Obama can only claim to be socialist (I don't know where you lot gets this claim from, he's a freaking liberal!), if he creates a NHS style health care service for everyone and starts to subsidise higher education.

But anyway, you lot may not like it, but you have to raise taxes for everyone, especially the rich. I say a maximum of 50% on earnings over a million dollars (up from apparently 40%). The Obama administration must also fix any tax loopholes and punish any tax avoiders/ frauders. America can't afford any more tax cuts, she is falling apart at the seams.

End the war in Afghanistan and hand over any foreign military base to the country it's in (that should save a few billion).

pretty much end what Bush did in his 8 years

Higher education is already subsidized for public Colleges/Universities. 

New tax code: Flat tax. One page. Not thousands. No loopholes, just one rate for everyone. I can think of nothing more fair.

it's still among the most expensive higher education in the world ($30000 a year and up!). But, I would of said free HE, but USA can't afford it currently. 

How much is this "flat tax"?

The old saying "You get what you pay for" comes to mind, but higher education is subsidized as a result of prison costing upwards of 50k per inmate per year. (There is a declination of crime the higher the education).

How much is fair for a flat tax? I'd argue the middle of the road tax rates on income should be applied across the board (including stocks). I think it's around 20%.
