Big Money Interests Have Distorted The Narrative My Principles 1. All Americans are entitled to dignified treatment from their government.
2. America isn’t racist.
3. Wealth flows up, it doesn’t trickle down.
4. Authentic politics is about facing challenges, not amplifying personal beliefs.
Labor A Livable Wage We are living in a time in our country where the gap between working people and the wealthy owners is unimaginably wide. Corporations are raking in record profits while regular people in our state are struggling greatly to get by. People working for large, profitable corporations should not be making $7.25/hour, the current minimum wage. My plan is to introduce a two-tiered minimum wage: $15/hour for corporate employees and a lower one for small businesses so that they don’t face an onerous burden from labor costs. Henry Ford knew that paying his employees a decent wage would increase the demand for the cars he was making. We have lost sight of that philosophy and need to start doing right by our wage workers. They are the ones who drive a healthy economy. A Right to a Union As Americans we have a lot of rights. Unfortunately, we do not have the economic rights that are greatly needed in this time of rising economic inequality. One of those rights is the ability to freely associate with your coworkers in order to bargain with your employer for better pay and working conditions. I’m part of the national labor movement that is seeking to amend our Constitution to guarantee people the right to join a union. This would end union busting, like we’ve seen from Starbucks, and empower workers in their struggle for a fair workplace. Paid leave Families should receive paid time off when they have a new child, but in the US they are not guaranteed any time at all. New moms in Canada receive 119 days of paid leave, and moms in Germany receive 98. American mothers must receive at least 100 days of paid leave after the birth of a child. Sick pay must be provided to all workers. It can be provided by the government if not offered as a job benefit by the employer. Families Low-income housing The involvement of large banks in our housing market has increased rapidly over the course of the 21st century. Incredibly, there are 18 unoccupied homes for every homeless person in our country. Yet many people are barely able to afford their rent, let alone take the step to purchase a home. I believe in private property rights and do not believe vacant homes should be bought by the government, even to pursue a noble social agenda. The point to bear in mind is that the goal of the housing market is to maximize revenues for developers and landlords. Therefore, it is up to the public to elect the leaders who will strive to end homelessness and provide affordable housing. Free markets will never accomplish these things. There are many ways to fight the housing affordability crisis, and they all may be necessary given the severity of the crisis. First would be a ban on corporate ownership of residential properties. Second is a crackdown on ownership of residential properties by wealthy foreign investors and those who don’t live in the same state as the property (anti-slumlord legislation). Third is responsible monetary policy that is meant to sustain good growth, not fuel asset bubbles and induce booms, because after every boom there is a bust. Fourth is to secure our borders in order to stop illegal immigration. Illegal immigration greatly increases housing costs, which is a documented fact that Democrat legislators have continued to deny. All five of the above would fight against the upward trend of rent and home prices. But even if those measures were all enacted, further help to renters would be needed through the construction of low-income housing. Such housing would need to be done in a way that it doesn’t hurt local housing prices. Shelter is a basic need and comfortable, functional, and affordable housing must be available to every American citizen. I have no ties whatsoever to the real estate development industry and can pledge my loyalty to the common people on this pressing issue. Child Tax Credits Children in our country shouldn’t have to suffer just because of the mistakes or shortcomings of their parents. During the COVID pandemic parents received monthly tax credits for their children of $300 to $350 per month. Studies showed this reduced child poverty by over 40%. These benefits are received whether or not the parents work, so they have none of the negative effects of the old welfare system. These child tax credits were one of the most popular pieces of the government’s COVID response. Rightfully so, in my opinion, as taking steps to end child poverty is a worthy goal. The credits were not just helpful to the children themselves, either. Social scientists say that arguments over finances are the leading cause of marriage problems. Fighting poverty within young families will reduce the pressure they face and lead to a society with fewer individuals with character issues and dysfunctional behavior. Ending hunger There’s really no way for people to be guaranteed of receiving the nutrition they need every week unless that guarantee comes from the government. I’ve had experience with hunger and it’s a trauma that creates a scar. The cost of eliminating hunger within our borders would be very small and prevent a lot of mental distress and embarrassment. Any work requirement for SNAP benefits needs to go. People have to be assured of their access to nutritious food to have a real sense of security.[1] |
