The First Thing You'd Do if You Were President

I would split the government into Three sectors for Tax purposes. Two of the sectors would be controlled by the 2 largest political parties and the third sector by a coalition of all remaining political parties. Every citizen would be required to belong to one of the 3 sectors.

Because National Defense is Paramount all citizens would pay into a Defense fund(this fund will only be for the military defense of the US not its allies or overseas interests)

Beyond that each sector would tax only the members of the sector and only for those things which they are interested in. This would promote competition between the sectors to keep taxes relatively low in order to retain members so pork spending would go bye bye. People who think a foriegn war is important would most likely join a tax sector that supports such action. People who think a ton of money thrown at education will fix its problems may join a sector that supports that. People who don't want the government spending money on anything may wish to join yet different sector.

Right now we have Rs and Ds trying to outspend each other and that can't be good for the country; With tax sectors implemented they would be competing to see who could spend the least instead of the most....and that can only be a good thing
