These four policies would represent a structural change in our economy — reversing the trend so that instead of the rich getting richer, finally it's the working class that gets richer. I'll fight for them, full stop.
Universal single-payer healthcare is the center of my platform. Cut out the private insurance companies to drive down spending. Every person covered — no premiums, no networks, no medical bankruptcy. No one should have to choose between care and rent.
A universal basic income of $500 a month for every American adult. Wages haven't kept up, and working families are stretched thin. This puts real money back in people's pockets.
Eliminate federal income tax on the first $80K of household income ($40K for single filers) — a working-class tax cut that lets families keep more of what they earn.
Universal pre-K starting at age 3 gives every child a fair start, no matter their zip code — and gives working parents the support they need.
We can afford it by rewriting the tax code, reversing tax giveaways to corporations and the ultra-wealthy — the people who've captured both parties and rigged the rules in their favor. I frame this package as a fundamental change that preserves a thriving, competitive economy while ensuring every American can earn a living that supports a family.
