It is good to have many ideas/ demands. Howevery, too many of them tends to create the confucion. I recomend this four as first focus
Create jobs by rebuilding American infrastructure. This can be conducted through government or private investment. This will help get many people back to work, reduce unemployment immediately.
Stop all American wars immediately. It is extremely stupid to send American young men to become easy targets for terrists to kill in Iraq and Afghanistan. If there is no American in those countries, they have more difficulty to kill Americans as long as we secure our borders. If any country supports terrists to kill Americans, we can send drome to kill their leaders. That's much cost effective than wasting trillions dollars we spent in the two wars. America can no longer afford to waste such money and lives any more!
Pass the Buffet rule, to equlize the tax responsibility, specifically, taxing capital gain as ordinary income. I do not like the term "tax the rich," everybody should pay tax if he/she wants to receive benefit. The problem is the financial speculators only pay 15% for their income while rest of working class have to pay higher rate for their wages!
Reinstate GLASS-STEAGALL ACT. This will eliminate "two big too fail risk", and help refocus the country from virtual economy (financial speculating) to real economy - manufacturing and technoloy. The US will not be strong if we have more and more banks. Banks do not create wealth, they should play their supporting role only, lubricating the economy through commercial lending, not speculating. Let only the investment bank to do speculation, do or die themselves. Taxpayer should not bailout them.
Focus to win!
We really need a grammar / spell checker.
