1) Taxpayers' Bill of Rights (TABOR). Limit federal spending growth to the percentage in population growth plus the rate of inflation; provide taxpayers the option of filing a post-card sized return using a low, flat tax rate of 15% 2) End Tax-funded abortions. Stop federal payments to Planned Parenthood and prohibit any taxpayer-subsidized health insurance plan from covering abortion 3) Defend American Borders. Complete America's border-protection initiatives using remaining funds from the so-called stimulus bill 4) King Dollar. Preserve a strong dollar so that Americans' savings aren't wiped out by inflation and the U.S. dollar remains the world's reserve currency 5) Empower American Business. Immediately slash corporate tax rates to 15% and scrap the capital-gains tax altogether 6) Defend America. Strengthen America to defend our homeland and fully fund an operational, layered missile-defense system 7) Statism Exit Plan. De-fund czars; immediately cease bailout payments to failed companies; ban future bailouts 8) End Generational Theft. As few believe America's entitlement programs will be able to pay benefits to future generations, provide younger workers the choice of diverting payroll/Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts 9) Restore America's System of Justice. Introduce penalties for frivolous lawsuits, where those who launch unsuccessful lawsuits are liable for the defendants' legal bills 10) American Energy Independence. All-of-the-Above strategy that embraces alternatives, expands and accelerates exploration and production of oil and natural gas, and jumpstarts dramatic increases in nuclear power
