| KILBOTz 04/20/17 8:54:47 PM #35: | My simplified platform for KILBOTz 2020: tax policy: Reduce corporate income tax to a competitive global rate. Increase dividends tax rate for a cash neutral solution. (a state's right thing but) have state education funding be more spread evenly than how it is currently mostly local. Cuts: US spends $150B a year on oversea bases. Get rid of all but the most strategically important ones. Maybe one in S. Korea and Japan and someplace good in the Middle East. US spends $20B on farm subsidies a year, with the 15% of largest farms getting 85% of the funding. Have hard size caps and cut funding by $15B. Reduce federal government workforce by 10% through attrition, from 2.1M to 1.9M and annual expenditures from $267B to to $240B or a $27B reduction. Reduce the military budget by 10% with a move more towards defense than power projection for about another $100B reduction. New expenditures: in 2012 Goldman Sach's estimated that it would cost Google $140B to have nationwide fiberoptic cable. Rent the capacity to ISPs for the maintenance costs and have price ceilings. Increase federal infrastructure spending by $100B/year including things like making sure cities have clean water, roads are usable and safe and hopefully widened, etc. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
