As the 2012 Presidential Election becomes a two-person race,
improving the nation’s precarious fiscal situation must be the
candidates’ top priority. There are several issues the candidates must
address in order to return the U.S. to its former glory as an economic
powerhouse. These include: the repeal of harmful legislation, an
equitable tax system and the abolition of the Federal Reserve.
One of the first ways of beginning that process would be to repeal all of the anti-opportunity legislation that has been foisted on the American people in the past few years. For example, we could repeal the McCarran-Ferguson Act and allow health insurance providers to compete openly for customers on a national basis. Allow health care providers to compete in the marketplace, charging for their services what the market will bear instead of what the insurance company will reimburse. This would bring more market pressures to bear in the health care industry and bring costs down. If it were coupled with meaningful tort reform legislation that would curtail frivolous lawsuits and shift legal costs to the losing party, we could have world-class health care that was available and affordable.
It is fairly obvious to most American citizens that the U.S. Tax Code has become a truncheon used to beat the American people into lockstep. The actual legislative code is more than four times the length of the Christian Bible and is full of incomprehensible and contradictory exceptions and exemptions. It is an unjust piece of legislation that hinders and manipulates economic activity. It is enforced by an agency that is far too often the antithesis of the basic American principles of due process and equitable justice.
