  • Income Tax Fairness
    Our nation -- citizens & businesses -- thrived under the comparatively high income taxes of the Eisenhower era. More recently we did well under Clinton era tax levels. Let's begin a move toward income tax fairness again.

  • End the Bush Tax Cuts, by any means necessary
    We have now lived about a dozen years with the error of the Bush Tax cuts. They did not bring prosperity, except to the top 1 or 2%. They were what the so-called "job creators" wanted; they got them, and look at the job creation 2001 to present--Bad! Mr. President, you are sometimes too nice a guy. Please do not continue your track record of giving more than half in compromises; your adversaries only continue to disrespect you anyway. End the Bush tax cuts. Sure, find a constructive compromise where the affluent pay their fair Clinton era share if you can, but embrace the fiscal cliff and leap happily over it if that turns out to be the only way to end this destructive policy of your predecessor.

  • Let's Hold Hands and Step Off the Curb
    The tax cuts for the wealthy and middle class are soon set to expire. Let's stand together and refuse to give the Republicans the ability to hold the People and the President hostage with this issue. Let them expire...die a natural death. Then let the President and Congress come together from a new beginning and take it where compromise will lead. What a concept!

  • REAL homeowner foreclosure protection laws
    Current foreclosure laws in California do NOT require lender to prove they have the Note or Deed to foreclose. Require lenders to prove they have the right to foreclose. New law only covers modification protection, but does nothing requiring ALL assignments be recorded and most are fraudulent via MERS. New law should REQUIRE proof of valid ownership and proof assignee owns both Note and Deed before it can assign it.

  • Fiscal Responsibility
    Now that Obama has a second term, we need to pressure the White House to "cut a deal" with the Congress to reduce the debt facing this country. This will necessitate raising taxes on those making over $250,000, as well as figuring out ways to cut out unnecessary federal spending.

  • Revise the tax code so everyone pays their fair share.
    Instead of cutting Social Security and Medicare, increase the sources of revenue. I am on the verge of receiving Social Security and Medicare and I would like to keep both solvent. The government cannot continue to make cuts AND not increase revenue.

  • Equality in opportunities in hiring displaced workers over age 55.
    There are many older experienced workers who have been displaced in the workplace due to attrition and funding cuts. There is an atmosphere in the job application process today that makes it suspect that these displaced workers are intentionally sifted out before even before the interview process. Reasons may be attributed to higher education requirements for equal positions or the unspoken discrimination of hiring the applicant on the basis of too many years in the workplace contibuting to the employers bias that the appllicant is not trainable. I am a worker with many transferable skills but have faced over two years of unemployment. I find the application process unfriendly and discriminating in many ways. This creates a feeling that many older workers are too old to hire and too young to retire forcing us to use up any savings and or retirement funds with imposed penalties in order to survive, leaving nothing for retirement years. This creates and forces the need for even longer years of employment beyond the retirement age creating financial instability and a bleak outlook for obtaining the needed employment.
