We the People, endeavoring in an ever more perfect Union. Establish the Progressive Party of the United States. Party members will emphasize the value of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. As these are understood to be the foundation of Freedom.

For too long, has outside influence driven our politics. We seek to end Citizens United. The only money in politics should be our own.

The Two Party System, must come to an end. We shall seek to have Ranked Voting in each State of the Union.

We will seek a tax rate of no less, than ninety percent. On the wealthiest in this Country.

Higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy, along with a robust corporate tax reform. Will provide the necessary funds to enhance our existing infrastructure, and new national projects.

Of these projects, are the creation of a High Speed Rail Network, and heavy investments for public sector research into AI and Fusion technologies.

We believe that a strong military is needed for defense. However, wars of aggression and conquest are counter to the peace that we seek.

An educated populace, is a strong populace. We will seek to make higher education, available and free to all People.

We believe that we are a part of this world, and shall seek to restore and maintain our relations with our long term allies.

Don’t think that’s “capitalist propaganda” as we just found out what the rich will do when faced with higher taxation. They take over the country. In the absence of that possibility, they would absolutely put their HQ somewhere else. No one sets up shop in Ireland because they think the weather is nicer there.

I know, but here’s the thing: Who cares where their HQ is? They’ll flee to tax havens anyway if they can get away with it, and if they can’t then great, tax the shit out of them. Either way what your money will come from is their actual business in the US, which they can’t move without missing out on… All the business they’re doing in the US.
