this everyone will pay taxes at a marginal rate. We would implement a federal sales tax and
eliminate all federal income tax “School Betterment Tax”
Will be enforced in every state. For county schools in the rural parts of the states
Will help support schools in reasons such as textbook purchases and maintenance updates.

THE ECONOMY
Stimulus Add stimulus money to each pay check in small
amounts. Doing this will allow the money to be spent on things
monthly instead of all being spent at one time. This will help keep the economy “stimulated”
throughout the year instead of one big hit followed by another downfall.

EDUCATION
No Child Left Behind Reform Lessen standardized testing such as DIBLES and
SATs Look at the overall GPA of a student instead of
test scores This will help students who have test anxiety and
punish those who do not take school seriously but still score high on their test
Hold parents more accountable for students rather than the school or the teacher A child must have motivation at home in order to
persevere.
