The Non “Not Obama” Candidate

September 17, 2014 By Debbie Young

Rather than running a political campaign of “Not Obama,” Republican candidates need to run on positive messages that will resonate with voters. The Cato Institute’s Richard Rahn lays out a laundry list of sensible, specific policy suggestions Republican candidates could run on that would be a breath of fresh air to voters.

  1. Does America really need to be #32 in tax competitiveness among industrialized countries? The U.S., with the highest corporate-income tax in the world, is driving investment, innovation and jobs out of the country.
  1. Most voters would be behind candidates who demanded an end to the practice of asset forfeiture. Asset forfeiture is the hallmark of an out-of-control government. A keen example would be delivering a real punishment to the IRS for its continued misdeeds.
  1. Most Americans recognize that excessive regulation is a clear drag on economic growth and job creation. Candidates need to properly address the need to make it easier for individuals and companies to challenge regulations that do not meet a reasonable cost-benefit standard. Reimbursement for legal and associated costs would also resonate well.
  1. Because of contradictory regulations, government agencies have been able to extract huge, unjustified fines from companies, especially banks. Candidates need to propose ending this hypocrisy and double standard.
