In reply to the discussion: "We Don't Need Two Wall Street Parties" Markos responds to Third Way attack at Politico. [View all]Auntie Bush
(17,528 posts)"To win a party victory, we need to be a lot more clear about what we stand for and what we will fight for if America gives us a majority to work with.
Let me mention a few that should be on that list in some form:
- An end to the unlimited data collection by the NSA, and real laws, not just Presidential orders, that include protections of the peoples' privacy as an inherent part of any data collection
- No reduction in social security benefits, period.
- Elimination of the loopholes that allow our most profitable corporations to pay no taxes. Not just that, but a return to the situation of 50 years ago where cor"porations and the wealthy paid their fair share of the cost of having a modern society.
- Elimination of incentives to move jobs overseas, new incentives for creation of jobs employing Americans, elimination of work visas in any industry where there are unemployed Americans qualified to do those jobs
- Completion of the work to get health care coverage for all Americans
- Solid goals for carbon reduction and a move to a renewable energy economy
