I would like to offer a suggestion. Over the weekend, listening to political commentators, the phrase that "It's their money" was spoken several times. Now, thinking this over a little, it seems to me that this offers a means to greater liberty. Why not work to increase the means for a citizen to keep more income. This is not a radical or even new idea. Currently, we have 401's, 403(b)'s, and IRA's. Why not introduce a bill in Congress to increase the amounts a citizen may contribute.
A simple idea, right? No, not really. It reduces the means that government has to raise money. In doing so, it reduces in the long term the power of government. It also, and this is mostly likely more significant, it increases the independence and liberty of the individual citizen.
As this is my first post. I will keep it short. This above has several ideas that will be expanded upon in later posts. What is important to note is that the individual is important.
