  1. need to improve income distribution i.e.flatten out the income/wealth curve with a fairer tax code
  2. move from mindless job creation to encourage inherent resourcefulness in persons [such as steve jobs]
  3. move from a dysfunctional us congress to more effective method of representation [overturn citizens united, increase transparency around lobbying, do away with filibuster, majority voting not 60-40 in the senate]
  4. use the peace dividend wisely and not new wars
  5. include a public option in health [the swiss model adopted by the usa wont work]
  6. promote corporate and public responsibility through judicious and more cooperative regulation

  1. Ok.
  2. Ok.
  3. Ok.
  4. I cannot agree more. Significantly revise our defense system and significantly cut defense budget.
  5. I further this a bit. The People and the congress must have an identical healthcare plan and social benefits. Whatever good for them is good for the People.
  6. Ok.

These are all about social inequalities and government corruption. My personal highest priority item is to take our fiscal house in order:

INSTITUTE DEPT-FREE MONEY SYSTEM: TAKE BACK OUR FINANCIAL SOVEREIGNTY FROM PRIVATE CENTRAL BANKS, AND OUTLAW FRACTIONAL RESERVE LENDING.

In full, this request means:

Abolish Fed's debt-money system and reinstate A. Lincoln's debt-free money system:

  • Only Congress authorizes changes in the US money supply,
  • Only US Treasury prints (debt-free) money,
  • Gradually retire Fed debt-money in one year and abolish Fed thereafter,
  • Outlaw fractional reserve lending,
  • Institute state saving banks (N. Dakota state bank model).

Those are actually great ideas.
