- Free trade agreement with the United Kingdom, India, Australia, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, France, Germany, Israel, Ireland, Argentina, and (hopefully) all of the European Union

Current tax brackets:
1: 5%
2: 20%
3: 29.5%
4: 33.3%
5: 37.5%
6: 44.5%
(All hikes equal on the respective and corresponding brackets of married couples, single people, etc.)
- Cut all welfare besides food stamps
- Guarantee basic income of up to $20,000, as a supplement for other income(if there is any), and for those who make below that and work above it, they will continue to receive $5,000->$3,000->$1,000 in a three year period after they cross the line of $20,000 per year; states are encouraged to give further funding of a basic income

- Re-instate Glass-Steagall
- Ban big businesses from writing regulatory legislation or regulations
- Replace Andrew Jackson with Martin Luther King, Jr., and Alexander Hamilton with James Madison


I believe this covers most things, except for the military and the Federal Reserve. I'm not completely sure, but I believe this also gives a balanced budget.

- Decriminalize soft drugs
- Reduce the sentences of all non-violent, non-dealers in drug offenses to community service of six months or less(push for this to be a law)
- Support abolishing the death penalty on a state level
- Oppose all federal anti-discrimination legislations
- Fight pet mills


Foreign Policy:
- Support for the Powell Doctrine
- Fund Syrian Kurds and the National Council, demand ceasefire between them and Assad until ISIS is defeated
- Ally with India, Israel, Ukraine, NATO-Turkey, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Iraq, Lebanon(?), Egypt(?), Thailand, Afghanistan, Morocco, Tunisia, Syrian National Council, Kurdistan
- Oppose Iran Deal
- Support lifting embargo on Cuba, but only for further human rights concessions, the release of political prisoners, and the deportation of criminals back to America
- Staunchly support Paris Climate Deal
- Support Russia over China if necessary
- Pull away from China economically, move towards India


Have I missed any major foreign policy, economic, or social issues?

My platform can be summed up into three very simple - though mildly imposing - measures that will create so much goodness:

1) Make people have more money
2) Make things more like the way they used to be
3) Make everybody else in the world love each other
