8 The Social Security tax should be placed on all wages a person makes in a year including stock options - difference between bought at and sold at. Companies should not match on employee wages above $100,000 a year. We might not want employee match on employee wages above $50,000 a year

9 Federal government and state government should stop taxing money people get from Social Security. Negative externalities are the highest tax poor people pay. They shorten how long people live and cause people major health problems. www.imf.org/external/pub...

11 The power to regulate value of money and the power to tariff belong solely to Congress and may not be shared with President. Our founders did not want a President who ran a huge domestic business empire to regulate the value of money and have power to tariff.
