Your #2 and #3 are contradictory. How can the federal government “bring back American jobs”? And how does that “restore freedom and initiative to this country”? Too vague and meaningless phrases. But, hey, the list feels nice.

Tax reform and regulation reform might make it more profitable for companies to operate in the US rather than overseas. I believe the government effectively chases jobs away. If the government would stop "helping", I think employment would improve.

With a pro-business environment, there would be more entrepreurs. People would show initiative and try to build something. Currently, a lot of people have "gone Galt" and tried to get out of the system because they perceived corruption and a stacked deck. Again, if government "did less", I think more people would jump in, show initiative and try to build their lives.

And, of course, any change involving less taxation, less regulation, and more vibrant economy would foster more freedom in society.

I see no contradictions. I think government blocks solutions. Less government = more solutions.
