Extraordinary Estate taxes. Something on the order of 90%, on estates over ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS doesn't seem extreme to me. Buncha billionaires will be kicking the bucket before long.

Tax the Churches, insofar as they are PLAINLY not separate from the State and insofar as Christians will CLEARLY want to do their patriotic bit.

Normalize marijuana and hemp.

Get the hell out of Iraq.

I see daylight.

And I have STILL neither heard nor read a persuasive argument against a flat income tax ABOVE SOME SUBSISTENCE LEVEL OF INCOME. We should have some numbers soon that we can crunch.
