Foreign Policy

I will work to end the Iran war. Learn more

Not one penny to Israel! It is an outrage that our tax dollars are going to fund genocide and apartheid. I will also work to stop the genocide and abuse of Palestinians and bring Netanyahu and others responsible to justice. Learn more

Immigration

I support enforcing our immigration laws and reducing immigration levels. But the government can do that humanely, consistent with the Bill of Rights, and without murdering citizens and noncitizens. Learn more

Infrastructure / Transportation

I will work for full local disclosure in advance for data centers before they can be built. Data centers are being built because of “artificial intelligence” and cryptocurrencies and the absurd levels of electricity use for both of those. Learn more

Legislation

I will introduce a bill to create a right to sue federal officials, including the President, for knowingly violating our rights and make that a crime. If Congress refuses to consider that bill, I will introduce it to a jury, where it will pass with over 80% support, and then I will dare Congress to hold a vote on it. Learn more

Taxes / Budget

I will propose that the federal government buy 1% of the land in the U.S. Each year for a decade and simply let it revert to nature. We can do that for just 2.7% of the federal budget each year. At the end of 10 years, we would have over 10% of the land reverted to nature, and then we could decide how much longer we want to continue. Learn more

I will propose a bill to cut income taxes and payroll taxes in half and replace that revenue with an annual wealth tax of 8% on wealth over about 400 million, 6% on wealth over 44 million (the top 0.1%), 4% on wealth over 12 million (the top 1%), and 2% on wealth over 1.5 million (the top 10%).

I propose that we simply use the tax code to induce monopolies and giant corporations to break themselves up and create real competition. Learn more
