Your members of Congress have not done this, I will. I see America’s entrepreneurial spirit waning.

Dear Socialist Senator, everyone realizes that your proposal is purely for votes, and that in 32 years in Congress you have not changed tax laws (or healthcare, or education, or housing), AND that YOUR proposal will kill small businesses (which is most of Vermont).

I will work to enact actual legislation to increase competition and transparency, and look to revise FDA operations and patents.
