The only thing our government needs that it doesn't have is a Department of Peace. A Department dedicated to finding and implimenting peaceful solutions not just internationally but domestically also. A Department dedicated to thinking and working outside the box. To find solutions to such problems as how to discontinue the arms trade, bring peace between people at each others throat and even find ways to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons. That is one thing I intend to try to bring into being if I am elected to Congress.
On the same note, I think we have to reconfigure the National Security Council in such a way that it starts looking at and reporting on dangers to the nation from within.
I also have a good idea of how to fix the VA. Instead of cutting and blaming the people in the VA how about giving it the money and resources it needs to do the job. the fault is not within the VA but in congress.
I don't know about others but Income Tax is and was a tax on profits not on wages. Even the Supreme Court Jesters have said that. So how do we with all the financial games corporations play do we tax them? It's simple whatever they declare as a profit gets taxed at 35%. Budget problems solved.
We need to start another WPA to get the homeless, the out of work and not even being considered people back to work. We need to provide homes for the homeless, medicine for all and education for all. If Sweden or other nations can do it why can't we?
Above all we need someone with authority to bring charges against anyone who violates any of our rights either Constitutional or by Treaty. this should be a civilian agency that can and will investigate and bring charges against the government or civilian violators. Deliberate violation of rights should be a automatic two years in jail and a million dollar fine for each offense. If a CEO or government official knew of such violations and did not do anything to stop them that person should go to jail also with the same fine.
All elections must be publicly financed without any outside fund raising.
Every person physically and mentally capable should serve two years of public service at minimum wage before going on to college or other things in life. that can mean service in any public capacity and not just war.
though I hate to ask for money I am asking for donations from $1 to $250 so I can buy some campaign ads. I wish I could just reach into my pocket and do this.
