My Tax and Spending Reform Plan
Breaking News, Taxes Tuesday, October 25th, 2011
By: Rick Perry, WallStreetJournal.com
The folks in Washington might not like to hear it, but the plain truth is the U.S. government spends too much. Taxes are too high, too complex, and too riddled with special interest loopholes. And our expensive entitlement system is unsustainable in the long run.
Without significant change quickly, our nation will go the way of some in Europe: mired in debt and unable to pay our bills. President Obama and many in Washington seem unable or unwilling to tackle these issues, either out of fear of alienating the left or because they want Americans to be dependent on big government.
On Tuesday I will announce my “Cut, Balance and Grow” plan to scrap the current tax code, lower and simplify tax rates, cut spending and balance the federal budget, reform entitlements, and grow jobs and economic opportunity.
The plan starts with giving Americans a choice between a new, flat tax rate of 20% or their current income tax rate. The new flat tax preserves mortgage interest, charitable and state and local tax exemptions for families earning less than $500,000 annually, and it increases the standard deduction to $12,500 for individuals and dependents.
This simple 20% flat tax will allow Americans to file their taxes on a postcard, saving up to $483 billion in compliance costs. By eliminating the dozens of carve-outs that make the current code so incomprehensible, we will renew incentives for entrepreneurial risk-taking and investment that creates jobs, inspires Americans to work hard and forms the foundation of a strong economy. My plan also abolishes the death tax once and for all, providing needed certainty to American family farms and small businesses.
My plan restores American competitiveness in the global marketplace and provides strong incentives for U.S.-based employers to build new factories and create thousands of jobs here at home.

tax reform means removing the IRS, but the average American can’t and won’t support this since it places the job to watch their finances on them. Look at the housing market and all the buyers who want help because they bought a home they would never be able to afford

Dear Sir,
I desperately need your help. I am in possession of a Land Grant/Patent that is being violated.
Barring specific reservation and subject to pre-established servitudes, a government land patent to an individual vests legal title and right to the located property to the extent it was held by the State or United States. It is considered in the nature of a compact and is an executed contract. It is a covenant that cannot be resumed, annulled or later modified by the grantor through legislation or otherwise. (A right vested, cannot be divested. Cited, 2 Dall. 297, 304; 9 Cranch 52; Green v. Biddle, 8 Wheat. 1; Fletcher v. Peck, 6 Cranch 136.)
A patent, once issued, is the highest evidence of title, and is a final determination of the existence of all facts. Walton v. United States, 415 F. 2d 121, 123 (I0th Cir. 1969)
I have been severely damaged by public officials and their Corporate Attorney’s that are ignorant of the Law of the Land . Besides interfering with my Civil Rights, they are committing fraud and interfering with a Federal Contract derived from a Treaty. My “Homestead” is not much but it is mine and all papers are certified and filed at the courthouse.
The Governor’s Office and the Commissioner of the General Land Office have both signed and affixed their Seal to this particular Patent. Please help, the only thing left for me is to contact anyone in the media that will listen.
Looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
