- Payroll Tax Stimulus. With a temporary new tax credit to offset 50% of the payroll tax, every small business would have more money, and all Americans would take home more of what they earn.
- Real Middle-Income Tax Relief. Reduce the marginal tax rate of 25% down to 15%, in effect establishing a flat-rate tax of 15% for close to 9 out of 10 American workers.
- Reduce the Business Tax Rate. Match Ireland’s rate of 12.5% to keep more jobs in America.
- Homeowner’s Assistance. Provide tax credit incentives to responsible home buyers so they can keep their homes.
- Control Spending So We Can Move to a Balanced Budget. This begins with eliminating Congressional earmarks and wasteful pork-barrel spending.
- No State Aid Without Protection From Fraud. Require state governments to adopt anti-fraud and anti-theft policies before giving them more money.
- More American Energy Now. Explore for more American oil and gas and invest in affordable energy for the future, including clean coal, ethanol, nuclear power and renewable fuels.
- Abolish Taxes on Capital Gains. Match China, Singapore and many other competitors. More investment in America means more jobs in America.
- Protect Our Right to Vote in the Workplace. We must protect a worker’s right to decide by secret ballot whether to join a union.
- Replace Sarbanes-Oxley. This failed law is crippling entrepreneurial startups. Replace it with affordable rules that help create jobs, not destroy them.
- Abolish the Death Tax. Americans should work for their families, not for Washington.
- Invest in Energy and Transportation Infrastructure. This includes a new, expanded electric power grid and a 21st century air traffic control system that will reduce delays in air travel and save passengers, employees and airlines billions of dollars per year.

Interesting. I never thought I'd see both "protecting a worker's right to unionize" and the term "death tax" on any single list of solutions.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, the one conservative who has made sense and not deviated from core values over the past 8 years has been Newt Gingrich.
ReplyDeleteThe guy just makes sense. Read some of his writings over the past few years, you would be hard pressed to disagree with the man.
I'm not sure I agree that SOX is a failed law. And I don't see how abolishing the death tax would stimulate the economy. But otherwise the list seems reasonable.
ReplyDeleteI happen to also disagree with the death/estate tax.
ReplyDeleteIf I make $1 million dollars through hard work, risk taking, innovation and blood/sweat/tears, I have to pay huge taxes to the government.
So there should be no way that Richy Rich should be able to inherit that money without also paying the government.
Inherited/unearned wealth is bull shit. I honestly would have no problem with a law that forced wealthy people to give away all of their money when they die.
SOX is also bullshit. Koj, I work with many huge international companies and SOX is a PITA, does more harm than good.
