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.
