NATIONAL BUDGET & FAIR TAXATION

The national budget is out of control. We have to reduce the outlay. We need to reexamine what we're spending our money on, especially unnecessary things like missile defense and other programs that are not yielding anything back for the benefit of the public. I know everything could be described as for the benefit of the public, but there are too many things that are not actually doing so. We need to have some real oversight on where we are spending our money, and get our priorities intact.

At the same time we have to eliminate the tax cuts for the wealthy and eliminate the loopholes so that the corporations pay a fairer share of the tax burden. And American corporations should not be allowed to operate offshore and avoid paying their fair share of taxes. That is un-American, un-patriotic, and plain wrong.
