Buck platform

Here, in no particular order, are the points of my plan to improve my country.

Secession declarations by the States in 1860 and 1861 will be re-instated and honored as written.  This includes South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina.  Contiguous States may also leave my country with special Buck encouragement to the States of Oklahoma, Arizona, Kentucky and New Mexico.

Repeal and rewrite the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution to read something like...The second amendment is hereby repealed.  State militias may be organized to support the military of the national government as led by the Commander in Chief.  The right of citizens to keep and bear lethal weapons should be regulated by the national government for the safety of all citizens, whether they be armed or unarmed.

Federal income taxes should be augmented by federal wealth taxes.  Financial institutions should provide information to the IRS on the holdings of all citizens by tax id number.  Tax returns filed by individuals would include a schedule of holdings.  Income tax rates would be based on the level of assets held by individuals.

Federal income taxes paid by publicly held corporations would be similar to the current tax code of individuals in both the rate of tax and method of taxable income calculation.

Health care would be entirely funded and regulated by the federal government.  This includes services for abortions, birth control, addiction rehabilitation and all health services without regard for religious or moral objections by individuals.  If medical science can help an individual be healthy, society will help them secure their health.

Voters who cast their ballot for George W Bush's election to a second term as President will forfeit their right to vote for a period of 12 years.

That's a good start.
