Some other ideas (not a package):

1) 100% inheritance tax. Minus some small amount for physical goods.

2) Any company that received government bailout funds, can either return them, or have all employees get minimum wage. For anyone in a management position, that is retroactive to their start date.

3) Social Security benefits are optional. You can decline them. Why isn't this true NOW (seems like a no brainer)? Or perhaps require positive action to obtain (paperwork).

4) Corporate taxes become a simple percentage of revenues.

5) House of representatives consists of all those who can present a petition signed by 100,000 voters claiming that the person represents them. Revocable at any time.

6) Senate, back to being a body for states rights. Members appointed by the governments of the various states.

7) No subsidies.

8) ALL taxes in the form of sin taxes. In proportion to the harm done. Retroactive at a one year per year rate.

9) Anyone whose salary or other compensation was determined by someone whose salary etc. was in turn determined by them (in whole or in part), now receives minimum wage for the remainder of their life, (also retroactive to the start of that arrangement). This does not include things like performance reviews.
