Give US back our Country!!
BAN private campaign finance
No more individual or corporate donations, PERIOD. Political candidates can be funded EQUALLY by a publicly funded Election Commission. Government will no longer be in the back pockets of wealthy companies. No more special interest groups!
RESTRICT time spent on political campaigns
Politicians don't have to campaign for a year and a half or more on the taxpayers tab - they need to be working!! The system spent almost $4.5B on the last cycle, and it’s now forecasted to be $6.2B for the next cycle. Restrict it.
REDESIGN the tax code
Companies give politicians money and the politicians pay them back through tax breaks in the tax code. These tax rules are "gifts" to a select group of companies and
people. SCRAP it all! The income tax should be simple, minimal, but progressive (tax rates are higher the more money you make). Personal income from labor and investment should be treated the same. We should have a Value Added Tax (Yes, a consumption tax is regressive but it will serve to re-hash priorities in spending, saving, and investment) - such a tax should have an exemption for basic goods (eg., food and utilities) which would help rebalance our economy, while protecting those in need of basic necessities.
STOP the lying
The top people in the public sector (Fed, FDIC, SEC, Treasury etc.,) and in the private sector (CEOs under whose watch fraud was propagated) who created this
mess should resign. WE CANNOT just "Move On" unless officials are held fully responsible and our system is purged. The revolving doors of employment between government and the private sector has to stop - the watchdogs of Wall Street and corporate America too often become their lapdogs, afraid to upset those who will take care of them generously after they leave government. Make lying perjury.
CLEAN up the mortgage mess
Banks need to recognize their mortgage losses, and deal with the consequences of their bad investment decisions. The federal government needs to get out of the business of guaranteeing mortgages. GOVT HAS TO INSURE BANK DEPOSITS, MAKING BANKS GOVT AGENTS FOR PUBLIC PURPOSE. IF HOME OWNERSHIP SUITS PUBLIC PURPOSE, THE GOVT SHOULD FUND IT AT THE TARGET RATE AND TERMS THAT SERVE PUBLIC PURPOSE.
SHAKE UP the banking system
Transparency everywhere!! Restrict the size of public banks and they won't be "Too Big to Fail". Banks & Brokers that take in public deposits should not be allowed to risk YOUR money to trade. Implement the Volcker rule (bans speculation by banks that does not benefit customers) in strict fashion.
