- ENSURING THAT EVERY WORKER HAS A SAFE RETIREMENT SECURITY NEST EGG
-
As a result of recent corporate collapses, many workers have been left with near-worthless retirement savings accounts. To help prevent this from happening in the future, Congress needs to take action to give workers more diversification rights and better access to retirement savings advice.
- TERRORIST THREATS DICTATE CREATION OF HOMELAND SECURITY DEPARTMENT
-
Our federal government must create a unified structure capable of quickly responding to terrorist threats. The creation of this new Department of Homeland Security will be a massive undertaking but, if it is done right, it will make us safer.
- SIMPLIFYING OUR TAX CODE
-
Over the years our federal tax code has become overly complicated and burdensome, with the average taxpayer taking 14 hours just to complete his or her taxes. Congress needs to pass legislation to drastically simplify our tax code and make it easier for taxpayers to comply with tax regulations.
