Seriously, here it is right here:
The plan is to slash the federal budget by about half, and LET US KEEP MORE OF OUR MONEY SO THAT THEN WE COULD AFFORD TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE from a private insurer!!!
Cut taxes dramatically on the middle class and even the wealthy (good for the goose, good for the gander), and completely exempt the lower class from income taxation - if you make less than $35,000 a year individual or less than $60,000 married couple, you should have to pay a big fat ZERO in federal *income* taxes, and only a very minimal amount going up from there. We had no income tax until 1916, and when it began, it was less than 1% of income. There's no reason on earth we should be zapping the lower class at 15-25%, and zapping the middle class at 15-40%, at least not at the federal level.
Under my plan, we'd actually have enough money left in our budgets to pay for all of our necessities and still afford private health insurance, without working 2 jobs and toiling day and night.
I know, it's a novel concept, to lower taxes to boost our budget and let the private sector sort out the problem. But Obama would like to go in the 180 degree opposite direction - dramatically raise taxes in order to give us crappy crappy Canadian style health care. It's absurd. Let us have more (a lot more) of our own money, cripessake.
OK, rant off. But seriously that's my plan. First step in slashing the budget is eliminating the war on some drugs and the twenty some odd alphabet soup agencies that work hard spending our money to enforce it (and yet it's still a dismal failure).
