If I were President, I would:

Keep the UN. It's on our soil, within our jurisdiction and under our control. Revise Charter to reinforce national sovereignty, self-government, property rights, human rights, and explicit limits to which the UN may intervene in any nation's affairs.

Redirect foreign aide to our allies, and countries that embrace democracy, property laws, inalienable human rights, especially full civil rights for women! Stop supporting dictators, even if it means losing a few strategic allies. We have to walk the walk too. Reduce UN funding by 90% or more.

Scrap the tax code, establish a "flatter" tax, incorporating mortgage and education deductions, but I would pledge to keep the new code under 50 pages.

Abolish the Estate Tax and all taxes on govt benefits.

End corporate welfare completely, and most economic subsidies.

Begin a Secure Borders & Coasts Initiative, use the latest tech to prevent intrusions on our frontiers and beef up all ports-of-entry. Focus on tech to scan EVERY ship container, train car and truck trailer.

Reduce immigration quotas and scrutinize visa applicants more carefully. Require foreign college students to account for their domestic travels and time away from school.

Abolish all government employee unions (start wearing bullet proof jacket when out jogging in DC). Reward performance and initiatives to improve efficiency and customer service. Consolidate all benefits, etc. Same as for Veterans.

Abolish union monopolies, declare a universal Right to Work Act.

Establish a National Voter ID, using biometric identity techs. Create a interstate database of felons, deceased voters, and ending most fraud for good. Require each state to adopt a single standard voting technology and procedures.

End dependency on foreign energy. Mandate hybrid trucks and SUVs and vehicles that use agro-fuels, slash regulations that strangle our energy economy. Build several small cleaner oil refineries around the country, smaller atomic plants and geothermal power stations.

Privatize education as much as possible. Encourage private and religious institutions and community schooling partnerships, groups of parents homeschooling their children together, a return to family-based schools.

Enact drastic legal reforms, reducing malpractice costs. Separate health benefits from the employer. Encourage market solutions to healthcare costs. Restrict all govt benefits to citizens and legal aliens. Deport illegal aliens without exception. Appoint federal judges who will guard our sovereignty and interpret, not legislate.
