So disillusioned with the country. Where we are.

24. There is a very simple, proven solution to this...

Tax.
The.
Rich.

The party slogan should be EXACTLY WORD FOR WORD:
"We want to make the rich poorer and the poor more comfortable."

In practice, we need to talk about strengthening the social security promises and safety nets at the same time we RAISE THE FLOOR for what it means to be an "American".

Top marginal bracket should be 91% and any cuts should be to the bottom up, not the top down.

Billionaires should NOT exist, period. There is no justifiable situation to explain or justify Jeff Bezos while he operates a virtual monopoly and slavery operation to squeeze performance from people without commensurate compensation as a percentage of the gross in-take... Millionaires should be paying Eisenhower-level taxes, but billionaires should be taxed out of existence, period.

Corporations should be beholden to their communities in a symbiotic relationship where the corporation benefits and out-sized profits are repaid to the shareholders, the board and executives AND the staff and line-level employees WITH the local communities in a virtuous cycle instead of extracted from them in a vicious cycle and hoarded by the top 0.1% of the country.

Politicians should be chosen BY the voters, not the other way around through gerrymandering and nonsense. Additionally, the right to vote is primary in this system of governance - it should be universally available to all registered voters online, by mail, in person or via any means that makes the ability to cast a ballot easier and more universally available.

Congress should be reconfigured to reflect the economic reality of the country and NOT the currently out-sized representation of the millionaires only. There should be an economic salary cap applied to the parties and they should have to find and run candidates across the entire economic and political spectrum.

Money is NOT speech and corporations are NOT people - at not until an entire corporate board is imprisoned and stripped of all wealth in retribution for the practices of said corporations...campaigns also must be shrunk in size, scope and length to no more than 30 days prior to a primary and 45 days prior to a general. Violations are to be handled harshly and promptly.

Candidates for public office do not retain privacy rights to their financial dealings and crimes. No tax returns? No ballot access. EVER.

Healthcare is a RIGHT, not a profit-center. And if that means nationalized research and development alongside single payer system, then so be it. Make. It. Happen.
