End carried interest tax treatment for hedge funds. End Bush era inheritance tax holiday. Create mandatory non-partisan congressional districting committees nationwide. D.C. Statehood Now! End mandatory minimum jail sentences for all non violent crime. Require ‘sunlight’ disclosure of all political contribution, lobbying, adverting and indirect spending.
End federal prescription drug pricing plan and allow government to negotiate prices like any other entity. Push retirement age to 67. (Achieved over 24 year span by adding 1 month per year.) Legalize internet gambling and tax it. Decriminalize marijuana, regulate its sale, and tax it. End corn and oil/gas subsidies.
