Hey Baddog, one of the few things any president 'could' acually pull off is killing off of the IRS. Yes, it would take some serious work but the IRS isn't really part of the Gov. It really does illegally take money from you.

We could easily replace it with a base sales tax for personal and business purchases. But you would still need a department to regulate people/companies that don't report/pay.

Now going back to the gold standard, I think the President has as much power as me and you on this subject.

rebel23 said it best I guess.. Lots of things could be changed or blocked quickly, unscrewing many little things. I think he needs to be more voicing on what/how he is acually going to do it. It took us 130 years to fuck the system up, add in bushs 8 years of blatant disregard of the constitution... It makes me wonder how a man can archive such positive change in a short time period and not screw it all up in another way.

Subject Jump.... Iraq, we just can't pull out and run. We fucked up a country, we can stop the war but we can't run and hide. Like it or not we will be left with cleaning up Bush shit.
