Tax the Rich!

Most Americans don't realize that taxes are a central component of what makes America great. Regarding billionaires specifically, it is important to understand that if someone has too much capital, it upsets the balance of a capitalist society. There are rich people in every society that want to out-compete the government, hoard resources and buy huge amounts of land. In America, these folks are limited from doing so because they will have to pay exorbitant property taxes on that land. That is the whole point. This simple principle prevents the rich from hoarding too much wealth and taking advantage of people. Taxes were supposed to protect the majority and prevent the ultra-rich from dominating society.

Universal Healthcare

A typical American's ability to access healthcare and health insurance for themselves and their family is generally the deciding factor in how they live their lives and what type of career they are able to pursue. Many briliant Americans never get the chance to create their own businesses and pursue their dreams because they have to play it safe and maintain a job that provides them with benefits.

Enforce the Rule of Law

America has increasingly become a corrupt and lawless nation. We need to hire more cops and increase their pay. We also need to enforce higher ethical standards on cops Americans that flout the laws of the land need to be held accountable, and judges need to do a better job of sentencing criminals. Violent criminals should not be released early because they behaved well when they were locked up.

Crackdown on Illegal Employers

I have personally signed roughly 1,000 I-9 documents in my lifetime when I have hired someone... and I have never knowingly hired an illegal alien. That is the point of the I-9 document. The "immigration problem" in America is primarily a byproduct of wealthy Americans not following basic labor laws. That we go to illegal employers' businesses and arrest the undocumented folks instead of the hiring managers is wrong and un-American.

Fight The Class War

Rich people and their Nepo Babies are living the high life while Americans squabble over cultural and ideological values on facebook. We need to fight back against phony rich people and money-worshippers. Americans must continue to fight to dismantle the modern American Oligarchy as we know it today, and level the playing field.

Support Family Farms

The corporatization of the farming industry has had a negative impact on American's health an has hung family farms out to dry. This is having a negative affect on rural communities around the country and fueling division within our nation.

Support Organized Labor

The American middle class was built by the organized labor movement. The regression of workers rights over the last 40 years has left young Americans in a bad spot, and unionizing and protecting the lowest-paid and most marginalized workforces in our nation would go a long way towards making America a greater nation.

Crackdown on Police Corruption

Many Americans are disillusioned by the extremism they have experienced within the law enforcement community. I have personally been the victim of police corruption on multiple occasions, and am well aware of how damaging dishonest cops are to society. Police officers should not be allowed to drive around drunk and behave violently without being punished. The "professional courtesy" of letting fellow officers commit crimes has sowed public distrust, especially amongst folks who have witnessed or experienced harsh enforcement.
