Yes, "lower taxes."
..........only as much as spending is reduced and the budget is balanced and deficits reduced......

"Privatize our school systems"........very bad idea goes against the principles of demoracy and freedom for all and right for any individual to rise above his environment. The Public School System should be a cornerstone of the US

"Privatize Social Security"........absolutely the worst idea....Social Security would have been decimated by the market crash.....besides the words "social security......means for all.......private means for individuals.....it defeats the whole purpose for which Social Security was set up

, "Get rid of the wasteful bureaucratic shackles which strangle small businesses"......Good idea be more specific

"Pass TERM LIMITS"......absloutely needed to begin to reduce the corruption on the Hill

, "drill for oil practically everywhere we can find it".....bad idea mandate higher mileages and create tax surcharges for guzzlers and find alternate clean energy sources,

"get rid of the IRS by shifting our taxes to a straight consumption tax"......well I like the first part but consumption tax ought to combined with a flat income tax.

"and most of all, *cut* wasteful government spending"........agreed starting with the bloated double than needed defense budget....

Michael,

re >Yes, lower taxes. Privatize our school systems. Privatize Social Security, Get rid of
the wasteful bureaucratic shackles which strangle small businesses. Pass TERM
LIMITS, drill for oil practically everywhere we can find it, get rid of the IRS by
shifting our taxes to a straight consumption tax, and most of all, *cut* wasteful
government spending. <

That is a platform I will vote for every time. (Except for term limits... that's what elections are for. ggg) If you decide to run for something please tell me where to send a check.
