Ezekiel 33

All of these issues we face have solutions.  The problem as I see it we try to make the solutions to complicated.  We allow lawyers, union leaders, bureaucrats in to the room and the next thing you know you have this pile of paper, stacking of regulations, designed to do nothing more than justify a bunch of do nothing government employees.

Lets take this issue of health care for example. Rather than let the socialist progressives take control of 1/6th of our economy. What if we just put more money in the pockets of Americans so they can afford to buy their own insurance or develop HSA’s ‘. One key point here is however these HSA’s, should have oversight by the states not the federal government.

We have an easy answer too much of the cost of Health Care and Health Insurance questions and it is this.  We put an end to the IRS and the 1040.  We move to the fair tax, across the board, point of sale, 12% tax on consumer goods.  That is city, county, state, and federal combined. 12% percent point of sale,  Period . Then we size our government city, county, state and federal to that income. Period.  We totally flip the system.  During this campaign for Governor, this is a proposal that I am trying to drive home.

Too make my point.  Imagine you walk into this very large Super Center. Independent business’s everywhere you look.  Booths of small business’s making things and selling them. Vendors of all sizes and shapes selling their goods and services.  Then over in the corner, there is a very small booth. The banner over the booth says, Government.  That’s what we have got to get back to. This example is for you folks from Harvard and Yale.

We spend 350 to 400 billion every year in America on tax filing preparation costs. And then there are the billions of dollars that are lost due to tax cheats like Timothy Gietner, and Charlie Rangel.  Lets not forget the billions of dollars that float through the under ground economy, such as illegal aliens sending cash out of the country via western union,.. Fifteen to Sixteen Billion every year are the estimates.

The idea here is we could fund our own health care costs if the Internal Revenue Service became a part of our history. No federal government involvement whatsoever. Everyone would be paying taxes, no exceptions.

Most States have Insurance Commissioners. They should be charged first to go to work, earn their keep, and keep insurance companies on their toes.  Federal government has no business being involved in health care.  Medicare and Medicaid are bankrupting this state.  We should be able to buy across state lines, and if you want to sue someone, you had better be prepared to pay up if you lose.

Western states have allowed the federal government to create another problem. Because much of the land, that could be producing tax revenue. Is tied up in federal jurisdiction. Which prevents the citizens from generating free enterprise. Utah is in the process of addressing that issue as we speak. If I’m elected here in Arizona, we will begin the process of reclaiming our state land, immediately and take steps to create revenue from those lands and the natural resources that they incorporate.  Over the years states have gotten lazy, depended on federal dollars to operate on (bribes) if you will. We will turn off the spicket coming and going.

We need to flip the system.  We must cut 55-65% of state spending costs across the board. We must eliminate dozens of agencies and costs. Looking through the state budget report is like reading Alice in Wonderland.

Look at what Gov Christi is facing in New Jersey.  Massive state debt, (like Arizona) massive legacy costs, (like Arizona). Massive Union labor costs government and teachers health care and pensions  again, just like Arizona.

The cold hard truth is we are broke, and we can no longer afford these taxpayer funded entitlements. Why should working class Americans pay for these mega pensions and long- term health care for government employees?  They shouldn’t and it has to stop. And double dipping must end.

This morning on Imus, Don was promoting a book. That I have been waiting for someone to write for decades.  The book title is “ Animal Factories” By David Kirby. Having grown up on a livestock farm in Kansas. I watched the decline in family farms do to the government, special interest groups that wanted to destroy rural family farming. They encouraged the mega factory farms through, lobbyist, legislation, farm subsidies, and intimidation. Senator Charles Grassley was and is right at the top as a co- conspirator in destroying rural ag.   This book is long overdue. If you’re a parent or grandparent and you are wondering were all these super bug diseases are coming from, this book will lay it all out for you.

You can order this book on Amazon for $17.00 plus shipping.  Why are your grand kids always on over the counter cold and flu meds?

I have been addressing rural agriculture issues at my solo campaign events. We must flip our agriculture industry up side down.  We must create incentives for rising generations to stay on the family farm.

Instead of one hired hand driving a 240 hp 4- wheel drive, 20- bottom plow tractor.  We need 4 sons or daughters driving a 60 hp 4-wheel drive, 5- bottom plow tractor. We need our live stock, feeder steers, hogs at butcher weight, fryers, going to a local processor for local consumption.  I was at an event in Willcox, Arizona a week ago, talking to a beef producer. He told me that the weasels in the forest service were talking about cutting his pasture allotment 83%.  He also told me that over the years he had a rancher in Oklahoma that would come out and buy his yearling calves. Take them back to Oklahoma and finish them out. Why? . Because they were born in the mountains, they were hearty, healthy and because of that he had no vet bill. No drugs, or antibiotics needed to pump into these calves to bring them up to slaughter weight.

Folks these are issues that we must tackle as a state. Your next Governor must understand these issues and get involved with our ag producers.  Arizona needs everyone working and producing. The Federal Government and the U.S Department of Agriculture is getting in the way.  Its time to send them packing.

We need to introduce these property titles to Arizona and all across free America  :

This is just one of many, but a critical reason I have decided to run for Governor here in Arizona.  www.bruceolsen4gov.com
