RE: Platform - Contract II
or how to loose elections by telling the truth and dealing with
reality...
1.) Medical payments are at a fixed amount which can be used for
premiums (all or part) for insurance (private) or HMO. If
Medicare is $6500 that is the amount, no more open check book
Under fee for practice, the more you spend the more you get, this
turn it around - We can use assigned risk for the high cost
patients.
2.) All benefits (direct or indirect - taxes or subsidies) are
taxed at 1% starting at the median level of income and the rate
rises 1.2% over the median (gross adjusted income) for each 1% so
that the top 1% have a 100% tax on benefits, including the real
estate tax benefits, social security, federal military and civil
retirement, VA, and farms etc.
3.)
The IRS is replaced by a VAT. (value added tax no tax on
income, investment or savings - tax what you want less of (debt)
and don't tax what you do want more of (work saving and
investment) - Freeman)
4.) All direct state services are receivable from any certified
provider. Education, mail, fire protection, inspection, trash,
can be provided by any government or private server. Assigned
schools is a violation of law. (charter schools, charter trash,
charter mail, (from P.O.), charter phone, charter cable...
Charter Welfare on fixed price - say 100,000 per household -
that's it no more - less is profit or to more difficult cases -
treat welfare like health care, so much no more - no open ended
entitlement.
5.) Any legislative expenditure or regulation or administrative
instruction has line item veto - cut the micro-management by
committee chairmen.
6.) Constitution convention to reorganize federal powers, many
fewer elections and integration of executive and legislative
functions (parliamentary system and portion representation like
the German Federal Republic as a model - a constitution American
Political Scholars help write -) Responsible political parties
where the franchise belongs to the level of the election.
The
right to be a democrat or republican is controlled by the
national party for national elections (congress and president)
with laws about qualifications, so not everyone can run as
anything and do anything once elected. Some rules of agency.
7.) Regional Government - everything that can be must be
administered by the Federal Regional Councils representing about
10 % of the population. Federal regions take over everything in
the domestic area except disaster relief, revenue equalization,
taxes, interstate commerce, Federal reserve, etc. that must be
federal (as enumerated powers in the original constitution ).
8.)If we do 1 - 8 the problem of money in politics is reduced and
silly attempts to control election expenditure is also reduced.
Official Campaigns can be limited to one month (or two weeks)
which will help. If we have responsible political parties
primaries can be reduced. Elected representives are members of
organized political units not all independent business people.
9.) Limit all direct public expenditure to 25% of the GNP, with
5% depression fudge factor.
10.) Allow for private taxing district at the federal and state
level outside the limits. You want it pay for it principle.
Remove all federal drug and most crime laws ( A state and local
matter )
Therefore getting rid of almost all the of the DEA, FBI,
ATF, and other federal cops. Stick to the basics.
