I'm FOR the Green Amendment which means I'm for protecting our environment -- You don't shit where you eat. Regardless of what you think, we won't exist much longer unless we clean up and protect our air, water and soil. That means sacrifice.
I'm FOR the protection of wildlife.
I'm AGAINST corporate money in our elections -- any amount of money. One person, one vote. Corporate money means that corporate management gets extra votes.
I'm FOR public schools and public libraries.
I'm FOR standards, in almost everything. Establish agencies that create those standards and keep them up-to-date.
I'm FOR National Parks and Forests. There are many things more important than making money.
I'm FOR consequences. I'm also FOR forgiveness and recognition of reform. So, I'm FOR minimum sentences for most crimes including misdemeanors. I don't believe that punishment deters but I think criminals have to pay for their crimes. Crimes against children, elders, the disabled, the homeless, animals and other groups that may have difficulty protecting themselves should have more severe consequences.
I'm AGAINST corporate ownership of residential property.
I'm AGAINST foreign ownership of residential property.
I'm FOR limits on ownership of residential property. I haven't worked out details but an individual should not be able to own more residential property than they can live in. Maybe once a quarter, so 4 residences or one property per offspring, so if there are 6 kids, 8 properties; one for each living parent and each living child. But, the property has to become the child's when 25.
I'm FOR term limits for federal elected officials. Maybe 3 7 year terms; that's 21 years of service; a career, total, not switching positions. And, I'm FOR a Citizen's recall mechanism whereby Citizens can petition for removal; not just constituency but Citizen's from everywhere because most elected officials sit on committees that affect the entire country.
I'm FOR exile as a sentence for elected officials who commit high crimes and misdemeanors and treason; permanent exile.
I'm FOR the death penalty for crimes against children and other groups with shaky protections and for particularly gruesome crimes. Acknowledging that punishment does not deter crime but death removes the worst criminals from existence and prevents them from future crimes.
I'm FOR Universal Healthcare with a comprehensive roster of coverage that cannot be denied. The base of funds would be a combination of employer, patient and public funds.
I'm FOR limiting wealth by taxing income - and assets - above a certain level. We've seen the result of extreme wealth preventing Citizens from having more and influencing those without ethics.
I'm FOR defining a basic decent American life and preventing anything from preventing that from developing.
I'm FOR limiting welfare and other public assistance by time, amount and criteria. More on that later.
I'm FOR immigration with a clear, well-defined process, criteria and assistance including steps for assimilations
I'm FOR strict laws, criteria and consequences for coyotes and other for-profit facilitators of illegal immigration.
I'm FOR changes in the oaths of office for federal elected officials and daily repetitions of their responsibilities. A pledge of allegiance to the flag is, clearly, insufficient.
I'm FOR minimum national income tax that cannot be eliminated by any means. If you're a Citizen, you need to contribute to funds to run things. However:
I'm also FOR exemptions of the minimum national income tax for everyone under the age of 18 and over the age of 65, permanently. A child and a senior can become wealthy without paying into the tax base unless or until their circumstances change.
I'm also FOR the acceptance of the tax burden of family members by other family members and tax reform to follow those exchanges.
I am also FOR holding parents and adult children of family members who are unable to care for themselves responsible for up to half of the expenses of their family members; the rest of us are not entirely responsible for their family members.
