Reduce government to defense spending only. Shut government = down. We=20 don=92t need it.

Eliminate unemployment benefits = completely.=20 Not only are they unconstitutional but they only incentivize = laziness. Do=20 away with food stamps, such programs only encourage parasites. Do = away=20 with Medicare and Social Security, not only are they = unconstitutional but=20 they encourage government dependency at the time when people = should be=20 willing to die instead of draining money from the taxpayers. if = you=20 haven=92t earned enough money in this great meritocracy to retire = in style=20 it is your own fault, you should have skimped and saved and if = people knew=20 that they wouldn=92t have a government program to save them they = would be=20 more frugal during their working years and ensure that they had = enough for=20 their old age. If you can=92t afford health care when you retire = or if your=20 company is one of the hundreds that have filed bankruptcy to = eliminate=20 their retirement benefits tough. You made choices, you should have = investigated all the possibilities and made provisions for such=20 eventualities. You should have long ago planned for the = contingencies=20 associated with long term company supported retirement and = realized that=20 companies just couldn=92t afford such benefits and planned on not = getting=20 them instead of believing that they would be there. Once = government is=20 eliminated the taxpayers will no longer have to pay the huge = retirements=20 and health care costs of police and firefighters who have some of = the best=20 retirement benefits in the country.

This will free up funding for a private of the economy. = Eliminate the=20 minimum wage and unions and reduce salaries across the board. The = vast=20 armies of government workers will provide a reserve army of labor, = and=20 competition for jobs in the private bureaucracy will dramatically = increase=20 reducing salaries and labor costs all around. With these huge = reductions=20 in production costs profits and stock prices productivity and = profits will=20 rise precipitously.

We must also eliminate social security and all government = medical costs=20 including Medicare, Medicaid, and the VA=96these are all just = bloated=20 government programs that encourage big brother style dependency. = If we=20 want a productive country where every one is truly responsible for = themselves we need to eliminate any governmental residues. We also = need to=20 eliminate government prisons and the armed forces. Many states = have=20 already opened private prisons and except for a few escapes there = have=20 been no negative effects and this has produced a ton of savings. = Most=20 government prison employees are unionized by privatizing the = system we can=20 bring the cost of incarceration from the nearly $30,000 a year we = now pay=20 to something approaching $10,000 a year=96a huge saving. Freeing = up money to=20 build even more prisons and incarcerate hundreds of thousands more = law=20 breakers who now roam the streets of our major cities.

Blackwater (now Xe) and other mercenary forces have shown = themselves to=20 be far superior to government forces in nearly every area. = Privatize every=20 aspect of defense. We are well on the way to this already, speed = it up and=20 level the Pentagon, once we eliminate its trillion dollar budget = and use a=20 meaner and leaner private force we will be on our way to really = doing away=20 with government. End all military retirements. We owe these people = nothing, they have no right to taxpayer dollars any more than = workers have=20 a right to life-long support from the companies who they have = worked=20 for.

When people stop depending on companies and the government for = their=20 future earnings, are completely responsible for themselves and = have to=20 compete the country will be stronger, and we can finally control=20 government spending. We stop worrying about unemployment. We can = celebrate=20 each new entry in the army of reserve labor as labor costs shrink = with=20 increased competition between workers for each available job. With = the=20 minimum wage eliminated employers will be empowered. They can = simply call=20 in all the qualified applicants and auction positions off to the = qualified=20 person willing to work for the lowest salary. Any worker who = proves=20 inadequate can be quickly and efficiently replaced from the = reserve army.=20 With no government largess for support, people will be much more = willing=20 to work long hours for much less. Anything else is inefficient and = companies should not be strapped having to bid for qualified = workers,=20 workers should be required to bid for jobs. This is the only way = to ensure=20 that companies can operate effectively in today=92s global = economy. We=20 should give them the tools they need.
