| Collapse all
- I'm committed to addressing the environmental and humanitarian crisis. We MUST facilitate a society that will be sustainable for the coming generations, and we need to guarantee access to food, water, shelter, and healthcare. I refuse to accept narratives that we can't afford to provide these things when there's nothing frugal about our approach to economics. Our government is 125% in debt, and if the goal is to print money that doesn't exist, then why can we never find the ink to print it for those in need? Money is literally no object. What we can't afford is to keep allowing people to go hungry, homeless, and uninsured.
- Wealth taxes will be a major initiative of my legislation. We need a more variable taxation system, designed to target those who possess more wealth.
Take property tax for example. If you own 1 property worth less than $1 million, then you should pay substantially less property taxes. If you own 2 or 3 properties, you should be paying more, increasing exponentially from there. 6+ being very excessive taxes. Conglomerates like Blackrock would have crippling property taxes, and would be forced to offload their units.
We can also have variable corporate taxes, allowing small businesses to operate tax free, while taxing billion dollar companies well above the current rate of 21%. - I will push for a ranked choice voting system that empowers voters to choose the candidate that appeals to them most. If a voter is able to make multiple choices, then they can vote for their favorite candidate with their 1st pick, then use their 2nd and 3rd picks on other candidates they like. If your 1st pick doesn't end up being popular enough, you then defer to your next choice that was able to pick up more traction. This will increase the viability of 3rd party candidates, and more political parties will emerge that can consistently compete with the 2 main parties.
-Healthcare reform
-Wealth Taxes
-Managing military spending
-Environmental Reform
-Prison reform
I am a candidate of true reform. I see a lot of things our country does politically that needs to change, and I have a wealth of ideas on how to do it. Not every change is an improvement, but every improvement is a change. We have to try different things in order to see what works, because we can be certain that our current system is broken.
