Issues and Policies
Let's Restore Common-Sense
1. Honest Leaders, Not Crooks
Politicians and CEOs are robbing us blind—stealing your taxes, rigging the system, and laughing all the way to their private jets.
- Nancy Pelosi’s husband magically earned $30 million trading tech stocks while she blocked laws to break up Google and Amazon.*
- Rick Scott stole $1.7 billion from Medicare as a CEO*—now he’s in charge of “fixing” Medicare. Pure swamp logic.
SOLUTION: Jail politicians who trade on privileged information. Confiscate their dirty profits.
- Ron DeSantis erased Black voters’ districts to protect his power—then funneled $10 million in Medicaid money to his wife’s pet project.*
- Both parties gerrymander maps so 90% of races are decided before you vote. Your voice? Erased.
SOLUTION: End gerrymandering. Jail politicians who rig maps.
- Bob Menendez took GOLD BARS and cash to sell America out to Egypt—got 11 years, but DeSantis stole $10 million and walks free.*
- Trump hawks $99 meme coins to his supporters—the same scam as Trump University. His tax cuts for billionaires? YOU paid for that.*
SOLUTION: Special prosecutors for corrupt politicians. Treat them like the thieves they are.
- Elon Musk pocketed $4.9 billion in your tax dollars for Tesla—then laid off workers while inflating stock prices with robotaxi lies.
- Trump’s tariffs spiked prices on groceries, tires, and tools—while his billionaire buddies got richer.
SOLUTION: Tax stock trades and CEO bonuses. Jail CEOs who loot public funds.
2. Families & Communities First
Government programs trap families in poverty, schools overburden teachers, and exploitative visas hurt workers.
The Scam:
- Welfare programs punish success: A single mom earning $1 over $30,000 loses Medicaid, SNAP, and childcare subsidies—forcing her to choose between a raise and healthcare.
- 30+ overlapping programs (TANF, WIC, Section 8) waste billions on bureaucracy instead of helping families.
The Fix:
- Replace welfare cliffs with phased benefits: For every $1 earned, lose 30¢ in benefits—not 100%.
- Direct cash aid: Let families decide how to spend assistance.
- “Help people climb the ladder—don’t yank it away.”
The Scam:
- Teachers are forced to be therapists, meal providers, and social workers—65% report burnout due to non-teaching tasks.
- Parental disempowerment: Schools hide curriculum changes, while families struggle to afford tutoring or extracurriculars.
The Fix:
- Parental oversight committees: Teachers and parents jointly review curricula, discipline policies, and budgets.
- Tax credits for tutoring/activities: Let parents directly fund their kids’ needs (e.g., $5K/year for lessons, sports, therapy).
- “Teachers teach. Parents parent. Government backs both.”
The Scam:
- H-1B visas let corporations underpay foreign tech workers—displacing U.S. grads and suppressing wages.
- H-2A farm visas trap migrants in debt peonage—with no path to citizenship and rampant abuse.
- Cartels and gangs exploit open borders to traffic 500,000+ migrants/year, destabilizing communities.
The Fix:
- Tie visas to fair wages: Employers must pay 25% above local median wages for foreign hires.
- Deploy drones and biometrics to secure borders and crush cartel smuggling routes.
- “No more exploiting workers or endangering citizens.”
3. Government Stays in Its Lane
Washington wastes your money propping up broken systems that enrich corporations and bureaucrats—not you.
The Scam:
- The U.S. spends $13,000 per person annually on healthcare—double other developed nations—but ranks last in access and outcomes among rich countries.
- The Affordable Care Act (ACA) funneled $1.8 trillion to insurers and hospitals since 2010, but ER wait times rose, rural hospitals closed, and medical debt is now the #1 cause of bankruptcy.
Example:
- UnitedHealth made $22 billion in profits last year while denying 20% of claims.
The Fix:
- Let Americans buy insurance across state lines to break regional monopolies.
- Slash middlemen: Cap hospital profits, ban surprise billing, and redirect ACA subsidies to patients, not corporations.
The Scam:
- U.S. schools spend $16,000 per student annually—#2 globally—but rank 38th in math and 24th in science.
- Admin bloat: For every 1 teacher, there are 2 non-teaching staff. NYC spends $38,000 per student but 65% can’t read at grade level.
Example:
- *Los Angeles paid $1.3 billion for a school that’s half-empty while students share 10-year-old textbooks.*
The Fix:
- Vouchers for all: Let parents take their tax dollars to any school—public, private, or homeschool.
- Fire redundant administrators. Reward teachers who boost outcomes.
The Scam:
- The U.S. has 120 guns per 100 people—and 20,000+ gun suicides yearly (60% of all gun deaths).
- Cartels: 70% of Mexico’s crime guns come from the U.S., arming gangs that destabilize our border.
- Domestic violence: 4.5 million women have been threatened with guns, yet federal law lets abusers keep firearms.
The Fix:
- Enforce existing laws: Prosecute felons and domestic abusers who try to buy guns (40% of background checks aren’t completed in time).
- Crush gun traffickers: Deploy the ATF to Mexico to trace cartel weapons—not harass U.S. gun shops.
4. Stop Wasting Money
Politicians and corporate lobbyists team up to blow your taxes on handouts for the rich, outdated programs, and ineffective environmental rabbit holes.
The Scam:
- The U.S. spends $1 trillion per year on corporate welfare (oil subsidies, Boeing bailouts, Big Pharma monopolies) while working families foot the bill.
- COVID fraud: $280 billion stolen in PPP loans, including $10 million to a convicted felon and $40 billion to fake farms.
The Fix:
- End corporate handouts: Tax stock buybacks, ban lobbying by subsidized industries, and claw back wasteful spending (e.g., $2 trillion F-35 jet program).
- Phase out spending: Cap federal budget growth at 2%/year (inflation + population), enforced by automatic cuts to pork projects
The Scam:
- Social Security will go broke by 2033 because Congress raids its funds for pet projects.
- Bill Gates pays the same payroll tax rate as a teacher—but only on his first $168,600 of income. The rest? Tax-free.
The Fix:
- Means-test benefits: Phase out payments for retirees with $5 million+ net worth.
- Raise the payroll tax cap: Make billionaires pay into Social Security on all income, not just the first $168k.
- “Protect workers, not Wall Street.”
The Scam:
- The U.S. spends $100 billion per year on green subsidies, but China produces 60% of the world’s solar panels and 80% of EVs.
- Biden’s EPA shut down coal plants but let DuPont dump PFAS “forever chemicals” into rivers.
The Fix:
- Tax Big Polluters: Make Exxon and Chevron pay to clean up their toxic waste (like Superfund in the 1980s).
- Nuclear + gas innovation: Replace coal with modular reactors and carbon capture—creating jobs without killing energy grids.
- “Texas wind farms created 25,000 jobs. Let’s copy that, not the Green New Deal.”
5. Strong but Smart American Leadership
The world’s a mess, and the current administration is weakening us defensively and economically.
- “Google and Meta control 80% of ads. That’s not ‘free markets’—it’s rigged markets. Break them up so small businesses and media can survive.”
- “If we let monopolies strangle competition here, China will outbuild us everywhere from AI to green tech.”
- “NATO bases let us project power globally without footing the whole bill. Let allies host our troops—it’s cheaper than building new forts in Nebraska.”
- “Trade deals should help workers, not monopolies. Tax corporations that offshore jobs, reward ones that hire here.”
- *”Foreign aid and military assistance cost less than 1% of the budget but prevent trillion-dollar wars. Example: Giving Ukraine old weapons we’d trash anyway wrecked Russia’s army for pennies.”*
- “USAID isn’t charity—it’s a down payment. Every $1 we spend stops pandemics, creates trade partners, and keeps China from buying allies.”
