If our country is ever going to get anywhere we must rid ourselves of this nonstop involvement in political extremism. On one side you have democrats that want to punish people who have been succesful and are wealthy and on the other side you have republicans who refuse to give people who aren't wealthy the assistance they could use.

There has got to be a better way and as a political moderate I want to provide that better way.  That path can taken if we strike the right balance.

TAXES:

One party wants to soak the rich and the other party wants to abandon the poor.

I believe that we have to allow people to pay a tax that is commensurate with their income and so I support eliminating loopholes and abandoning the complex tax code that we have now for a simple and fair tax.  I support a flat tax.  It allows everyone to pay the same percentage in taxes but if you make more you will still pay more and if you make less you will pay less.

FEDERAL BUDGET:

The government is out of control.  Republicans have at times refused to create proper control and regulation while democrats can't stop creating reasons for more controls and more regulations.  Without the right kind of regulations problems are created and it costs the government billions to correct or bailout the problem that a lack of control creates.  With too much control and regulation the government becomes to expensive to run and government oversight increases the cost of its operation and accountability problems arise.

We need to reign in government and if we do we will begin to get the federal budget under control.

We also have to reform the way that spending is approved in Washington.  We must eliminate pork barrel spending by banning the practice of adding non-related spending measures to legislation.
