Robert David STEELE Vivas</p></div>
<p>Over the course of the past decade, as I have turned to non-fiction 
reading and reflections on integrity and intelligence, I have come to 
realize just how corrupt the US Government is at the political level, 
and how compliant the good people are that are trapped within a very bad
 system.</p>
<p>Below are the seven promises I would demand of anyone who aspires to 
be President of the United States of America.� I know of no one else who
 can credibly commit to these seven promises.</p>

<p>There is nothing here about confiscation of ill-gotten gains.� 
Confiscating all that money would be a waste of time because even if 
distributed it would be a few dollars for every poor person.� What 
matters is that we start doing the right things now.� In combination, 
the APT Tax and the eradication of the false inflated prices for the 75 
top drugs bought by Medicare (available for 1% of what we pay to those 
outside the USA) will wipe out the deficit, rebuild America, and fully 
fund an <a href="http://www.phibetaiota.net/2010/11/reference-open-source-agency-osa/" target="_blank">Open Source Agency</a> and a $250 billion a year Program 50 (Diplomacy &amp; Development).</p>
<p>I am looking for a Presidential candidate that will make these seven 
promises.� If one cannot be found, I am available and mobile.� What does
 it say about a country when not a single person now serving can 
credibly make these seven promises?</p>
