Why I won't be elected.

If I had my way I would:
1. Eliminate payroll taxes and corporate income taxes.
2. Eliminate federal subsidies including those for agriculture, energy, and education.
3. Legalize all drugs.
4. Eliminate the senior tax exemption and make Social Security payments fully taxable.
5. Eliminate earmarks.
6. Merge the Department of Agriculture into the Department of Commerce.
7. Make it illegal for public employees to strike.
8. Eliminate the minimum wage.
9. Eliminate the exemption for tax-free interest.
10. Repeal big hunks of federal regulations.
11. Simplify the federal tax code:  Get rid of provisions designed to favor particular groups of people.
12. Get the federal government out of education.  Don't insure education loans.
13. Increase gasoline taxes significantly.

For Illinois:
1.  Raise the state income tax so the state can pay it's bills.

Another reason I won't be elected:
I'm not running for anything!

  1. Based on that platform, Uncle Harlow, I would vote for you twice. (You do, after all, live near Chicago, right?)
