Here are my requirements in order to vote for a candidate in November

1. Term Limits. Send these folks home and let them get a job (if they can) after a couple of terms. Too many of the career politicians have never had a real job.

2. Balance the Budget.

3. Eliminate Congress’s Special Health Care & Retirement system (they can join the rest of us).

4. Adopt the Fair Tax (stop taxing earnings & wages, tax consumption).

5. Restore the Death Tax for estates greater than $10 million, Max 30%.

6. Stay out of State issues, as per the Constitution.

7. Eliminate Pork Barrel Spending.

8. Eliminate Revenue Sharing, Use Block grants at State level only or leave the money with the people to begin with.

9. Privatization of services, Governments do not need to build massive bureaucracies when the work can be done more economically by farming it out to private sources.

10. Adjust Government pay and pensions so that they do not exceed that of the average American worker.

11. Emphasize effective regulations. Not just more and more laws. We have enough laws but they are not enforced or exceptions are made for special interest groups.

12. Medicare is a great insurance program and I support it. But it should be needs based and the management of it should be farmed out to firms who know how to manage wastefully spending. The Feds have no experience in that regard.
