  Secure the rights to life, liberty, property & privacy; eliminate the extreme leftist ratchet:

* repeal vile, hateful, unconstitutional national socialist ObummerDoesn'tCare (do NOT replace it)

* block unconstitutional national socialist RyanAndMcConnellDon'tCare

* reform regulation and taxation of charities (differentiate genuine charities from political campaign organizations and crony socialist cabals) and encourage, without subsidizing, mutual benefit associations

* cut immigration/green cards/LPR visas to no more than 175K/year (about what John F. Kennedy thought was reasonable)

* cut O + L + H guest-work visas to no more than 5K/year (total)

* cut F student visas to no more than 10K/year (total) and OPT to 500/year for a term of no more than 3 months

* fence/wall the borders

* terminate/eliminate permission to work from exchange / student exchange / cultural exchange visa programs (you can put on plays, pageants, dance, music, local craftsmanship & industry demonstrations, but not settle in to jobs in hotels, resorts, USA industries, craftsmanship, agriculture, etc.)

* phase out unconstitutional Medicaid & Medicare over 3 years

* phase out the unconstitutional Socialist Insecurity Abomination over 5 years

* end government subsidies for hospitals (and the attached strings)

* end government subsidies for scientific research (except for defense which should cover defense against biological warfare & epidemics)

* repeal regressive income extortion (i.e. repeal 16th amendment; replace with national retail sales tax with hard-cap constitutional top rate of 9.875% structured as a levy on the states)

* revoke the charter of the CFPB and repeal the rest of Dodd-Frank

* revoke the charter of the Federal Reserve System and establish a stable, hard money

* cut federal Department of Educationism back to statistical reporting of graduations, diplomas, degrees, and rates thereof (NCES)

* cut Department of Energy by one-third to one-half

* set normal import tariff/duties/taxes to a maximum cap of 9.875%, and MFN to a cap of 8%, dumping penalties to at most 50%, and fraud penalties to at most 120%, eliminate exemptions to bring back burden to between 40% & 65% of all goods and services imported into USA with the aim of reaching an overall weighted average rate of 8%-12.5%

  "Indeed, both Democrats and Republicans offered considerable opposition to the proposed [Socialist Insecurity] Act. Montana senator Bennett Clark proposed an amendment that would have enabled employers to opt out of [Socialist Insecurity] if their pension plans offered more generous benefits than it did. This would have meant freedom of choice for employers and employees alike, but advocates of [Socialist Insecurity] were adamantly against freedom of choice. They wanted a monopoly." --- Jim Powell 2003 _FDR's Folly_ pp182-183 (citing Congressional Record vol79 part9 1935-06-17 pg9442)

  "In 1944, at the height of the war, only 1.2% of the labor force were jobless. The efficiency of conversion from civilian to military production tripled the manufacture of durable goods. Government investment created totally new industries, such as that producing synthetic rubber. Cost-plus, fixed-fee contracts, generous tax write-offs, and exemption from anti-trust prosecution encouraged companies to compete for government contracts totaling $175G from 1941 to 1944, most of which were awarded to the 100 largest firms. Corporations doubled their net profits between 1939 and 1943, and employee wages and salaries rose more than 135% from 1940 to 1945. The pace of agricultural mechanization increased [and braceros brought in from Mexico] to make up for farm laborers lost to the front or war industries. The federal bureaucracy increased its size from 1.1M workers to 3.4M. The war-time emergency expanded the American [GNP] to all-time record levels of growth... After the threat of a war-time march on Washington [DC] proposed by A. Philip Randolph, president of the black Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, president Roosevelt [FDR] had issued an executive order requiring that defense industry employment be open 'without discrimination because of race, creed, color, or national origin'... To secure defense jobs, 1.6M blacks migrated from the South to industrial cities of the North and West in the 1940s, more than the total migration of the previous 30 years... Over 400K black women quit work as domestic servants to enjoy the better working conditions, higher pay, and union benefits of industrial employment... the war-time government began in 1942 to admit Mexicans to the United States as braceros on short-term work contracts to meet the war-time need for farm and industrial labor. Although the new-comers continued to experience discrimination and segregation, they seized the economic opportunities that had become available. More than 15K Mexican railroad workers were relocated as far away as Chicago. In Los Angeles, 17K people *of Mexican descent* found ship-yard jobs where before the war there had been none available. Similarly, displaced white coal miners and marginal farmers fro the hills of West Virginia and Kentucky left Appalachia to work in the booming war industries of Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. Well over 6M women entered the labor force during the war years, increasing the number of working women 57% in less than 5 years. Most of them worked in cities. 2M took clerical jobs; another 2.5M worked in manufacturing. 75% of the new women workers were married, and nearly two-thirds wre not only married but also mothers. Women in industry were offered skilled jobs previously available only to men: they became riveters, welders, crane operators, tool makers, and blast-furnace cleaners... Many women found jobs in the expanding aricraft industry, which increased its employment from 4K women in 1941 December to 310K by 1943. B'y 1944, 3M children, one-third of those between the ages of 14 and 18, were also employed... Between 1939 and 1946 the federal government built an average of over $2.5G worth of industrial buildings every year. This was more than twice the average of private industry for the same years." --- Howard P. Chudacoff & Judith E. Smith 1975, 1988 _The Evolution of American Urban Society_ pp260-262

  "As David, the young Jewish immigrant in Israel Zangwill's 1914 play 'The Melting Pot', exclaims: 'America is God's crucible, the Great Melting Pot where all the races of Europe are melting and reforming! Here you stand, good folk, think I, when I see them at Ellis Island, here you stand in 50 groups, with your 50 languages and histories, and your 50 blood hatreds and rivalries. But you won't be long like that, brothers, for these are the fires of God you've come to -- these are the fires of God. A fig for your feuds and vendettas! Germans and Frenchmen, Irishmen and Englishmen, Jews and Russians -- into the crucible with you all! God is making the American.'" --- Joel Kotkin 1992 _Tribes: How Race, Religion, and Identity Determine Success in the New Global Economy_ pp249-250 (citing Charles Hirschman 1983 "America's Melting Pot ReVisited" _Annual Review of Sociology_ pg397)

  "If a particular industry looks very profitable, others will quickly enter and compete the rents away. In reality, however, there are often barriers -- such as the need for very large scale production, huge up-front capital costs, or steep learning curves -- that keep competitors out and profits high. Think of MSFT, for example. Why aren't other companies rushing to write and market [higher quality] operating systems to compete with the [low quality but] hugely profitable Windows?" --- Clyde V.

"Thus saith the Lord GOD: Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel; remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; take away your exactions from My people, saith the Lord GOD. Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah..." --- Ezekiel/ יחזקאל/ Yechezqal 45:9-
"Now this is the mitzvoth, the statutes, and the ordinances, which HaShem your God commanded (Moshah/Moses/Musa) to teach you, that you might comply-with/execute/carry-out/fulfill/do them in the land to which you go to possess... Hear, oh Israel; HaShem our God, HaShem is unique. And you must love HaShem your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words, which I command you this day, must be in your heart; and you must teach them diligently to your children, and must talk about them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the path, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. And you must bind them like a sign on your hand (so you will often see them), and as a sign on your fore-head between your eyes (so others with you will often see them). And you must write them on the door-posts of your house, and on your gates (so those who enter or pass by will see them)." --- Deuteronomy/ דברים/ deberim/debrim/words 5-6

  "In 1860, the South had 40% of the dairy cows in the USA but produced just 20% of the butter and only 1% of the cheese. The greater success of the largely German dairy farmers of Wisconsin, compared to the poor showing of dairy production in the South, was explained by one scholar who wrote: 'The close attention to duty, the habits of steady, skillful [knowledgeable] routine accepted by butter fat producers of Wisconsin as a matter of fact, are traits not yet present in southern culture.'" --- Thomas Sowell 2015 _Wealth, Poverty and Politics: An International Perspective_ pg89 (citing Grady McWhiney 1988, 1989, 2012 _Cracker Culture: Celtic Ways in the Old South_ pp19, 83; Virginia Brainard Kunz 1966 _The Germans in America_ pp11-12; Lewis Cecil Gray, Esther Katherine Thompson & Henry Charles Taylor 1933, 1958, 1992 _History of Agriculture in the Southern United States to 1860_ vol2 pg831; Rupert Bayless Vance 1932, 2012 _Human Geography of the South: A study in Regional Resources and Human Adequacy_ pg168)

  "Connected to the tendency of power to corrupt are yet other tendencies that emerge from the pages of the historians: * the tendency of power to drive intelligence under-ground; * the tendency of power to become a theology, admitting no other gods before it; * the tendency of power to distort & damage the traditions & institutions it was designed to protect; * the tendency of power to create a language of its own, making other forms of communication incoherent & irrelevant; * the tendency of power to spawn imitators, leading to volatile competition; * the tendency of power to set the stage for its own use." --- Norman Cousins 1987 _The Pathology of Power_ pp 23-24

  "From the mid-1980s through the late 1990s, General Electric chopped its USA work-force by half (to about 160K) while nearly doubling its foreign work-force (to 130K). In some instances, this was because the company wanted to be nearer to its over-seas customers. The hottest market for GE's [electricity] generation business, for example, was in Asia, and so in 1992, Jack Welch re-assigned the lead sales office for the unit to Hong Kong from Schenectady, NY... In other instances, GE changed countries just to pay less for labor. 'Ideally', said Welch, 'you have every plant you own on a barge.' The company also prodded its suppliers to drive down costs [even if it meant driving down quality] -- by picking up and re-opening in Mexico [or Red China or India or VietNam]." --- Rick Wartzman 2017 _The End of Loyalty: The Rise and Fall of Good Jobs in the USA_ pp312-313 (citing "GE's Welch Shares Secrets" 1998-11-22 _Erie PA Times-News_; Jill Andresky Fraser 2002 _White-Collar SweatShop: The Deterioration of Work and Its Rewards in Corporate USA_ pg40)
