[QUOTE="804brown, post: 891619, member: 29553"] Some of my demands: - pass a constitutional amendment stating that corporations are not people - pass and implement a public financed electoral system - institute instant run off elections-where you have 3 picks; your first choice is green party, but they dont get 50% so your vote goes to 2 nd pick libertarian, but they dont get 50%, so it ultimately goes to the dems- now you can vote your conscience and it isnt wasted on a third party -allow more parties into the debates -implement Medicare-for-all- it is good enough for our parents why not everyone-why do we have to argue with UPS or any corp over something that should be a right -bring home all our troops from every country they are presently in: close the 8oo bases in over 120 countries -end American imperialism -free public colleges -make the tax code simpler and fairer; go back to the days of more progressivity in the code; working poor 10%; middle class 20%; upper middle 30 % ; millionaires 35%; billionaires 40% -empower unions by passing card check -stop subsidizing dirty fuels (oil, gas, coal, and nuclear) ; tax these dirty fuels so alternative fuels canwin out (solar, wind, etc) -put a financial tax on evrey financial transaction; a penny on every transaction -re-regulate Wall st -mandate that a ceo cannot earn more than 10x the lowest paid employee -strive for a progressive moral vision and view of democracy that starts with citizens caring about one another and acting responsibly for one's family, community,country and planet as well as one's own self That would be a start to my manifesto. You can add to if you please!! [/QUOTE]
