    Mid-term elections: time for a bold, free market vision

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/25/days-decide-republicans-bank-anti-dem-strategy-platform-unclear/

    The above linked article states that Republican strategists are advising a moderate approach which is not controversial and won't give Democrats a target. In other words, they are advising a luke-warm campaign that doesn't promise to change anything.

    This is a time for brave actions. If Republicans want to gain control of congress, they will have to show the nation they have a plan to get the economy moving. I would propose a five year moratorium on government programs and regulations to stabilize the business enviornment, then I'd look at every business tax which can be drastically lowered or eliminated. I would promise to repeal the healthcare plan and replace it with free market reforms. And that's just my moderate approach because I know that sounds radical to them --I would promise the private sector that a new congress will begin doing everything possible to remove obstacles to economic growth.

    This is not a time for a weak, they-suck-and-we-dn't campaign -- it's time to separate from statism and make a clear distinction between a free market and government management and control.

    That'll be $100,000 for strategy advice -- thank you.
