| Collapse all
I am running because I believe that to restore prosperity for americans, we must abolish the federal income tax for all American people and businesses who make less than $1 million annually. I want to end all foreign aid, close over 95% of overseas military bases, address a national energy affordability crisis by kicking National Grid out of New York and launching a modernization of our power supply through nuclear power plants and hydropower dams, raise tariffs to even higher levels to protect and rebuild American industry and use tariff revenue to repeal payroll tax, and end the Federal Reserve and return our currency to the gold standard to make our currency an appreciating asset again.
- End Foreign Aid
- Repeal the Income Tax
- Kick out National Grid and address the energy affordability emergency
