Instead of more federal government spending and selective tax cuts, I have a proposal of my own to accomplish the same goals that the ass hats in Washington are trying to accomplish.

One of the main goals of the proposed plan is to get money back to the states for ready projects. This just makes the federal government a middle man in supplying state and local governments with cash, with one hell of a fee taken out.

This program does not promise any new jobs, or any recovery in the current economic times. This success of this program depends on each state’s ability to manage it’s finances. The program expects each state to use its potential increase in available revenue streams to start state projects directly hiring employees, or to allow residents of that state to keep more money to spend on their own.

Here is my proposal:

Part 1: FEDERAL TAX CODE MODIFICATIONS.

Section A: Federal Income Tax Rate

All Federal tax codes will be modified to reflect a 10% cut in all federal tax rates. This only reduces tax rates, and will not cause credits or refunds. The beneficiaries of this federal tax cut will only apply to those who pay taxes.

With a drastic cut in the federal tax rate, each State will have the immediate opportunity to raise taxes to rectify state budget issues, and have immediate spending opportunities for necessary projects depending on the level each state decides to tax on the 10% federal break.

In addition, since the money “stays at home.” This will reduce the need for members of Congress to push for “pork” to get money in projects for their state. This will force and allow the Congress to focus on legislation for that benefits the United States as a whole, and not pork projects.

Section B: Dividends and Corporate Gains Taxes:

To act as an incentive to stimulate investing and to help recover the United States markets. Dividends on Stocks of Domestic Companies will be removed immediately. Foreign owned company dividends will be assessed a 5% tax at time of distribution.

Corporate Gains Tax Rates will be set to 5%.

Part 2: IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS

Since the federal government is reducing incomes through federal taxes, and giving states the opportunity to increase revenue through the tax code, all programs designed to distribute money to the states will be terminated. Programs such as the Federal Highway Program, Dept. of Education, Dept. of Health, and any other institution that distributes wealth to the states.

We need to get a way from the system that the majority of taxes gets distributed to the federal government, then sent right back to the states with strings attached. This will allow more efficient use of tax dollars, will end the debate that residents in some states pay taxes that go to other states.

This will open a more “free-market” or competition between states to try to persuade people to reside in their state. Some states may takes advantage of the opportunity to raise taxes by 10%, and some may let the people keep that 10%.

Part 3: REVOCATION OF T.A.R.P.

All distribution funds under the T.A.R.P program and the Auto Bailout will be revoked. All moneys distributed must be paid back to the Federal Government in 30 days.

Any recipient of the distributions that cannot pay back the funds in 30 days in cash, will have to pay with preferred stock at 200% the amount of distributed funds. The stock will give the federal government voting right and representation on the company’s board depending on the percentage of company stock owned. The company will not be allowed to issue any more preferred or common stock to dilute the ownership by the federal government.

Selection of any board positions, and share holder voting decisions will be decided by the President, or by a designated cabinet member by the president.

Companies forced to issue stock can buy back stock if and when cash becomes available to transition the federal government out of voting/board rights to the company. Stock can be purchased back from the Federal government at 115% of the current market rate or the original price the stock was issued at, whichever is higher.

As congress is getting ready to try to pass a $1.2 Carbon Tax, political action is neccessary. The Flahavin 2008 campaign is proud to endorse the grassfire.org effort on June 12th 2008 to save the planet from Al Gore and other left winged nut jobs using the fear of “global warming” to push their political agenda.

Then pledge to take place of this political movement on June 12th. These are just some of the things you can do to contribute:

The 2008 election has already been entertaining to its fullest. Not too long ago we had a full field of eight candidates in the Republican field. The Democrats have quickly became a battle between Obama and Clinton. As I see it, this election in November has been decided by the media between Obama and McCain. Unless Huckabee and Ron Paul can keep McCain from reaching the magic number to have a majority of the delagtes, this race leaves me no candidate to support. Hillary Clinton will only win if she forces or cheats her way for the nomination, but I don’t think the Democratic party will let that happen.

After very little consideration, I am officially announcing my write in campaign for President. I don’t even meet the legal requirements to be President, but I’m asking for your vote anyway. Don’t vote for me just for President either. I’m running for any and all offices. The goal of this campaign is to be the alternative to a wasted vote. Can’t find it in your heart to vote for either Obama or McCain? Find yourself at the polling place with a local office with only one candidate not in your party?

The media constantly brings up this “independent vote” and assumes they will go for Obama or McCain. Lets prove them wrong! I’m not running on a slogan of HOPE or CHANGE like my competitors. McCain talks about the straight talk express, but even he is full of shit. I’m going to tell you as it is. That’s why the “slogan” of this campaign is REALITY FOR AMERICA. Do you think half the bullshit the other candidates tell you will really happen? Even if I was elected President, I can’t promise you anything. I wish I could make promises to do things, but the will of my power is at the forces of Congress and the Supreme Court. Remember that document we used to have, called the Constitution? Last time I saw it, there are three branches of government. The Congress makes new laws and proposes a budget. The Supreme Court decides what is and is not Constitutional.

The only promise I make to you as any elected official is that I will do whatever I can in my given power to keep the government out of our lives. Unless you elect me for Congress or the Senate, I’m not proposing any new laws. As President, all I will do for you is enforce the law, defend the constitution and borders, and use that veto pen as much as possible. If I am elected at the local level, I will talk to my constituents and keep government as small as possible, unless the city, country, or whatever establishment agrees in true majority for a common effort.

I will not run a campaign of falseness and have a greater that thou attitude. I can tell you right now my shit does stink. Trust me, If I was in the bathroom for more than 2 minutes, you don’t want to go in there. I am far from perfect. As you can tell, I try to be funny, but don’t have the sense of humor like Mike Huckabee. Unless I have something to gain, I’m not going to be an over achiever. I don’t have a degree or a history of working in Politics. I think that makes me more qualified than anyone else. I haven’t been programmed, I’m an average Joe that wants to make this government run by an average Joe. Do you really want another Harvard graduate telling you they know what its like being in the middle or lower class? Does law school prepare you for problem solving, working off hours, troubleshooting real problems, or dealing with other people in your field that don’t really know what they’re doing? Why not elect someone for office that actually has to do this stuff on a daily basis?
I ask you to join this campaign. If you don’t like me, or don’t want to vote for me, then atleast make a statement. Vote for yourself or a friend. Please don’t be a sheep and do what the media says. There is more to the political storm front of The United States than the GOP and the Democratic Party. Please, spread the word, start grass roots efforts, donate(when we get that setup), vote realistically, start a 527. Lets take our country back!

Thank you for your time, and I hope to see you on the campaign trail with your support or vote!
