• Replace the state 'Income Tax'
    An over-haul of the state tax system is imperative due to unemployment and those who avoid paying Income Tax. Individuals paid by check or in cash for services, tree removal, house painting or lawn maintenance to include small home repairs do NOT report such income; thus, no income tax paid. Replacing the 'Income Tax' with an adjusted 'Sales Tax' would make everyone subject to paying "their fair share" to support the budget. This system would make allowances for those above the $200,000 bracket, who would still be subject to an adjusted income tax.

  • Raise the Minimum Wage to $9 / hr
    The Minimum Wage in America is currently $7.25 an hour. If the minimum wage had just stayed even with inflation since 1968 it would now be $10.56 an hour. Raising it to $9 is only fair. That’s $18,720 a year for someone working a 40-hour workweek, just above the poverty line for a family of three.

  • Cancel the Sequester! Protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid
    On March 1, a series of self-imposed, unfocused cuts will impact a wide array of government agencies and services, from the Social Security Administration to national security to education. This wrongheaded and indiscriminate use of the austerity ax will harm the economy, the public, and the future capacity of the government. It will undermine the growth of the economy.

  • Austerity is a proven failure; we need a stimulus program!
    Are you like me? Filled with anxiety over the future for you and your kids and their kids? For your retirement? For your continued capacity to even pay your bills? All the while our nation slogs through the reckless sabotage of our president's economic recovery proposals, -- even as our deficit shrinks, as our corporations profit and the stock market booms, --- our workers continue to suffer. Something is basically upside-down and it is time to set it right!
