This is radical nonsense. All that actually needs to be done is withdraw from the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty and open a land office for recording deeds to celestial resources.

Eliminate all farm subsidies? you will be damn hungry in a short time.

2) Eliminate all farm subsidies, quotas, and price supports. Eliminate all tariffs. Eliminate all budget earmarks. Eliminate all corporate welfare......

Define "corporate welfare". And the elimination of farm subsidies would need to be done in a smart way. Expensive food is bad for America.

4) Phase out all forms of capital income taxation, including the corporate income tax, and replace them with a carbon tax, including a gasoline tax. "Savings and investment boost economic growth, but when it comes to energy, global warming threatens as a major problem and our dependence on Middle Eastern oil damages our foreign policy."

Phasing out capital income taxation, good. Replacing this with carbon / gas tax, bad.
