Tom Tancredo For President Brochure

ABOUTTOMTANCREDO Dear Friend, There are nearly twenty million illegal aliens in the country today and between now and the next presidential election millions more will cross our borders, threatening our economic security and undermining our national culture. While our brave soldiers fight to protect us around the world, our political elites lack the courage to defend us at home. They surrender our sovereignty to interests loyal to other countries and corporations loyal to none. I’m running for president to win back our sovereignty, our identity, and our destiny. As president, I’ll secure our borders, deport illegal aliens, and prosecute the companies who hire them. And I’ll veto any bill that grants amnesty to illegal immigrants. Join me, and win this struggle for America’s future. This is our culture; fight for it. This is our flag; pick it up. This is our country; take it back.

TAXES Replace the complex and unfair income tax scheme with a flat tax or national sales tax. 3 Simplify the process with a flat tax or a national sales tax (this latter plan presupposes repealing the 16th amendment) and dramatically reduce the cost of compliance for all Americans 3 Streamline the system to make American companies more competitive and put billions back into the economy HEALTHCARE Create billions in savings with tort reform and immigration control. 3 In California alone, illegal immigrants cost the healthcare system $800 million annually and have forced 84 hospitals to close Promote Association Health Plans (AHPs) which band small businesses together to access lower cost insurance coverage. 3 Expand coverage to an estimated 8.5 million currently uninsured 3 Save small business owners up to 25% on health insurance Reduce costs through drug re-importation (e.g., from Canada)
