I want less government, more accountability, less taxes, and more freedom.

• Reduce the pay of congress to make it unprofitable.
• Require that every bill have a single line summary and every rider on the bill must relate to the summary directly. No pork addendums.
• Term limits for every elected office. I was on the fence, but I'm just tired of this blatant incumbent power.
• Eliminate the income tax.
• Make it easier to fire government employees. Set a real, audited public standard for evaluating work performance and award raises based on that.
• Audit the Fed. Then phase them out in favor of a commodity backed monetary standard.
• Amend the Constitution to require a balanced Federal budget every year. Penalize the pay and benefits of Congress and the President for every day the budget is late each year.
• Require that every regulation on the books have an associated dollar value and audit each year to confirm that we are not spending more to maintain a regulation than we believe it is actually worth to us.
• Require that any new regulation be contained to a specific industry. Regulations that must span multiple industries, being inherently more dangerous and prone to unintended consequences, should require congressional approval, as if it were a law being passed.
• Audit the familial relations of everyone in government and analyze the results for nepotism and other forms of favoritism. Make nepotism a termination-worthy offense in any government job, including an elected office.
• Legalize drug use. Tax commercially sold drugs. (personal note: I'm sick of seeing shining new prisons and dilapidated old schools)
• Change how we count the vote. Simple majority counts create two-party systems. Consider either a Condorcet method or the Borda system as an alternative. More parties equals more better.
• Change our immigration laws to make it easier to bring people into the country legally. We should be partnering with our neighbors, not fighting to keep them away.
• Create a cabinet level position called Secretary of Government Audit. Make them responsible for finding ways to reduce the size and cost of the government sensibly. Have a third party, like PWC, audit that office annually to see that they are saving more than they cost the people.
• Position ourselves as an economic powerhouse, rather than a military one. Foreign relations should be about free trade with countries that share our economic values not about bullying countries that don't share our moral values.
• Reduce or eliminate our military presence outside of our own borders. Concentrate miltary spending on protecting our borders (physically and virtually) from threat and make the Department of Defence live up to its name. It's not the Department of Offense.
• Formally apologize to Israel and Palestine for our interference. Then make good on that apology by stepping out of the conflict and adopting an overt, public, and real neutral stance on the border disputes of other countries.
• Establish a plan to eliminate the national debt within 10 years using cost cutting and budgeting methods. Perhaps make this one of the tasks on the plate of the new Secretary of Government Audit.
