Stimulate economy by overhauling our infrastructure
We need to stimulate the economy by creating jobs that come from overhauling our infrastructure (highways, bridges, terminals, railways, etc.). We must also cut personal taxes to zero for incomes up to $100,000/yr, and then, 6% for amounts over that
amount. Business taxes would be scaled back to 15% right across the board. Along with what I call the American Prosperity Tax on Wall Street, which will be an excise tax on every trade of stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, swaps, and their
derivatives, and the 50% cut on military spending, we should have a balanced budget within five years.I am also for 0% interest mortgage loans for the first five years, and 0% student loans with the provision of
decreasing up to 50% of the amount owed, if the loan is prepaid early. Once we are in surplus territory, I would want to re-introduce Glass-Steagall to put an end to casino-banking.
