I'm a little late, so here's my catch-up

January - flat tax of 20% on every person, every corporation. No loopholes. No exemptions. No more social engineering by means of the tax code.

February - Institute a new $2 per gallon tax on non-commercial gasoline. Taxes to go into a fund that is split between mass transit funding and grants for new transportation technology development. I know this is pretty contrary to most of my political leanings, but I earnestly believe that we need to move our economy off of an oil basis in order to remain competitive. The thought that a cartel of countries that hate us can fundamentally alter our economic strength keeps me awake at night.

March - School vouchers. Education is now a public obligation fulfilled through private innovation. Vouchers extend all the way up through 2 years of community college.

April - accidentally "forget" to renew the UN's lease in NYC. I don't mind if the petty despots and tyrants of the world gather to foment their tirades against the US. I mind that they do it on our soil.

May – Institue a new term limits policy. You may serve in an elected public office for one term. That’s not one term per office, that’s one term period. If you spend a term as mayor, you’re done. You have to go back to the private sector and make a real living after that. You may not run for state Senate, for Governor, President. You’re done. Go get a real job.

June – That all the children of the world would join together, holding hands, and sing for peace. Also, I want a million dollars.
