Make sound science, not ideological whim, the basis for regulation, with peer-reviewed risk assessments and full disclosure. Require periodic reviews of existing regulations to strengthen where necessary and change where obsolete.

Retain civil servants to work with those affected by regulation rather than dictating to them.

High taxes and unreasonable regulations stifle new and expanded businesses and thwart the creation of job opportunities and prosperity. Tax reforms will sustain our nations's prosperity and reflect its decency. Save and strengthen social security.
