5 Point Plan for a Stronger Middle Class
October 02, 2012
The past three and a half years have been the hardest on the middle class since the Great Depression. Too many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling to find work. This election is about giving middle-class Americans a fair shot. On Day One, I will begin turning this economy around with a plan for a stronger middle class. My plan will deliver more jobs and more take-home pay by focusing on:
•Energy independence
•Increase access to domestic energy resources
•Streamline permitting for exploration and development
•Eliminate regulations destroying the coal industry
•Approve the Keystone XL pipeline
•The skills to succeed
•Give every family access to a great school and quality teachers
•Provide access to affordable and effective higher education options
•Focus job training programs on building valuable skills that align with opportunities
•Attract and retain the best and the brightest from around the world
•Trade that works for America
•Curtail the unfair trade practices of countries like China
•Open new markets for American goods and services
•Build stronger economic ties in Latin America
•Create a Reagan Economic Zone to strengthen free enterprise around the world
•Cutting the deficit
•Immediately reduce non-security discretionary spending by 5%
•Cap federal spending below 20% of the economy
•Give states responsibility for programs that they can implement more effectively
•Consolidate agencies and align compensation of federal workers with their private-sector counterparts
•Championing small businesses
•Reduce taxes on job creation through individual and corporate tax reform
•Stop the increases in regulation that are tangling job creators in red tape
•Protect workers and businesses from strong-arm labor union tactics
•Replace Obamacare with real health care reform that controls cost and improves care
My comprehensive plan will create 12 million new jobs and grow the economy by 4% per year on average. I am running for president because I know that my policies and vision will help strengthen the middle class, lift people from poverty, and create sustained economic prosperity.
