To: President Donald Trump, The United States House of Representatives, and The United States Senate
First steps to fix our country
Do the following in order:
1) Reverse Citizens United, or change the Constitution to disallow corporations to make campaign contributions of any kind. Publicly finance all election campaigns. End corporate influence in our elections.
2) Bring manufacturing back to the U.S. by pulling out of the WTO, and abolishing NAFTA/GATT. Put equalizing tariffs on all goods entering the United States. Remove the tax incentives that make sending American jobs overseas profitable.
3) Reinstate Glass-Steagall to get the banks and Wall Street back under control.
4) Shut down the American military empire by closing at least some if not most of its unneccessary 460 overseas military bases.
5) End oil and farm subsidies to corporations that are already insanely profitable.
6) Go to a country-wide single-payer health plan so all Americans can have affordable health care.
7) Even before the deficit is gone, and the budget is balanced, develop and implement the ultimate world energy solution: Space-based Solar.
8) Make education free to all Americans who have the desire and ability to take advantage of it. This is the ultimate investment we can make as a nation.
These actions, alone, will end the death grip that modern-day robber barons have on our country, and will bring peace and prosperity back to the majority of Americans.

Why is this important?
Ever since President Reagan took office, several major legislative actions and policies have been implemented which are destroying America's middle class. These need to be reversed, in sequence, before we can make our country economically strong once again.
