  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

* end visa waivers (everyone must pass a conscientious background investigation, regardless of country of birth or citizenship or most recent residence)

* 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%

* adopt honest Country of Origin Label requirement for USA products and all imports to USA, requiring readable percentage of origin content for up to top 10 places of origin of parts & materials

* beef up export bans and restrictions for national security and to fight intellectual property robbery and fraud

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

  "By 1990, Texas Instruments wasn't just doing most of its manufacturing in East Asia, but also its research, development, and design. W.R. Grace, DuPont, Merck, P&G, Upjohn, and Kodak had all opened R&D labs in Japan. And Hewlett-Packard was tapping talent in [and giving away intellectual property to] West Germany, Australia, and Singapore for break-throughs in fiber optics, computer-aided engineering software, and laser printers. For those trying to save money on 'IT' staff, accountants, and software programmers [and tech support, kkkredit kkkard processing, radiology/medical-image interpretation], India was becoming the place to turn. One of the first to spot the opportunity there [and promote it] was GE [along with John Deere], which first consolidated its own 'back-office' operations in India in 1997, and then offered these 'services' to other companies interested in [violating customers' privacy and] hiring 'legions of English-speaking, college-educated workers...on the cheap', as the New America Foundation's Barry Lynn has described it. Even Kathy Hudsom, who had taken so much care to ensure that her Kodak employees didn't lose their 'IT' jobs, couldn't fault [company executives who] now sent work far away, across the ocean. 'When I can bring on an engineer in Bangalore for what it justs for health care [insurance premium payments] for a USA employee, who am I going to hire?'" --- Rick Wartzman 2017 _The End of Loyalty: The Rise and Fall of Good Jobs in the USA_ pg313

  "Penn's political philosophy can never be separated from his interest as proprietor -- elements between which Penn himself discerned no implication of conflict.   But this philosophy had 2 main & distinct sources... his Quaker religion, by which he knew the meaning of religious intolerance & persecution.   Quakers... believed in the direct relationship of the individual, & therefore of the responsibility of the individual...   their pacificism, which was eventually to weaken their hold in PA; the other was their devotion to the worth of the individual.   It was this valuation of the individual that put gov't to the test... the 2nd principal source... was in the Whig doctrines of his own times.   No one who believed on principle in toleration & had seen anything of the turmoil of the English Revolution could have failed to be impressed by the efforts... to work out some system of gov't which, without jeopardising the stability of the state, would secure the subject in the enjoyment of everything that he rightfully owned -- his life, his liberty, his private conscience, & his property." --- J.R. Pole 1966 _Political Representation in England & the Origins of the American Republic_
