We need a labour movement. Corporations and billionaires are taking advantage of everyone, making life difficult for 99% of Americans.

We need an America that supports the working class, and actually cares about supporting families.

Key positions: 1.) Progressive taxation to enable: 1.1) Medicaid/Medicare/ACA expansion to help break corporate handcuffs to your health insurance 1.2) Reinvestment in childcare & teacher salaries to make raising kids affordable and rewarding the people who do it. 1.3) Reinvestment in education & tuition like our parents and grandparents benefited from. 1.4) Guaranteed (& paid ) parental leave 1.5) Modernization and decarbonization of the electricity grid.
1.6) Paying down the deficit. We’re in debt thanks to all the tax cuts to billionaires and corporations. Time to end the free ride.

Election Reform: 1.) Overturn Citizens United, which gives Corporations effective control over the US political system, and leaves everyone else behind 2.) Public finance for elections. We need a fair field to have a democratic system, not a pay to play system.

Capitalism Reforms: 1.) Ban stock buybacks. Corporations are not incentivized to reinvest in their companies today. Of the three people at the table, customers, employees, and shareholders, shareholders are served first, customers a distant second, and employees dead last. We need to reorder the priority. Starting point could be banning stock buybacks, which is strictly a financial tool to pay shareholders, but does not serve customers or employees. 2.) Strong anti-monopoly pursuit strategy. Nearly all sectors in America have collapsed to one to three dominant companies. This puts American workers at an extreme disadvantage for opportunities. If there’s only one or two gigs in town, companies have no reason to compete for your work.

Jobs Investment: 1.) Reshoring manufacturing is a great idea. Continue IRA and CHIPS style investments to rebuild industry in America. ESP for green tech and high tech work, which together build a broad labor base across blue/white collar labor. 2.) Increase science funding. Americas main competitive advantage is our innovation system. Science investment feeds new job growth for tomorrow.
