think you could stuff any more talking points into your post? I do agree with your progressive tax schedule for capital gains. BUT
for one, term limits by themselves would probably not do anything to help break the grip of corporations... they own the seats and would install a new puppet in gerrymandered districts with graft money with ease. Sort of like how the Kochs bought a whole movement, the teabaggers. Until money is limited in elections, term limits mean nothing.
And also, your desire to close gaps for "illegal businesses" is peanuts compared to the huge corps that pay no taxes. Takes a lot of backyard mechanics getting paid cash to make up for the corporate welfare that is one of the real problems of america right now. Immigrants work for chump change and don't take desirable jobs, they have been a foundation of our economy for 200 years. Ones brought in for IT jobs help make us stronger, since we don't educate as many high skilled people any more.
Or, just cut defense by 30-50% or so, spend half the savings on infrastructure and education here, and spend down some debt with the rest of the savings. Millions of living wage jobs would be created, with the main loss being to Raytheon execs, Halliburton, etc. big deal.
