I just want to see more honest politicians that are making laws for the people and not the lobbyists and the corporations, someone that'll help stick up for the little guy.
I can get behind this. I'm not sure what true public benefit lobbying really has.
Healthcare for all. Tax the shit out of the rich and make them keep their money in the US.
Careful there, Junior.
"The rich" is subjective.
Keep in mind someone like, say, my own mother, would consider YOU "rich". You have a computer or smartphone, and one of those fancy German cars. She'd be all for voting to take more of YOUR money.
I'll leave this here for you:

Realize you can always pay more in taxes, voluntarily. Simply write a negative number at the bottom of your tax return, and include a check. The IRS will cash it, no questions asked. Lead by example.
"Make them" keep their money in the US.... ever hear the term, "Going Galt"?
As for Healthcare - no one has the right to anyone's labor. You don't have the right to my labor as a software engineer. I don't have the right to your labor as a.... whatever you do. Neither of us have a right to a doctor's labor. No matter how noble.
But, again, feel free to lead by example. Since "free government healthcare" comes out of everyone's pocket who pays taxes... including you, assuming you work and pay them... you can start by walking into any hospital and offer to pay someone's bill. You'll find a taker. Be the person you want society to become. Otherwise you're just another "someone ELSE should do it" person.
Legalize weed. Increase public education funding.
I can get behind legalizing weed. Frankly I could get behind legalizing coke, heroin, all of it. If somebody wants to destroy themselves with drugs... have at it. So long as they don't hurt someone else, and as long as I'm not stuck with the bill when they harm themselves.
Public education needs an overhaul.
You'll get there. [emoji4]
There’s a reason most folks tend to start to slide to the right as they age...
