Stephen Laffey in Survey of 2024 Presidential campaign websites

On Budget & Economy: Federal Reserve should be limited to money supply

Our national debt will finally be reigned in, and Congress's habit of passing initiatives for which there is no money, will stop.

On Education: We have to commit to getting every kid out of public schools

Fix Our Educational System
• Public schools are broken beyond repair; they need to be replaced with a system of choice for parents.
• We have to commit, right now, to getting every kid out of the public schools.
• A check needs to be sent to every family so children can finally learn unencumbered by onerous, abysmal, misguided education standards.
• Let the parents decide.

On Foreign Policy: US sending money & guns to Egypt who are killing Christians

God Is Great--So Let's Kill Christians
• Muslims in Egypt are quietly burning Christian churches, banning Bibles, and killing Coptics- all while the US keeps sending money and guns, and the Media remains completely silent.
• What if Christians were burning Muslim mosques in Alabama. ?Laffey bets you'd hear about that.

On Free Trade: Why are we still trading with Communist China?

• America's trade relationship with Communist China has hurt Americans' wages.
• It has allowed China to build up its military as it works to supplant America as the world's superpower.
• It has cost Americans millions of jobs.
• It has not led to democracy, or respect for intellectual property, or bestowed human rights on individuals in China.
• It has made worse America's budget deficit.
• Why are we still trading with Communist China?

On Government Reform: Stop officials from conflict of interest investments

• 1 in 5 officials invested in stocks of the very firms lobbying their agencies!
• Some officials traded just ahead of regulatory actions, were significant big tech investors, or made large & risky trades.
• Ethics lawyer at the U.S. agency that oversees conflict-of-interest rules states, "[these stock trades] clearly violate the spirit behind the law, which is to maintain the public's confidence in the integrity of the government."
• Laffey will stop these conflicts of interest.

On Gun Control: End making military installations "Gun Free Zones"

"We've got to change the laws that these people put in [place] in Washington so that our own military can't defend themselves in America," Laffey says.

On Principles & Values: While parties fight, our American exceptionalism slips away

On Social Security: Adopt Personal Security System, phase out FICA

Fix Social Security-The Big lie
1. Those already collecting Social Security are grandfathered.
2. Those scheduled to collect receive all benefits accrued under the current system.
3. No additional benefit accrual. The old system is frozen.
4. The FICA tax is gradually phased out.
5. Adoption of the Personal Security System (PSS).
6. Workers contribute 10% of pay to PSS accounts.
7. Half of married couples' combined PSS contributions is allocated to each spouse's account.
8. Government makes matching contributions on behalf of low earners, the disabled, and the unemployed.
9. All PSS balances are invested identically, by a computer, not Wall Street, in a weighted index of global stocks, bonds, and other traded financial securities.
10. The Government guarantees at least a zero real (after-inflation) return. No one loses their contributions, adjusted for inflation.
11. Between 57 & 67, each birth cohort's PSS balances are used to purchase Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS).

On Tax Reform: Adopt Herman Cain's "9-9-9" Plan; it's fair and simple

Make the Tax Code Fair and Simple
• A New Tax System: Herman Cain's "9-9-9" Plan:
  Why Do You Think It Was So Popular?! Because it works.
• "You know, Steve, it's really half a fair tax, and half a flat tax." ?-- Herman Cain, to Steve Laffey in Atlanta, 2013
• The elites couldn't have something so simple, so fair,--partly a wealth tax, and doing away with the 60,000 pages of nonsense their buddies take advantage of.
• Why is no one going to propose it now? Too risky for the insiders, not popular with the elites. They saw what happened to Herman Cain!
