THE PHILADELPHIA PLAN: Common Sense + New Ideas

ECONOMICS - WISE UP!

CONSIDER A MIX OF CAPITALISM and SOCIALISM with LOTS OF PROTECTIONISM!

  1. SUPPORT MAIN STREET & LOCAL SELF-RELIANCE for National Security, Basic Needs, & Emergency Preparedness:  A)  Provide free online local government registry space for local-only businesses, products, and jobs. B) Provide permit, but rent-free "flea & food, arts & crafts" markets at designated public parks and public spaces. C) Cut unnecessary regulations that discourage businesses, particularly small, locally-owned, and home businesses, plus offer easy access to in-person government services to businesses, rather than coerce everyone to go online. D) Phase-out  "chain businesses" and “bulk discounts” that unfairly undercut small owner-operated businesses, which also sabotages local self-reliance. 
     
  2. CLEAN UP WALL STREET: Ban Hedge Funds, Derivatives, Puts & Calls, etc, and other 'funny money' Ponzi schemes that constitute "casino capitalism", not investing, which threatens our economic system and sabotages U.S. companies' welfare and their employees' jobs and pensions.
     
  3. CONTROL THE MONEY SYSTEM: A) Per the US Constitution, ban the Federal Reserve and pass congressional limits on interest rates on savings and loans, and B) Renegotiate the debt of those individuals and businesses who have been the victims of the banks' "loan sharking" and predatory lending practices, including student loans.
     
  4. TRACK & AUDIT GOVERNMENT: A) Provide easy-to-access online tracking of where every taxpayer dollar is going, to whom, and for what, B) Conduct yearly government & independent audits of every branch of government.
     
  5. SIMPLIFY TAXES & END DEDUCTIONS:  A) Adopt a graduated income tax only for people and businesses, based on all sources of income, B) End to all other taxes, and C) End all tax deductions, which have fueled widespread fraud and the multi-trillion dollar non-profit racket.  Obviously, for our national security, certain businesses and industries will need the governments' help and protection, financially and otherwise.
     
  6. RESTRICT FOREIGN RELATIONS: A) Impose Tariffs and Bans on foreign products and services to protect American businesses, B) Ban foreigners from owning any part of American property and/or businesses.
     
  7. FREE PUBLIC HEALTHCARE WITH A PRIVATE OPTION: A) It's the leading cause of bankruptcy, devastating individuals, families, and businesses, B) And get rid of the insurance companies entirely, as they are an unnecessary expense, plus are ruining the medical profession by dictating to doctors how they should conduct their practice.
     
  8. FREE PUBLIC EDUCATION (K-College) WITH A PRIVATE OPTION: Publicly available "free" education via online K-College curriculums, lessons, & testing via U.S. Dept of Education website, so that the general public and students can both learn more.
