1) Eliminate gas taxes and carbon taxes and all of this other garbage which only hurts small business and the poor and middle-class.
2) Open up drilling in many of our areas to bring the price of oil down making oil companies lower gas prices.
3) Get rid of Obamacare.
4) SS and Medicare can be eliminated. Simply pay those who paid into the program what they are owed. Teach kids in school how to invest for their retirement.
5) He does mention the bad effect of unions, but doesn't mention the unions.
6) Eliminate the Federal Reserve. Congress should do their job.
7) Impeach Obama.
8) Get rid of regulations that hurt small business.
9) Quite passing laws written by industry ie Food Safety Act written by Monsanto.
10) Etc., etc., etc.
The founding fathers were against monopolies; or as we call them, mega-corporations. Bring back tariffs which the federal government used to fund itself in the beginning up to about the 1830's. less

The Fed and State Income taxes, along with the Fed Res system, are some of the biggest causes of many of the worst of our problems. How the people of "the land of the free and the home of the brave" could allow these things to go on for a century I will probably never understand.

"That is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty, is violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest."
That, of course, flies in the face of Kelo v. New London. In another paragraph he attacks property tax:
"A just security to property is not afforded by that government, under which unequal taxes oppress one species of property and reward another species: where arbitrary taxes invade the domestic sanctuaries of the rich, and excessive taxes grind the faces of the poor; where the keenness and competitions of want are deemed an insufficient spur to labor, and taxes are again applied, by an unfeeling policy, as another spur; in violation of that sacred property, which Heaven, in decreeing man to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, kindly reserved to him, in the small repose that could be spared from the supply of his necessities."
We all should be aware that the current property tax---or rent on land applied to public purpose---is straight from the ten planks of the Communist Manifesto. And what of the "Interstate Commerce Clause that the Congress uses to make us buy health care---Their health care:
"What must be the spirit of legislation where a manufacturer of linen cloth is forbidden to bury his own child in a linen shroud, in order to favour his neighbour who manufactures woolen cloth; where the manufacturer and wearer of woolen cloth are again forbidden the oeconomical use of buttons of that material, in favor of the manufacturer of buttons of other materials!"
Remember that this was from the "Father of the Bill of Rights."
