Tax Policy:


- Cut the top Business tax rate to 25%(this rate applies to any business which have 3 or more employees outside the owners family).

Make these as the rates:

0%: $0-$100,000
10%: $100,000- $500,000
15%: $500,000-$ 2,500,000
20%: $2,500,000-$ 5,000,000
22.5%: $5,000,000- $10,000,000
25%: $10,000,000- $20,000,000

Over 20,000,000 (a flat rate of 22.5%)

- Have the Income rates be(for Joint ):

12% : $ 0-$100,000
22.5% : $ 100,000- $250,000
27.5% : $ 250,000 - $500,000
35%:  $ 500,000- $1,000,000
39.6%: More than a million

Stanard Deduction: Double it



How to pay for tax cut :
- Remove Carried Interest Loophole
- Get rid of the Offshore Tax Deferral Loophole
- Put a 25% wealth tax on off shore tax havens in the first year you collect taxes from those havens
- Make Companies who outsource jobs pay a higher tax then those who dont


Budget Policy:


- Cut Military Spending by 15% over the next 10 years

- end  all Pork Barell Spending

- Give the President a Line Item Review Power(Which means after the president uses this new line item power the revised bill goes back to congress for an up and down vote , and if the revised bill fails the original bill goes back to the President where the president  must sign it or veto it fully)




Healthcare Cost Reform: Allow Prescription Drugs to be imported from Canada , and use that to lower drug prices in the US. Also open up state lines to lower cost of insurance.


Social Security:

-Raise the retirement age to 68(phase in over the next 20 years)

- raise the cap for the payroll tax

-lower benefit to rich retirees.

Infrastructure:


- Invest between 500 billion - 1 trillion in Infrastructure over next 10 years (Use tax money you got from the offshore havens to pay for this, and some of the cuts in military spending)

- Use a lot of that money to fund green infrastructure projects in Appalachia and the South


Education Cost Reform:

- Limit the number of student loans to cover the cost of an in-state college(So around 20k-25k a year per student).


- Give companies tax breaks who pay for part or all of the cost of college for a student.


Reduce the costs of Welfare:


- Raise Min Wage to 11.50 dollars in urban areas , 9.75 dollars in rural areas(Inflation adjusted)

- Hire people who are on welfare to work on an infrastructure project(this should reduce unemployment rate)


Trade Reform :


- Do Trade agreements with individual countries instead of doing multilateral trade agreements

-  Have stricter trade regulations on countries with significantly lower labor standards than with countries with labor standards on par with the US or higher.

Regulatory Reform:
- Reinstate Glass Stegall

- Require all new regulations to be approved by an independent board (there will be 6 members on this board: 1 member appointed by the President, 1 member appointed by the Speaker of the House, 1 member appointed by the Senate Majority Leader, 3 members appointed by the Governors(The majority party gets to select 2 members, the minority party 1 member) and the member appointed by the President gets to break ties)

No on trade and regulatory, yes on the rest. Note that hiring most unemployed people for increasingly skilled and automated infrastructure jobs is probably impractical and minimum wage in many urban areas needs to be $15. Also, I don't think students should pay less to stay instate--it discourages mobility and limits options. Finally, I'm actually intrigued by this idea for tax policy: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/republicans-want-to-cut-the-corporate-tax-rate-how-about-we-eliminate-it/2017/11/15/758331fe-c956-11e7-aa96-54417592cf72_story.html

I want more clarification on the regulation reform board... and rich retirees shouldn't receive any Medicare/Social Security at all in my opinion. They can afford it. Also the minimum wage should be $15 for urban AND rural workers.

Other than that it seems fair.
