The answer is so simple, but yet hard to get done.
Get rid of the income tax. that would require cutting back huge amount of spending. Spending I might add that is so wasteful that its beyond any reasonable persons imagination.
Second, require home ownership to vote(NO trailer homes would NOT count). It would be an effective tool to get rid of huge amounts of stupid people from voting.
Now before you respond saying so and so is really smart and he rents save your breath. We all know many people who should be allowed to vote and put in the effort to try to see through all the BS that dont own a home. Thats not the point. The point is that the net effect would be that a lot of people who can't balance a simple checkbook would be staying home watching Amercian Idol or whatever dumbass show is on that night instead of trying to vote for whatever person is promising them the most giveaways.
Harsh and hardcore?? yes sure it is. But not nearly as bad as watching our kids future circling the drain.
Want to have some campaign finance reform? won't need to worry about that anymore. Why? because with the government controlling so much less of our money and rights we won't feel the need to contribute at the levels we do now.
Want our troops home and an end to the American empire across the world? No problem, without all the tax money coming in we will have to bring them home and close down bases. Even in hot zones like spain, Germany, and Japan. (we do we need troops in Spain anyway)
Want cheaper gas prices? not having such a big government and army will go a long way to reducing demand
Don't want to spend money stopping someone from smoking pot? Kinda hard to jail 1million plus without all the tax revenue
Want to get the government to restore your property rights? A wee bit harder to get laws destroying your rights when the people voting are the land owners.
Is it perfect? No, not by a long shot. Is it a lot better than what is going on now in washington? Yes and by a long shot.
