A Way to Increase Government Revenue

I was watching former Senator Tom Daschle give a speech withdrawing his name for consideration for head of the Health and Human Services Department.  While I was watching, I thought how Treasury Secretary Tim Geitner had similar problems with taxes.  I thought deeper in the past and realized that Linda Chavez had similar problems when she was trying to be confirmed for a cabinet position in the Bush administration.

Here is my solution:  Make politicians pay their fair share of taxes.  When we are running deficits like we are, it is unfair for politicians to exploit loopholes in the tax system.  This is especially true in the loopholes they forgot to write or forgot didn’t become law.

While I am on the subject of money, I predict that those who will benefit the most from the stimilus package will be the lobbyists.  Maybe it is just coincidence, but they always seem to benefit the most.  I would veto any bill where lobbyists would benefit while Americans get screwed if I was elected president.

Remember me in the day, months, and years ahead as I will give commentary on what is happening and how I would do things differently.  I thank you for your continued support.
