Is this a good platform for president?
This is for a school project... 1. Limited government/less spending a. Abolish many government agencies which are either unconstitutional or inefficient (like the Dep. of Education and a few others) b. Privatize social security by putting it in the hands of credit unions, rather than large corporations, while retaining medicare in the hands of the state governments, rather than the federal government c. End useless foreign aid and make sure the only form of foreign aid is microloans, and that also to the poorest nations only 2. Decrease military spending and end the war a. End the war and bring the troops home, immediately, there's no use of us being in Iraq, and the only reason for us being in Afghanistan is to fight the 100 al-qaeda members which are still there... We are occupiers, and that only perpetuates the war b. Close useless military bases which help us defend our 'global empire'... We have over 700 military bases in over 100 different countries... We have about 30,000 soldiers in South Korea, Germany, and Japan, each, and all these countries are doing well enough to defend themselves 3. End foreign oil dependence and initiate new hemp based economy a. Systemically encourage ethanol usage instead of petroleum and legalize the growing of hemp, which has one of the best seed to oil ratios in the natural world... Hemp can replace corn as the main ethanol source which will lower food prices... b. Hemp fibers can produce 4 times as much paper per acre than trees, so we can add some more oxygen into the air by not cutting more trees 4. Clean up the environment a. Even though global warming is in question (see: climategate), we still need to clean up air and the water supply b. We need to ban fluoride, lithium, and other substances which are purposely put into our water supply "to keep us healthy"... These are like forced vaccines, since nearly every community's water supply contains these hazardous substances c. "Cash for Caulkers" program where people are encouraged to be efficient in their household 5. Lower taxes a. Since many useless programs will be cut, our need for taxes will become less b. We abolish the individual income tax and abolish the dividend tax c. We instate an intangible property tax so we can efficiently tax the rich (this tax will make stuff like stocks, bonds, patents, and other things like real property, so we can tax it) 6. Empower local government a. Since local government are so numerous, they are all harder to infiltrate by the money powered elite b. Since we stop many programs, we can stop the chokehold the federal government has over the people and local governments What do you think? Would you vote for someone with this platform? When I say infiltrate, I'm saying large multinational corporations. If the people of the community themselves infiltrate it, well, that's their job.

6a is backwards. Being smaller makes them easier to infiltrate by smaller businesses and with less people watching.
