For those that want me as a VP, here is my platform, and I am unwilling to bend on this.
Here is my platform at this time.
SOCIAL SECURITY
I would retroactively change the age of Social Security to 70. All people under the age of 50 would have to wait till 70, to get Social Security.
Those over 50 will get their benefits as they are now.
HEALTH CARE
I like the idea of a free market solution to healthcare. Nothing government run. Look at government run veterans healthcare. Need I say more?
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
I think the first things we need to do, before everything else, is enforce the US borders. Enfore immigration laws. Noone gets in without proper documentation.
The next thing I think, some would clasify as a form of Amnesty. Unfortunately, we cant in all good conscience deport 12 million people. I say we do the following.
1) Set a date (after the borders are effectively secured) of 6 months where are immigrants are required to contact the Immigration Offices, and register. This registration gives them a valid ID. They are required to state where they came from and how long they have been here. They are to pay a 5K fine for being here illegally. They are gaurented 5 years to be in the country.
At the end of those 5 years, they must learn to read and write English. if they dont learn English, the 5 year visa, is pulled, and the immigrant is deported.
2) At the end of the 6 months, the free registration ends. Then, any illegal found gets deported, simple as that. This means, if you get pulled over by a cop, you get your info run. You go to a hospital, you get your info run. Basically, when an illegal immigrant gets deported when they are discovered. We wont go after them, they will "be found thru normal means."
Also, at the end of these 6 months, companies are required to verify that their employees are Legal. If they are not, the company will significantly fined. This will force the companies to get their illegal immigrant to register and get into the system.
ENERGY
I would have a Government STARTED program to fund alternative fuels. This program would be like "Manhatten Project" but for Energy. The government
would have companies sign up to get federal monies for research, but the technology will then be diversified to numerous other companies after something comes of it.
This means numerous companies and research institutions will get huge amounts of grant money (these companies will have numerous oversites in place). Once they find an environmentally safe and clean fuel, this technology will get given freely to US companies who have proper Export Compliance laws in place.
In the meantime, drilling everywhere, and building numerous powerplants. I suggest, to appease the environmentalists, get the EPA involved from the get go.
IRAN and North Korea
Talk Talk Talk. No military action unless they simply attack. Nothing more than that.
EDUCATION
Dissolve all the Federal Education standards programs, and give ALL control back to the states. Fund them and let them decide.
GUN CONTROL
If it can take out a tank, ban it, other than that, you can own it.
WELFARE
Welfare is simple to me. Everyone can be on welfare for a total of 20 years in their lifetime. Also, they can only be on it for 5 years on, 5 years off.
Once they hit 20 years, all funding for them is cut. This is meant as help, not a lifestyle.
TRANSPORTATION / INFRASTRUCTURE
Reinvest in the infrastructure, its falling apart...not much else I can say, I dont know much on the subject.
GAY RIGHTS
Let em get married, I dont care.
TAXATION
FairTax system, all the way
GENERAL ECONOMY
The Fair Tax alone will cause Corporations to benefit more. The American population will benefit also.
