My Progressive ideas explained

A nation that continues to spend more money on tax cuts for the wealthy, subsidies for large corporations and oil companies, and military than on programs of social uplift is a nation built off the backs of the many for luxuries to the few.

If we continue bombings on Afghanistan or elsewhere to appease the military industrial complex and the neoconservative war mongers, and very likely continue killing innocent civilians along the way, we'd be creating many more martyrs going to their deaths in retaliation against the retaliation. As shown from previous events, you cannot stop a person who's ready to die. We've created more terrorism through these actions, the never ending war on terror will never end unless we all collectively want it to.

These endless wars are too expensive. At a time of crippling deficit, a huge debt, and gigantic wealth income inequality gap that's left millions starving and stuck in welfare cliffs to not be able to become productive and healthy members of society or dealing with an illness or college debt that's financially stricken them, we can't in good conscience say that effective governmental action to build programs of employment and taxation revenue reallocation isn't the answer but crony capitalist republican mathematical fallacies of increasing spending on military and decreasing revenues in taxation only to cut the programs that the majority of Americans rely on to survive is the answer. The endless war on terror must end for our economic survival.

We must implement progressive taxation and end these economically and lethally inflating wars in order to help the poor and working class get out of these cliffs, get out of unemployment, get out of poverty rather then a magical pipedream of austerity creating wealth for the many in a free near anarcho capitalist market.

Wall street and the wealthy in this country have caused a lot of these issues. It's time to kill the OTC derivative market, outlaw credit default swaps, place a speculation tax or small levy on every stock, bond or derivative sold in the United States, reform the federal reserve, rein in wall street, break up the big banks, and tax the wealthy in the form of progressive taxation that includes ending subsidies to large corporations and raising the capital gains and estate taxes. This progressive taxation plan requires that the rich pay their fair share.

By doing these things and defunding the military by 25% to 50% and implement full on progressive taxation we could relieve student debt through quantitative easing from the federal reserve and also completely transition into renewable energy to reverse climate change. Doing these things will shrink the wealth inequality gap and the poverty rate and largely boost the economy while paying for programs like single payer, free college, $15 minimum wage, employment programs, and even more in a well funded and fiscally responsible Social Democracy. No large debt, no large deficit.

Like JFK said, we don't believe in big government, we believe in effective government. So after years of neoliberalism and crony capitalism and many suffering, it's time for a true political revolution where we take back our government from the oligarchic powers that be. It's our resistance, it's our revolution, it's our America.
