I want a long term comprehensive energy strategy aligned with global powers and partnership to accelerate the growth of alternative energy for not just pollution concerns, but for global economic reasons, long term. No longer should oil barons be driving global energy policy, like puppet masters with the world on a string.

I want a US tax plan that doesn't let companies like Amazon write off a bunch of jibber jabber and pay zero taxes, while all of their employees are paying between 15%-50% of their income in taxes. I want a US tax plan that doesn't allow multi-millionaires to pay zero income tax due to the code that allows them to simply depreciate their assets on paper to avoid tax liability, while people who actually work for the money (90%+ of people) have no such tax shelters available to them.

I want a national drug enforcement policy that helps people instead of locking them up. Decades of policy research shows this is more effective and cheaper to do, and obviously helps people more than it hurts them.

I want an immigration policy that allows children illegally brought to this country through no fault of their own to have a straight-forward non-political path to permanent citizenship. This is the only country they've ever known. Their friends, families, and careers are here. They are part of the fabric of our American family. Using them as a bargaining chip for politics is disgusting. Just naturalize them, and move on.

I want a minimum wage that a small humble family can actually live on, even if meagerly. It will incentivize people to get off public assistance and actually work for a living. Who would go to work for $8 an hr when the welfare benefits exceed that, to do nothing? Make the minimum wage actually work for people, and help eliminate welfare with a hand-up rather than a hand-out.

I want a safety net social security system that isn't just a safety net, but a trampoline, that allows people to bounce back in many cases. Social Security must be bolstered up and made whole again. The SS budget must be balanced, and this will require a combination of means testing, some tax hikes, and some tax cuts. You say wealth redistribution, I say tomato. It's an investment required for a stable and prosperous society.

I want bolstered workers rights that protect workers who are fired without cause (layoff, reduction in force) to be guaranteed a fair severance. If all companies were forced to do this, it wouldn't create any competitive disadvantages because they are all playing by the same rules. I want pension options in addition to stock-based 401k offerings that typically are only affordable for upper-middle income earners.

I want free community college and trade programs for all, regardless of age or background. sure it would cost billions, but it would be offset by the billions in gray money spent to deal with problems caused by an uneducated and untrained national domestic workforce.

I have decided to vote Biden- Change My Mind

quote:

I want everyone to be entitled to what would become forced labor of those in the medical field. I want to strip employer-provided healthcare choices from 180M Americans because 20M Americans (the largest segment of whom choose not to) don't have health insurance. I want a hostile takeover of nearly 20% of the economy to be run by a government organization that has proven it can't even manage the Veterans Administration health program efficiently.

I want to ransom US sovereignty and energy independence so the snooty kids on the playground will like us, even though literally NOTHING the United States can do with respect to environmental policy/regulation amounts to anything until China and India decide they're going to make sweeping changes, since they produce the lion's share of global pollution.

I want a US tax plan that punishes achievement, because I am in profound denial of the basic psychological principle that you get more of the behavior you reward and less of the behavior you punish. Financial compensation = reward for work/capital/investment. I similarly refuse to acknowledge that no one ever gets a job from some schlub on welfare.

I want a national drug enforcement policy that helps people instead of locking them up. Decades of policy research shows this is more effective and cheaper to do, and obviously helps people more than it hurts them. (I actually agree with you on the drug thing, so you get a pass here, Rig).

I want an immigration policy that incentivizes illegal aliens to use their children as bargaining chips to continue their reign of terror on the American taxpayer by overburdening US citizens. I want to reward illegal behavior and encourage wholesale disregard for the rule of law in this country.

I want a minimum wage that guarantees that any lifestyle will be attainable at any job. I do not understand economics. In fact, I can't even keep a family of Sims alive on my computer.

I want a safety net social security system reinforces my previously-established inability to understand economics. I believe the federal government is a better trustee with retirement money that those individuals who earned the money in the first place. I think the government has an outstanding track record with finances, and I believe that those who earn a living should have a portion of that income taken from them at the point of a gun, under penalty of imprisonment to give it to those who made awful life decisions. Surely they'll learn how to fish this time, right?

I am too dense to understand that while there was a time and place for labor unions, I cannot grasp the fact that they are a relic of a bygone era, much like buggy whip manufacturers. I do not trust my own ability to determine my worth in a free market, and need mob rule to make me feel secure in my position in the workplace.

I want free shite. An army of Gender Studies graduates will surely pay off in the long run.


I have more issues, but I need my crayons and graham crackers.
