Abolishing all sales and property taxes (and pretty much all other taxes and fees for that matter) except the income tax, which would be correspondingly raised sufficiently to make up for the revenue loss.

Obviously preventing fraud would be the biggest problem, but it could be done.

Corporal punishment for adults is the nuttiest I can think of right now.

Plus, you would have some adults "volunteering".  Trust me on this.

You'd be #1 in line? Hahahaa

My craziest position :

I support US imperialism, true imperialism of the British Empire variety. Of course the goal would be to spread our Republican style of government. Pretty much close to Manifest Destiny.

I'm assuming you felt differently about it in the 1860's however. Wink

1) Abolish selective service
2) Abolish legacy (AKA child of alum) bonuses in admissions at universities
3) Legalize public nudity except where a public health hazard
4) Discourage school-led recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance
5) Health care subsidies for all expenses related to a health condition that is genetically caused

Those aren't "crazy" at all. I'd actually support all of them (though I wouldn't actually push for 3 or 4, since the political costs are far greater than what would be gained by it).
