takes the money back in full after being elected, and his supporters will have paid his way. If you don't believe it, read this.

I will propose that once money is deposited or donated into a campaign account, after each election, all of those monies must be transferred to the FEC and donated to the top 50 charities, including supporting our wounded veterans. They went to war on our government's behalf and bravely risked their lives; the same government that has now forgotten them.

Each candidate or electee will have zero funds in his or her committee account. That will level the playing field, and stop the massive accumulations between elections.

I will propose a bill to publicly fund two post office mailings to voters during each federal election, one a month before the election (primary and/or general) and the second a week before.

Why? Because the largest issue that a challenger has is exposure. It's very expensive to contact voters, so many voters don't even know that the challenger exists.

My bill will authorize two letters, each with a paragraph from each candidate and incumbent in a contested race, and web site addresses that will encourage voters to research each candidate's ideas and platform. It will help to level the playing field.

I will sponsor a bill to remove the word Incumbent against a candidate's name from ballots. Why? Because this is a subtle way to tell the voter who to vote for. It's wrong and I to need to level the playing field. Every little bit helps.

The truth is I think that many voters enter the voting booth not knowing which of the candidates to vote for, in many of the races. They vote for familiar names, or names they like! The use of the word Incumbent gently nudges the voter to vote for the person in power.

Incumbents have all the advantages. They build huge donation war-chests with much of the money donated by special interests. They are known as they have access to the media. And they can tout their voting records, which true or false nobody checks.

Incumbents and special interests will oppose this since it will interrupt their cozy relationships. It needs interrupting.

We must stop our government's spending binge. Our government takes in only 60% of what it spends. It's like living on credit cards which that will lead to disaster. Our national debt is increasing by over $40,000 a second!

Help people get off of SSDI, Social Security Disability Income. By 2020, about 16 million Americans will be collecting about $18 billion a year from SSDI! The key problem with this program is that there isn't any provision for not getting a monthly check from the taxpayers! Once you get a check, it's yours forever as the government does not review accounts!

Even more astounding, by the year 2020 the equivalent of these entire state populations will be on SSDI -- Nebraska, West Virginia, Idaho, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, DC, Vermont and Wyoming! That's every man, woman and child. This is a disaster in the making.

I want to help the people who want to work, without cutting off 100% of the benefit. I want to phase it out; the more money they make, the less SSDI they receive. I want to create an incentive not to be disabled, but to be productive and become a taxpayer.

Reward success, not failure.

If elected, I will rock the boat and solve problems.
