Bush is pushing for the most radical and progressive..

""If I am elected, I will propose <insert IRS elimination plan here> to the Congress on the first day they are in session.

But I specifically addressed this in one of my points. No single man running for national office can promise much of anything.
That''s by design.
No single man IN office SHOULD be able to change much of anything. The country is - or rather, was designed to be - run by commitee and concensus, not by executive order.

The presidential candidate can''t promise you any actual change. The only thing he can promise is to write/present a bill for Congress to consider. I don''t WANT the president to have the power to change the way the country runs, and that''s not how the office was intended. The president is to the congress as the police chief is to city council. He is supposed to oversee(administrate) the implementation of the (alleged) will of the people.
He is not supposed to impose his vision of the will of god/dog/odin/zeus/yahweh/allah/bob on the people. Hell, he''s not even supposed to be trying to figure out what the will of the people is. That''s what Congress is for, they are supposed to TELL the President what action items are on HIS list, not the other way around.(Granted, the budget is an important deviation here, and the one place I feel that the Great Administrator does and should have some leeway, but it''s the only place. Congress still has to approve/modify it, as it should be.)

If enough people voted for Bush based on this promise, it would give him a mandate and put some re-election pressure on the Congress. They want to keep their jobs just as much as the rest of us.
