| Collapse all
- Alaskans face the greatest economic & environmental challenge in modern times today with the ongoing destruction of our oceans by Bottom Trawlers. Trawling Bycatch has stolen millions of pounds of fish from our oceans as waste, decimated the ocean floor, and eliminated subsistence fishing in many communities.
Corporate greed has led to class warfare - taking your ability to provide for yourself, forcing you to purchase their product wrapped in plastic. These billion-dollar corporations prepared floating factories that rip along the floor of the ocean, to sell their catch in international markets.
We must end Bycatch. We will outlaw Bottom Trawling in the United States. - Housing has been a driving factor in the ongoing struggle with inflation. Another instance of corporate warfare and never-ending greed, venture capital has taken advantage of their deep pockets to purchase single family homes. This denies our citizens their ability to purchase property, one of the most important factors leading to financial freedom. Additionally, corporations have used software to manipulate high rent prices and create monopolistic pricing for renters. These practices are not indicative of a free market. Regulating who owns single family housing will help alleviate some of these issues. I propose resolution banning corporations from owning single family properties.
- Our elected leaders have failed every generation of Americans with their flippant dismissal of Social Security's insolvency. Many retirees face a possibility of losing the benefits they have been taxed on for decades, in as little as a decade. This is theft. Younger Americans face the possibility of never receiving the benefit at all. We seem to have an endless supply of tax dollars for foreign wars, but not enough left over to ensure our people are taken care of. We need to refocus on the primary purpose of government - protect the people. I believe Social Security (and all government benefits) should be allowed only to American Citizens. Additionally, revenue streams to refund Social Security will need to be addressed.
