THANK YOU TO ALL OF MY SUPPORTERS
Thank you for your vote on Tuesday, and thank you to all the people who made financial contributions, offered encouragement, and helped with nominating petitions, phone calls, flyers and other tasks. Running for Congress has been a great learning experience and a unique opportunity to develop and express new ideas about getting America to work right again.
Now that the campaign is over, I am thinking of starting a non-profit organization to continue pursuing some of my economic ideas. Let me know what you think, and I will post more information over the next few weeks.

A PRACTICALLY-PERFECT BUSINESS TAX
My strategy for bringing jobs and factories back to America involves replacing taxes that drive jobs away with better taxes that include incentives to employ workers in the U.S. My proposed replacement for most business taxes is described at
