We Must Focus on the Economy

This Week Dr. John Fleming Has Announced His Economic Plan for Prosperity. The plan has major points regarding tax cuts and making sure that taxpayers are protected.

"We need to stop Washington's wasteful spending and prosecute the crooks. We need to make sure that taxpayers are protected from this financial crisis. I believe there are also pro family tax cuts and pro businesses efforts that are needed now," said Dr. John Fleming.

1. Stop bogus bailouts where AIG corporate executives get a $85 billion bail out and go on a nearly half million dollar vacation spending spree and seek $38.7 billion more. Click here to view the AIG invoice.

2. Stop wasteful government spending by making every agency justify its budgets and meet higher performance and accountability standards. Eliminate automatic agency budget increases by making the performance standards required in order to be considered for funding each year.

3. Drill in America now so that American jobs are protected and stop sending billions overseas to countries that oppose us.

4. Protect our economy by creating jobs, cutting taxes and making ALL health care and education expenses tax deductible for families.

5. Iraq should pay America Back.

6. Support alternative fuels and make America energy independent.

7. Eliminate capital gains taxes and inheritance taxes. One's death should not become a taxable event for the government.

8. Put in place recapture provisions so that those that have gotten a bail out cannot take billions without paying the American taxpayer back.

9. Put government on a low tax diet and reduce fraud and abuse with stronger prosecution and internal controls. Enforce laws on the books to stop illegal immigration.

10. Require that mortgage loans backed by government entities go to only those that are credit worthy.
