We the People, endeavoring in an ever more perfect Union. Establish the Progressive Party of the United States. Party members will emphasize the value of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. As these are understood to be the foundation of Freedom.
For too long, has outside influence driven our politics. We seek to end Citizens United. The only money in politics should be our own.
The Two Party System, must come to an end. We shall seek to have Ranked Voting in each State of the Union.
We will seek a tax rate of no less, than ninety percent. On the wealthiest in this Country.
Higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy, along with a robust corporate tax reform. Will provide the necessary funds to enhance our existing infrastructure, and new national projects.
Of these projects, are the creation of a High Speed Rail Network, and heavy investments for public sector research into AI and Fusion technologies.
We believe that a strong military is needed for defense. However, wars of aggression and conquest are counter to the peace that we seek.
An educated populace, is a strong populace. We will seek to make higher education, available and free to all People.
We believe that we are a part of this world, and shall seek to restore and maintain our relations with our long term allies.

We’re still working on it, what you read was a first draft. (I just got started 15 days ago) Feel free to drop proposal ideas, we’re mostly Democratic Socialists. I went with my personal thoughts on what I’d like to see this grow into. I’m also fully aware that others can do a better job at writing policy. I just want to give people space to organize, and a dream of a better America.
Maybe no taxes below the poverty level, which btw needs serious updating along with minimum wage. No ultrarich or corporate lobbies. Basic necessities are provided to taxpayers, by taxpayers, including a healthy, well-balanced diet, fully funded comprehensive health, utilities including Internet; renewable energy, no corporate or excessive ownership of homes or land, nationalize food, energy, water, education, quality textiles/clothing, I’ll think of more. It won’t all be immediately doable but we can and should get people everyday necessities.
It’s actually not the highest we’ve had on the rich. I was being kind lol. I really like this though, can’t remember if I mentioned the crowd funding of our candidates as well. Companies are not people, and should not be in politics.
