1. Enforce anti-trust on giant corporations. This would allow for more competition in industry.
2. Rebuild the unions and roll back "right-to-work laws". Stronger unions = fairer pay for the workers.
3. Think out a way to get the wealth down from the one percent to the masses.
4. Invest in education. Free college for starters.
5. Invest in science. Fusion, green energy and space exploration!
6. Single payer healthcare. Healthcare shouldn't ruin anyones life.
