Government should only get involved in emergencies such as natural disasters.

Replace the "progressive" (Marxist) tax code in effect since 1913 - with a straight percentage tax, equal for all incomes, after deductions. And eventually do away with income tax and return to external taxes.

Cut regulations and taxes on employers
