WINFIELD POIROT  

My fellow Atlasians, after much soul searching, I have made the decision to run for President of Atlasia, again.

I come before you today, as one tested in the political wars, as one battered and bruised in the political trenches, and as one who has experienced the thrill of victory as well as the agony of defeat.

I stand before you today to appeal to you for your votes.

Ya got no jobs

Your schools are a mess

You're living in poverty

What have ya got  to lose by voting for me?

What          have ya got          to lose?

As your President, I will not stand idly by and do nothing while the top 1% controls 48% of the wealth in this nation.

Anyone who controls 48% of the national wealth can afford to pay much more in tax than they are paying now.

We have Hollywood actors getting paid 20 million dollars for a movie.

Anyone making 20 million dollars a movie can afford to pay much more in tax than they are paying now.

We have professional athletes getting paid, in some cases, 20 million dollars a season, some much more.

Anyone making 20 million dollars a season can afford to pay much more in tax than they are paying now.

We have 21st century robber barons on Wall Street sitting at their 50,000 dollar desks, wearing their 5,000 dollar suits, getting paid 10 million a year, 20 million a year, in some cases much more, taking their multi million dollar a year bonuses.

You will remember in 2008 the tax payers bailed out Wall Street to the tune of multi billions of dollars.  Where did millions upon millions of these taxpayer dollars go?  Right into the pockets of multi million dollar a year executives for their salary and for their bonuses, that's where.

Anyone making that kind of money can afford to pay much more in tax than they are paying now.

The income of Corporate Atlasia will be thoroughly reviewed and audited to ensure they are paying their fair share of tax. These corporations, who have benefitted so greatly from doing business in Atlasia, will have to pay their share of tax.  If they are not paying enough, they will have to pay more.

I will close tax loopholes and off shore tax havens for the wealthy.

My focus is on the poor, the working class and the middle class.  

I will not stand idly by while the struggling classes, good, honest, hard working, tax paying members of our society are burdened with tax while the very rich do not pay their fair share.

I propose a very radical redistribution of the tax structure in this nation, so the poor, the working class and middle class have more discretionary income, and the rich and super rich have less.

As President, I will launch the largest, most extensive public works program in the history of this nation.

My "Shovels In The Ground Trucks On The Road" policy will be designed to revitalize the Atlasian infrastructure, which will have very positive effects on getting the economy humming, while at the same time modernizing and upgrading the infrastructure.

We will create where necessary and modernize where necessary a cost effective system of roads, highways, bridges, railroads, public transit, tunnels.

We will modernize airports, air traffic control systems, seaports, waterways.

We will create state of the art pipelines to deliver our products to ports for export.

We will create modernized and efficient coal export facilities.

We will not let the coal workers of Atlasia be forgotten.

We will use Atlasian materials made by Atlasian workers in this massive project.

My "Shovels In The Ground Trucks On The Road" policy will create millions of well paying new jobs for Atlasians.

My "Shovels In The Ground Trucks On The Road" policy will make Atlasia more competitive on the world economic stage, will increase wages for Atlasian workers, will reduce the cost of goods and services for Atlasian consumers.  

We will as well undertake a revitalization and upgrading of schools and hospitals where necessary, and as needed, we will undertake the construction of new schools and hospitals.  

We want our people to have the best education and the best medical treatment available.

In keeping with my populist policies, I am seeking a Vice Presidential running mate by going directly to the people.

Anyone up to the challenge?

Forward together.

I am pleased to announce that Poirot will join me on the ticket as the candidate for Vice President.

Poirot is a man of incredible integrity and tremendous ability who has served Atlasia well and who will continue to work hard for the benefit of all Atlasians as Vice President.

Poirot has a fine record in public service as a member of the Northeast Assembly, and as the Speaker of the Northeast Assembly.

Poirot has also served as a member of the Northeast Election Law Codification Commission.

Poirot has as well shown his commitment to the service of Atlasians as having been a candidate for Governor of the Northeast, as a Senate candidate, as a previous candidate for President, and as a previous candidate for Vice President of Atlasia.  

Poirot has been awarded the President Griffin Founding Fathers Bronze Star Award for his dedication to policy matters within Atlasia's deliberative bodies and for his tireless advocacy of being allowed to hold federal office.

Poirot has been on the ticket once previously with me, and I enthusiastically welcome him to the ticket again, and thank him for his willingness to serve.

Thank you Winfield for selecting me to be your Vice-Presidential candidate.

Winfield will make a terrific President. He is a proven leader, he is determined, he is smart. Being President he will not lose sight of the goal to improve the lives of ordinary people. He will be there for the people, not because he was backed by one of the major political parties.

It is an honor to be on the same ticket as such an accomplished and compassionate man. 

Try voting for Winfield / Poirot. What have ya got to lose?

That would be one year ago, February 2016. I guess it's back due to popular demand.
