I'm for reducing the size of the Federal Budget by cutting the Pentagon budget by about 80-70%(note, this is eliminating pork, NOT reducing soldier's pay or pensions/healthcare), recinding all the Bush Tax cuts, and using THAT to help balance the budget, at the same time, being able to fund a single payer UHC system.

I believe in eliminating loopholes in the tax structure, and making it more progressive. Basically I want it so that the first 60,000 dollars of yearly salary is exempt from federal income taxes, and then raising it by increments of 5% for every 50,000 grand above that, with a total ceiling of about 70% which would be any salary above 700 grand. This would only be temporary till we are able to balance the budget, then the percentage may be reduced later.

I think 2nd Amendment issues are local only.
