Would you agree that…
- The IRS has hundreds of thousands of pages of regulations. The words on those pages don’t help you live a better life…You don’t need that.
- Every year between January 1st and April 15th you have to collect a bunch of records in a shoebox so someone can prepare your taxes; or, you have to take a lot of time out of your life to fill out pages and pages of forms to file your taxes yourself. This puts a lot of stress on you or takes money out of your pocket or both…You don’t need more stress and less money.
- When members of Congress leave office and Cabinet appointees quit working for the President they often find jobs as lobbyists with special interest groups, big labor, and big business. Then they wander around Washington DC telling elected and appointed officials how to write tax laws. They eat in fancy restaurants and take expensive junkets…They don’t help you in any way.
- Corrupt and dishonest 527’s and other groups that want to promote some half-baked idea spend millions of dollars to elect their puppets. They get their money under the table from rich people who want to control America’s presidential and congressional political agendas and debates…You don’t need a wealthy businessperson or misinformed celebrity telling you how to think and vote.
- America has a patchwork system of health care. It does not take care of every American and is too expensive for many families…You need reliable health care and affordable health insurance.
- Many Americans can’t retire at all or have to take a big cut in pay if they do retire. The government keeps making up new “plans” to “help” people with retirement but how secure do most of us feel?...You need to be able to face the rest of your life with confidence that you will have enough money to live comfortably and pay for your daily and long term needs without being a burden on your children.
