The world can't have "winners" without "losers," can't it? Again, this falls under the "T.F.B." rule.


Sure.

1. End (or severely restrict) many welfare benefits.
People are adaptive creatures. They'll figure it out. Maybe after a while, they'll go back to doing those jobs that "Americans don't want to do." If they don't, then they have the freedom to live on the streets. I can agree that the Welfare system does need to be policed more strickly , but there are people within that sytem that truly need the assistance.

2. Pass the FairTax system, and downsize the I.R.S. by 90% Yes sir , to your first point! The elimination of the I.R.S. would lead to many hiding earnings thus nullifying a fair tax system!

3. Force 100% of all pork projects to go before voting legislators.Some earnest projects get broad stroked as "Pork Barrel" A review would be the right thing to do, but also make it an illegal to slip these things in during the middle of the night or in versions that haven’t been reviewed.

4. Privatization of more federally-controlled land.
