One of the big challenges is how to deal with the growing homeless population in America. I have a policy where my tax free Universal Basic Income would give them enough money to rent housing and have food. However, those that take this #BasicIncome are not allowed to be #homeless anymore. Some call this policy too authoritarian, but others say it's time to apply tough love to the homeless--that it's time to clean up our streets, some which are scattered with tents, needles, and feces, making them comparable to conflict zones.

Friends and adversaries of mine keep telling me the poor pay more in US taxes than the rich. This is totally untrue. In dollar terms, the rich and moderately rich are carrying this nation on their backs (just look at any Gov stat). The top 25% foot the tax bill for a large part of the service Gov provides to you. The amount the poor and bottom 75% of Americans would not be able to keep government, social services, and this nation running. We shouldn't forget this. When comparing tax rates, we must always remember tax percentage terms are different than dollar amounts. Dollar amounts are what matter and make the world go around--what buys you food, puts gas in your car, and allows you to buy Christmas presents for your family. Tax percentages don't do that--only actual dollars do. Over time, I endorse getting rid of the IRS and replacing Government with technology and automation. The result would be far lower taxes, if any. If I was to get into office soon, I'd cut nearly all taxes and implement a single national sales taxes to help us get to a taxless world where robots and automation run the Gov. Then no one could get percentages and dollar amounts mixed up because we all pay the same percentage. In the meantime, be grateful that the rich (both Democrats and Republicans) pay so many dollars to Uncle Sam. And stop creating this nonsense that the poor pay more in taxes than the rich. They pay far less in actual dollar terms, which is the thing the makes world go round. #UpgradingAmerica #Zoltan2020

One of the main goals of my Presidential campaign is to stop #transhumanism from being overwhelmed by #socialism. I don't think a lot of my friends really understand historically how badly socialism has failed, and how many millions have been killed because of it. Now more than ever with radical life extension within the grasp of our species, it's especially important to keep transhumanism moving forward through free markets. The transhumanist age has come about through innovators and freedom. We want to make sure the path is always free for people to innovate.

As President, I'd cut the military, cut foreign aid, and bring home many of our troops that are abroad. We have so many issues at home that need first priority: poverty, homelessness, education, health care, Basic Income, etc. If the potential of an Iran war bothers you, make noise. It's time to spend Government resources on Americans, and not on foreign fights in far off lands. Remember, I've been to many of these endless conflict places as a journalist for National Geographic. It never ends well. It's best to try to make peace. #UpgradingAmerica #Zoltan2020

I did a new 25-min interview with Jimmy Gene and EpicJourneyMan on #transhumanism, politics, China, basic income, and my presidential run. It went out on a radio show. Here's the audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrhVx... #UpgradingAmerica #Zoltan
