Let's REALLY Fix Things!

Here is what I think is needed to save the Republic:

1)  Abolish all Executive Departments, their budgets and regulations except for Treasury, Defense and State.
2)  Abolish the federal income tax and replace it with a National Sales Tax, NOT a Value Added Tax (V.A.T.).
3)  Abolish the estate tax and the capital gains tax.
4)  Repeal the federal minimum wage.
5)  Begin the phase-out of Social Security, MediCare/MediCaid by rolling them out to the states to continue, abolish or privatize as they see fit.
6)  Repeal ObamaCare completely.
7)  Limit federal judges to a 10 year term at each level of the courts, up to and including the U.S. Supreme Court.  Pension and benefits will continue past retirement for only the total number of years served in the system.
8)  Limit the President/Vice-President to two four-year terms, Senators to two six-year terms and Representatives to six two-year terms.  Pensions and benefits will continue past retirement for only the total number of years served.
9)  Return all federal lands to the states.
10)  Return our currency to a gold standard.
11)  Limit federal spending to only revenues received.
12)  Audit the Federal Reserve and bring it under control of the Treasury Department.
13)  Withdraw from the United Nations and expel it's headquarters from the United States.
