I want a 10% flat tax with no exceptions.
What do you mean flat tax?  Do you mean everyone pays the same income tax rate and that capital gains are also taxed the same way?  All taxes are equal?  Elaborate since this is a bit obscure to me.

 
I want a huge cut in government costs. That means closing crap like the Department of Education.
It's hard to cut things that some people see some value in.  There are benefits in certain things that we keep.  If we do what we say benefits most people, then what we're also saying is that we neglect the minority.


I want all foreign aid sent to our enemies to end. If people need our help, we can help them, but we need to stop borrowing money from China to send to Egypt while they hate us.
I do not know much about this issue, but I do not think that this would help us much in the long term whether we stop it or not.  This could be done solely for publicity.  


I want taxes on imports to make outsourcing cost more than running factories in the USA.
I'm a little tired, but doesn't this result in inflation?


I want unions to have less power. We have all the worker's rights laws we need, now unions do nothing but costs us all money.
I do not know for sure how much power unions have, but working conditions are not consistent and there are a lot of holes in these sorts of things.  A lot of nasty things still happen to factory workers.


I want term limits for congress.
I do not think this will impact much in the end.


I want all our fuel resources utilized. That goes for oil, coal, coal to oil, wind, solar and most importantly nuclear.
This is a debatable issue depending on your views.  There are many conflicting issues on how to use our resources and whether or not we should even care about this.  I'm supporting this view, especially about utilizing nuclear.  However, the people are highly against nuclear due to its "potential" risk if anything were to go wrong, however low those risks may be.


I want congress to stop stealing money from Social Security.
Not sure if I heard about this.  Source?
I want the USA to leave the UN. The security council is a joke.
