Why don't we begin on cutting waste and loopholes for the American people, by first revising the tax code so that we have a fair flat tax that has no loopholes!!!!!!!!!
In this way, the American people will feel that those rich corporations that export jobs and production overseas would pay for every dollar of income produced their fair share. In this way the middle class, whose back is overloaded with unfair rules and regulations, would be willing to pay the same rate that the rich and wealthy individuals and corporations pay.
Next, begin to draw down troops in foreign countries where the reason is apparent for us being there, i.e., oil ! If this country really wants to reduce fossil fuel consumption it needs a cold turkey approach.
