"Rebuilding America" What would you do?

Morning guys,

I have a question to all my fellow BP members. I could not find the thread for some reason so i figured lets construct a new one.

If you were to rebuild this country. What would you get rid of first to before the reconstruction took place.

Section 8? Welfare? FoodStamps? Give away programs? & why?

What would you keep in regards to the give away programs & why

What new strategies would you implemente?

Would you keep our constituion?

P.S. I had a interesting topic this morning with one of my relatives about "Drug testing people on food stamps" and it sparked an interesting debate, BELIEVE ME!! How do you feel about this?

Im really interested in this topic because i am an investor that is building his business from the goround up, and ii would like to know how does this affect me, my family and my business.

I am also an investor that comes from a low income family (about to change that) so i can understand both sides of th etodem pole.

Thoughts, questions & comments are all welcomed guys!

Geoff Murphy

One of the main things that needs to be fixed is our stupid tax code. I spend 6+ weeks of effort every year navigating the tax maze with my accountant. The bottom line is that this is completely wasted effort that could be spent elsewhere. Our tax code encourages behavior that is detrimental to our country and it puts us at a disadvantage globally.
