If You were voted into office...

Obama Wins another 4 years

That is the news for today 11/7/2012.

I have a confession to make... I didn't vote for Obama. To be honest I didn't really want to vote at all. As I have found over the years that no mater who is in office there is almost always empty promises or things that never get fixed or promises that never are followed through.

So for the past few elections I have posed this senior and question that I wanted to share with everyone. I also wanted to get your feed back as well.

If you were President (King) for a day (24 hours), and you could change any laws or anything. And everything you decided went in to affect immediately and no one could stop it; what would you do?

Okay, so with that question being posted this is what I would do if I were president for a day.
***Warning all things that I state below are of my own opinion and may hurt your beliefs and feelings, so don't get upset, Or maybe you should leave this page now.***

• I would repurpose the IRS and change the tax system completely to a Flat tax. (If you have read the Fair Tax Act you will understand what I am proposing here and why.)
• The tax would be a flat 10% not higher
• No income tax, no capital gains tax, no death tax...etc. Only tax on new purchased items.
• Taxes would be levied higher and heavy on all import products.
• Company's that export business out side the US to manufacture a product to sell in the US would be forced to pay the high Import taxes.

• If a politician receives funding from outside sourced they will not be allow to continue running in the campaign and all remaining funds will be returned to the pool and or paid back.
• They would get all the benefits like the military get like tri-care insurance and once their term was up they can elect to keep it and pay out of pocket for it or loose it. (so once they leave that all ends)

If the teacher feels that student is failing to learn, that student will be held back and/or attend summer school)
• Electric companies will not be able to raise rates and add additional fees with out a public vote. (The ballot will be written in clear simple English)
• Red light camera's will ONLY be used for traffic purposes NOT for collecting funds for the cities they are placed in.

This list goes on an on but I will stop here for now and clarify the reasoning behind most all things that I have listed.

One of the big ones for me is the Tax thing. Everyone pays the tax in one form or another. But it is obvious that not all people pay the same. I understand the need for government and the need for government funding. So that's why I didn't totally get rid of it. I did make it an even playing field no mater if you are a minimum wage person or a billionaire. Everyone would be paying the same rate.

Lets look at a few examples shall we. I know that most all voters believe that the rich should be taxed more and that people think they are the problem. I would say that people that think like this need to look at the broader picture. Ask your self these questions:

1. Have you ever got a job from a Poor man? (long term, longer then one year)
2. Have you ever had the money to donate to research, or humanitarian projects?
3. Has a poor person ever owned a business? that lasted longer then a year? If so, how many employees were on the pay roll? And where is that business now?
...

I really don't know of any poor people that can afford a million dollar home, car, boat, yacht, vacations... and so on. All of these things would be taxed the average person doesn't buy a new car every year or six months just to have a new car. Or buy a $10,000 watch or expensive jewelry. 

I think I made my point here. If not you can comment an I will elaborate or answer any questions you have. (But before you do, read the fair tax act book first)

So now you may be wondering, 'well, how is the government going to survive with only 10%?'... Well this is were the government will be doing its job to make it survive with the limited funds it does have. We all agree that the government wastes a ton of money every quarter and doesn't stop growing in dept but instead of stop the bleeding of money they gain more debt and/or raise taxes or come up with a new tax system or law. By me reducing the amount that they are allowed will force them to thinks smarter and work for their money.

One major reason I stated that the politicians will only make no more the $100k per year with not pension or benefits after is because a lot of money is being spent right there every month for politicians that are currently there and for those that were in office. This will also place them on the same playing level as all the rest of their populous like those that have voted them in to begin with.

I think this is a good stopping point for now. So if you would please give a response below that would be greatly appreciated. I will review and add more to this topic as I am very well aware that I need to explain more on the things I have listed above. Granted the list is very short.

Till next time. Have a great day.
