Nov 2013

Here are some ideas to try to work on while we still operate in a Capitalist system.

Reign in DoD spending 90% - pull troops from overseas.
Reverse Citizen's United.
Negative income tax.
Universal Health care.
Progressive Taxation of Wealth.
100% inheritance tax over a certain threshold.
Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.
Nationalization of banking/insurance industries.

There is more we could do as well. These are just a few issues I care about.
