You could do a lot worse that closing all the business tax avoidance loopholes for a start.
Same with wealthy individuals who put their assets in their children's names thus also avoiding tax.
Build that bloody wall on the southern border. Enough talk, if you seriously think that's the source for your illegal immigration and subsequent 'cost to the economy', get it done and put military bases along it to keep it secure.
Create a law that says anyone getting government funding to become a Doctor has to devote two years to public service medicine on qualifying.
Same with Lawyers.
Same with Veterinarians.
These people make fortunes in their professional lives it wouldn't hurt them to see life on the other side and do some good.
Standardise education and kill the stupidity going on in Florida/Texas et al Because clearly education is a weapon to keep the poor continuously poor, and the dim even more so.
Create standards for anyone wanting to 'represent the people' because if there are any, many have no respect for them.
At ALL levels ! From parish councils all the way up to the President.
That way you give a yardstick by which to measure your representatives. NOT one defined by whoever controls your state.
Maybe then, and only then can you consider NOT having to set term limits.
Build healthcare centres and hospitals.......at the same rate you build your prisons.

Increase marginal tax rates to where they were in the 1970s to shift the tax burden away from middle class Americans to the wealthy.
Index tax brackets to inflation.
Institute a means test on Social Security--people like Bill Gates and Donald Trump should not get SS.
Ensure SS taxes are paid on ALL income with no limit.
Increase business taxes and reduce loopholes.
Eliminate gerrymandering so state and federal legislators reflect the population at large and brings more people to the middle from both sides.
Accelerate the process of switching to renewable energy resources.
Pass legislation to limit Supreme Court seats to a 20-year term.
Institute a true one-payer health care system for everyone.
This would get us started in the right direction for the long term.

@2brandon2 I have great respect for health care and what hospitals have to go through. This was an issue 50 years ago when I lived in El Paso, and we have never solved it. It is a good reason for a siingle-payer national healthcare system where those costs will get spread around instead of being borne by a single facility or area.

@windinhishair I’m trying to have a conversation man to man. I am a conservative Republican. Not an occultist. When a person resorts to name calling I’m done. And you have lost all credibility in my eyes. People took what Trump said. Way too literal, and it was because of the slant of main stream media’s coverage of him if you wanna believe that people really believed that drinking bleach and pool chemicals would save them from Covid. That’s your business goodbye.

@2brandon2 People that support Donald Trump at this point in time, given what he has done and what he is proposing to do, are members of a Cult. There is just no other way to say it. There are still conservative Republicans out there, but they do not support Trump. The two are incompatible.
It isn't me reporting that poison control centers reported a noticeable increase in poisonings due to people drinking bleach and pool chemicals following Trump's directives. You can read about examples here:

People DO listen to Trump and act on his words. That's a big reason we had an insurrection on January 6, 2021.

Change the salaries of the Politicians so they'll be paid the same as those in the Dole.
Schools and Hospitals would be moved to the top of the list for the yearly budget. And Military funding would be moved to the bottom.
Everyone would be taxed the same not matter the income. So no tax breaks for anyone. Religious institutions will be included in this too.

@Thevy29 I agree with most of what you're saying, but military should go to the middie or top 10 in spending. Just look at China, Russia and any other country that wants us gone.
Let me add: We can stop giving money to countries that dont like us. Just stop helping them in any way. Cut back on active military bases overseas, specifically Europe. Let allies have a base or two here and charge them what we're charged.
Politicians should have to show their tax returns and their bankaccounts. Kinda like to know how you went from making minimum wage, or in AOCs case, less than as a bartender, to a multimillionaire in less that 2 years. The second you have 1 million in the bank, you pay for your security and your own healthcare.
No politicians can be a lifer. Three terms, thats it and you cannot run once you hit 65. You retire and live in your district. That way you have to live with your voters and your choices.
Schools and hospitals absolutely go to the top on the finacial food chain. But, like politicians lets see your books, and show receipts. Why is that teacher making less than 30k a yr, and that hospital administrator making 100k? Also, lets see what the hospital suppliers are charging the hospitals, etc....
I like the idea of a flat tax myself. As far as religious institutions getting taxed, no. Main reason is if they are taxed, then the government has control of that religion.
Get rid of the ⁹/¹⁰ that is listed when we get gas.
We drill our own gas, thats keep the prices down. Food and good cist a lot more primarily bc diesel to the trucks that carry it all has gone up a lot in the last 3 years. Drilling our own will bring it down.
We bring more of our mfg businesses back to the US. Do primary business with contries that actually are our friends. Give tax breaks to small businesses, give incentives to big businesses that hire qualified people.
Spending bills are posted for 30 days so everyone can read it. Also, no pork on each bill, only what each bill is going towards. And show who voted for / against it.
