I have a better plan:
1) No tax: whatever happened to No Taxation without Representation...this country was founded to avoid taxes, lets get them the hell out of the picture and reduce government size substantially.
2) Agree, but with a much stronger aim. No more FCC, no more board of Ed, etc...etc... . Federal Government should be the President, Congress, and Supreme court, nothing else.
3) Agree, bring troops home. The army should be domestic defense only. Never should leave our borders on an offensive front, ever.
4) Agree, we can worry about international issues when all of our domestic problems are solved. So probably never. Saves money at least.
5) disagree, schooling should not be funded by the government. Waste of money because if you look at our public school system it apparently does not work at all because we just keep producing dumb shits. We preach abstinance in schools, but when have you ever taken a class in high school that teaches you about things you will use in real life like retirement funds, balancing a check book, and so on.
6) Agree, but take it a step further. No drugs should EVER be a criminal issue, always a medical. You should never be fined or arrested for the actual drug (what you do on said drug is a different story, like drunk driving). Lesser drugs like Marijuana, would basically be free range like cigarettes are. Meth would be confiscated and you would be sent to a rehab facility instead of a jail or prison.
7) Agree, the only thing illegal about prostitution is the exchange of money. If two people meet on a street and hook up and don't exchange money then it is totally legal. Weird eh? (yes i know jesse ventura said this, but it is a totally valid argument)
8) Lower the drinking age to 16. You want people to know how alcohol is going to affect them before they can drive not after. Driving is simple, but alcohol and levels of intoxication are very very different. Let the kids get wasted at 16, get it out of their system by 18, and we are good to go.
9) No and no. The main problem with healthcare in this country is that the pharmaceutical companies have their hands in the government lobbies. Remove all regulation and suddenly this magical thing called competition shows up, forcing price wars. Awesome
