That's right - I know this may seem a little late in the game - and completely unforseen by others, but I am hereby announcing my candidacy for President of the United States.
Let me begin by outlaying my 8 point plain towards progress, job growth, population decrease, etc.
1. On my first day in office I will effectively lift all speed limits on federal interstates. State, county, and city roadways will remain at present levels as set by those jurisdictions.
2. All drugs will be legalized. Everything. If you want it in your body and that thing can go into it - then by all means put it in if you wish. That goes for all prescription drugs too, which will be a misnomer at this point because everything will be available over the counter. They will be taxed on a schedule based off of whatever schedule the DEA has them scheduled at. 40% tax on Sched. 4, 30% on Sched 3, etc.
3. Prostitution will be fully legalized. If you can make money at it, go for it. I want to tax it at 10% though. And you must apply for your license through your local municipality, sort of like a liqour license. This shall require renewal every 90 days after providing proof of disease free-ness and reasonable proper tax reporting.
4. EPA / pollution / global warming stuff: If it effects the air I breathe or the water I drink, let's try to clean it up. Let's not worry too much about global warming. Those richers that own property on the coast deserve any rising of sea levels that happen to swallow their home. Plus it'll give middle class Americans located further inland a chance to become rich themselves by owning their own beachfront property.
5. Foreign Policy: Defense only. No more world police. Scale back military spending to 25% of its current level. Use majority of remaining military spending to develop a missle defense system in the event that Iran does get a ballistic nuclear missile and become cocky enough to try to attack us. Let's just detect it in the air and eliminate the threat in the air. It's 2012, surely we can accomplish this. That's right, I'm bringing back Reagan's "Star Wars" concept.
6. Universal heath care. Let's copy Canada on this one. We probably won't even have to raise taxes near as much since my first two points should do a decent job of eliminating a large portion of the more reckless types in society. Plus points 2 & 3 will bring in untold amounts of additional tax revenue. Point 5 takes this a step further and reduces government spending. Implementation of this to begin 2 years after taking office, allowing time for points 2,3 & 5 to produce meaningful results.
7. Income taxes: Picture the curve y=x^2, where x = the amount of money you make and y=the tax you pay. Special care will be taken to make sure the curve maintains current or lower taxes for those making under $500,000. The corporate tax rate will drop to 0. Capital gains will be on a y=x^3 type curve.
8. Guns: You can have any kind you want, but a limit of 2 of each type. You don't need your own compound. Plus my 2nd point should eliminate the market place that the cartels thrive on when you can buy cocaine from vending machines for 85 cents.
