  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

* repeal direct election of senators (repeal 17th amendment)

* repeal the unconstitutional Federal Firearms Act and its amendments

* de-fund and repeal the charters of CPB/NPR/PBS

* de-fund the national endowments for arts and humanities and AFI

* de-fund the racist eugenicist Planned Parenthood

* de-fund SBA

* de-fund Export-Import Bank, World Bank, IMF, Asian Development Bank, USAID

* cut foreign aid

* repudiate biased, injust WTO, GATS/TiSA

* re-negotiate or statutorily repudiate/reset GATT & NAFTA

* totally de-fund UN, withdraw membership, and evict them and all their evil spawn from NY and the USA

* 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

* cut or eliminate HUD, HHS, NIH, CDCP, NSF; limit and focus their funding and work on constitutional functions & objectives

  "The tax story of ancient Egypt shows what happens in a society burdened with a totalitarian revenue system. The informer, the corrupt revenue official, & -- most significantly -- the tyranny of all-pervading surveillance are inherent in such a system.   Every taxable transaction must be recorded & subject to examination. Consequently, individuals have to submit every aspect of their life to tax inquisition...   In such a system, any where, privacy & liberty give way...   Our system is basically the same, seeking the same ends & using the means & tools available at the time.   The tools have changed, not the system." --- Charles Adams 1993 _For Good & Evil_ pg 15

  "As disturbing as it was for many to witness Kodak's cultural conversion, perhaps even more unsettling were the job cuts that IBM initiated in 1993. The company had been shrinking its pay-roll since the mid-1980s, going from more than 400K workers to about 250K but this had been done through attrition and voluntary retirement (though the company, exhibiting a sharper edge, had also stepped up its firings for poor performance [i.e. shifting the standards]." --- Rick Wartzman 2017 _The End of Loyalty: The Rise and Fall of Good Jobs in the USA_ pg319

  "From the earliest historical times until around the beginning of the 19th century, the number of people in the world and the volume of goods and services they produced grew at roughly equal, slowly growing rates.   The living standards of ordinary people in 18th-century Europe were about the same as those of people in contemporary China or ancient Rome or, indeed, as those of people in the poorest countries in the world today.   Then, during the last 200 years, both production and population growth have accelerated dramatically, and production has begun to grow much more rapidly than population.   For the first time in history, the living standards of masses of ordinary people have begun to undergo sustained growth.   The novelty of the discovery that a human 'society' has this potential for generating sustained improvement in the material aspects of the lives of all of its members, not just of a ruling elite, cannot be over-stressed.   We have entered an entirely new phase in our economic history." --- Robert E. Lucas ii 2004 _Lectures on Economic Growth_ pg109 (quoted in Mark Reed Levin 2017 _ReDiscovering Americanism: And the Tyranny of Regressivism_ pp219-220)

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).

  "'We stand here [John Adams declared] as representatives of the people. In some states the people are many, in some they are few.'   Reason, justice, & equity never had weight enough to govern the councils of men -- interest alone did it.   (None the less, these 3 virtues were noticeably on the side of the majority; it was only the interests of minorities, or perhaps small states, which appeared by implication to threaten reason, justice, & equity.)   Interest alone could be trusted & therefore the interests within doors should be the mathematical representatives of the interests without doors... he proceeded...:   'The individuality of a colony is a mere sound.'   He then illustrated... A had 50 pounds, B 500, & C 1000, in partnership: was it just that they should dispose equally of the moneys of the partnership?" --- J.R. Pole 1966 _Political Representation in England & the Origins of the American Republic_ (discussing debates over the Articles of Confederation)

  "Since 1800, the world's population has increased 6-fold; yet despite this enormous increase, [average] real income per person has increased approximately 16-fold...   In [the USA], the increase is even more dramatic: in 1800, the total population was 5.3M, life expectancy was 39 [slightly longer than in England], an the real [inflation-/debasement-adjusted, average] gross domestic product per capita was $1,343 (in 2010 dollars); in 2011, our population was 308M, our life expectancy was 78, and our GDP [per capita] was $48,800.   Thus, even while the population increased 58-fold, our life expectancy doubled, and our [average] GDP per capita increased almost 36-fold.   Such growth is un-precedented in the history of humankind.   Considering the worldwide per-capita [average] real [debasement-/inflation-adjusted] income for the previous 99.9% of human exitence averaged consistently around $1 per day [$365.22/year].   That is extra-ordinary.   What explains it? It would seem that it is due principally to the complex of institutions usually included under the term 'capitalism', since the main thing that changed between 200 years ago and the previous 100K years of human history was the introduction and embrace of so-called capitalist institutions -- particularly, private property and markets." --- James R. Otteson 2012 May "An Audacious Promise: The Moral Case for Capitalism" _Issues_ #12 (quoted in Mark Reed Levin 2017 _ReDiscovering Americanism: And the Tyranny of Regressivism_ pp220-221

  "The New Deal is widely perceived to have ended the Great Depression...   But the facts do not support the perception...   there was even less work on average during the New Deal than before FDR took office.   Total hours worked per adult, including government employees, were 18% below their 1929 level between 1930-1932, but were 23% lower on average during the New Deal (1933-1939).   Private hours worked were even lower after FDR took office, averaging 27% below their 1929 level, compared wot 18% lower between 1930-1932...   The economic fundamentals that drive all expansions were very favorable during the New Deal.   Productivity grew very rapidly after 1933, the price level was stable, real interest rates were low, and liquidity was plentiful.   We have calculated on the basis of just productivity growth that employment and investment should have been back to normal levels by 1936...   Some New Deal policies certainly benefited the economy by establishing a 'basic social safety net'...   But others violated the most basic economic principles by suppressing competition, and setting prices and wages in many sectors well above their normal levels...   The most damaging policies were those at the heart of the recovery plan, including the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA), which tossed aside the nation's anti-trust acts and permitted industries [executives] to [conspiratorially] raise prices provided that they shared their new-found monopoly rents with workers by substantially raising wages well above underlying productivity growth...   Each industry created a code of 'fair competition' which spelled out what [executives] could and could not do, and which were designed to eliminate 'exessive competition' that FDR believed to be the source of the Depression..." --- Harold L. Cole & Lee E. Ohanian 2009-02-02 "How Government Prolonged the Depression" _WSJ_ (quoted in Mark Reed Levin 2017 _ReDiscovering Americanism: And the Tyranny of Regressivism_ pp216-218)
