· Overtime:
Families sacrifice time, labor and talent to earn a living. Working overtime presents a problem. There’s a point where government gains more than the laborer. I’m for elimination of income taxes on overtime work.

· Personal Retirement Saving Plans
What if people were recipients of their own contributions? The idea is payroll deduction choice. Individuals could opt-in, opt-out, and adjust percentage payments anytime. Individual choice requires ownership. Individuals would be owners of these savings accounts. Funds could be transitioned to existing pensions, 401K’s, or savings accounts, IRA's, life insurance policies, CD's, savings accounts, or to spend as they like. We should not tax these investments.

· Department of Education:
Federal involvement in public schools is unnecessary and has diminished our standing in the world. Private schools should be funded, and parents and students should be free to choose schools. Teachers should compete for students. Eliminating the DOE is necessary to return states to their proper role in administering education.

· Military:
While stationed overseas in the Navy, some places during my tour of duty the people of that nation protested our presence. Nations and people should be given respect. Our soldiers standing on their soil isn't the best diplomacy.
Bring our troops home from foreign lands and defend America. Claims that this is isolationism or being naive are incorrect. Peaceful trade and commerce benefits all and is not isolationism but expands peace and prosperity. Examples are our former enemies Vietnam, Japan, and Germany. These countries are now our allies.
When we bring our troops home, and foreign bases are consolidated domestic base expansion will become necessary. This is a matter which will create some temporary jobs.

· Veterans
Service men and women that have suffered injury in the line of duty should receive physical and psychological rehabilitation provided to them at no cost. This is the least that we owe them for their service and sacrifice.

· Immigration:
Individuals that have arrived here by legal means and have proven themselves with integrity should be allowed the benefits of citizenry.

· Tax policy:
If it didn't benefit both parties people wouldn't trade voluntarily. However income tax penalizes productivity and so discourages productive endeavors. Taxes should only be voluntary; at point of consumption of new goods, and services only.
Repeal the 16th amendment. Replace with the FairTax; this national sales tax replaces most federal taxes. Currently, embedded taxes result in overpricing all items in the market. Once transitioned to the FairTax, prices would drop while at the same time boosting peoples’ paychecks. Unlike the proposed inclusive rate of 23%, with payroll deduction choice mentioned earlier, the FairTax could be lowered to 9%.

· Monetary Policy:
Quantitative easing is printing of money, thus lessening the value of it. The Federal Reserve promotes this artificial inflation.
The Federal Reserve has debt claims against us. We should trade property they’re holding for us, for Federal Reserve notes in our wallets. Repeal the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, reclaim our property, coin our money according to Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution, and send a debt jubilee to the Federal Reserve.

· Drug War:
Just as in the era of alcohol prohibition, bad law has consequences to society. Non-violent offenses without intent to injure others should be non-criminal. Our laws create penal system tax burdens. People purchase medication at pharmacies, alcohol at liquor stores, and cigarettes at tobacco stores. Legalization will present problems, yet will yield better results than the current black market turf wars and stray bullets.

· Jails/Prisons:
In our jails and prisons new directives are a must. Equilibrium is necessary between rehabilitation, retribution, skill training, and discipline within the penal system. Abuse of inmates shall not be tolerated. In judicial sentencing guidelines, elimination of mandatory minimums is necessary.

· Abortion:
Some families that cannot have children will go to great lengths to do so. Within society there are alternatives, such as adoption and the fostering of children. A voluntary kindred spirit to aid people with social or economic needs is more compassionate. These alternatives to abortion are better than a policy of aggression.

· Transportation:
Funding our highways by lottery sales tax is an efficient answer. Private ownership could lead to other alternatives such as: partnership billing, or advertisement resources. This could offset road maintenance costs. These deeds could be purchased out from local, state, and federal roads. Thus lowering or possibly eliminating federal and state gas taxes.
Through cell phone app technology and safety features on newer automobiles private industry is leading the way in safety features thus decreasing accidents and emergency service response times. Upgrading the traffic grid, could create efficiency if by learning from these examples.
An immediate problem in the market is drone technology. The federal government is looking to the FAA to resolve this issue. This can present an issue to the private sector. I don't believe it necessary to get clearance from the nearest airport every time little Johnny wants to play with his RC helicopter. So long as it not invading the privacy of people, nor causing harm; private use, no matter how administered shall be self-regulated. One backlash is government usage. If government limited domestic use to fire departments, I believe this would not be intrusive.

· 2nd Amendment
Just as in all property, the people should be able to keep in possession, purchase, trade, and sell their firearms as they wish. Proper handling and operation of a firearm retains it as an effective tool of defense and sport. The necessity of them is determined by ones environment, and competency by ones psychology.
