Economic:
- Consumption/sales tax of 7.5%, with an exception for those making below $25,000 a year
- Taxes: 25.4(+7.0) cents per gallon and 30.4(+6.0) cents per gallon for diesel fuel
- Raising federal minimum wage to $10.10
- Healthy Americans Act
- Negotiate sanctions on China until they put pressure on North Korea to release political prisoners and liberalize, presenting a united front with Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, India, Russia, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, and the European Union
- https://budget.house.gov/uploadedfiles/wydenryan.pdf
- Support further foreign aid to Rojava, Peshmerga, and the Syrian National Council, as well as consider temporary aid to Tahrir al-Sham to weaken Assad
- 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: 12.5%
3: 25%
4: 35.0%
5: 40.0%
6: 44.5%
(All hikes equal on the respective and corresponding brackets of married couples, single people, etc.)
- Cut all welfare besides food stamps and HUD assisted housing funding
- 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 over a three year period after they cross the line of $20,000 per year; states are allowed to give further funding of a basic income*
- Increase NASA budget to $184,000,000,000**
- Support renewable energy subsidies and carbon tax
- Replace PP funding with funding local, governmental women's health centers
- Change pennies to being worth two cents(Businesses/private transactions round down, taxes round up)
- Re-instate Glass-Steagall
- Ban people with ties to big businesses from lobbying, writing, or otherwise being involved in 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.


*To summarize, everyone making less than $20,000 will be given enough money up until they have $20,000. Once they make more than that, they will receive $5,000 for three years straight, at which point no more funds will be provided.
**This increase of money is to mostly fund manned missions to Mars and the Moon.

No. Some parts I like, especially the second and third to last provisions. But the free trade agreement is bad.

I support the sanctions/united front with China, the expanded trade deals, the consumption tax, the lobbying ban, the cuts to welfare, and the two cent penny. All the other things are a no-go for me. Also, that NASA budget increase is ridiculously large.
