Sensible Support for BusinessesCorporations and Businesses receive huge tax-breaks and subsidies from local, state and federal governments - not all of those windfalls are of benefit to the tax-payer who has to foot the bill. I propose that all business subsidies / tax breaks of more than $500,000, or $100,000 for five years or more, are subject to automatic review. Before the subsidies / breaks can be continued, legislative bodies must determine the value to the citizenry, produce a detailed report on their findings, and have an open public comment period.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by kevin cummings

LET CHILDREN VISIT PARENTS IN PRISONFlorida restricts those under 18 from visitation with an incarcerated parent, even alongside their other parent or adult family member, in many legal cases. The court, jail, or prison should not restrict children from visitation with their parent. Studies show children benefit from visiting with their parents.87 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dolores R.

Fair TaxationWe need much more fairness in our tax system. Many people do not even realize that almost 1/2 of our citizens pay ABSOLUTELY NO INCOME TAXES AT ALL! We must insist that everyone share the load. That 46% of the people who pay zero income taxes should be ashamed of themselves. How can we best do that? I suggest that we end ALL deductions and loopholes. If EVERYONE pays the same percentage of income in taxes, that would most certainly be fair. Obviously, the wealthy will continue to contribute, by far, the largest total amount, at least the burden will be shared equally. We must end the so-called earned income credit. Do you realize that we actually PAY some citizens for doing nothing? As I understand it, the government actually sends them a check, rather than the citizen sending the government a check -- that makes no sense at all.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Darwin Carmichael

No Jobs, No SolutionsI don't think we give enough assistance to those unemployed. the jobs are not available and the resources are few. If you run out of unemployment what do you do until you find that job you have desperately been looking for. If you run out of savings, 401K and have no retirement fund what is next. You're on the street. Why has the state and federal government droped the ball on the extentions. What if you are not eligible for Social Services!1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dolores Small

Employer Statement: We pay our employees less than minimum wage, dependant upon gratiuity for the...In most states hourly tipped employees receive considerable less than minimum wage, $2.83 an hour in Pennsylvania, many people think that we receive minimum wage plus our gratuities. Most restaurant employers offer no benefits (must purchase your own health insurance, etc.), and never offer any kind of incentive raises, no matter the length of employment (one year of employment $2.83 an hour, ten years of employment $2.83 an hour). I think that a petition should be put to local state legislatures for all employers who pay their employees less than minimum wage, due to local governments inaction to raise our wages, to require these employers to state, in clear public view of all patrons of the restaurant, that "We pay our employees $_.__ an hour, and they are dependant on gratuities from our patrons for their living wages".4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Edward Winfrey
