2020 Voters Edge
What financing method(s) would you support to repair or improve roads, rails, ports, airports, the electrical grid, and other infrastructure in the U.S.? League of Women Voters
A strong progressive tax on the upper 0.1% (about $3 million yearly income minimum) and corporations that do business in the U.S. A strong infrastructure program would employ 100,000’s at decent wages generating a fairer stronger economy returning in taxes much of the funds provided by the government to stimulate the economy with infrastructure projects.
What programs or legislation, if any, would you support to help Americans of all ages to secure affordable health care? League of Women Voters
Longtime advocate for Medicare for All, not the corporate written Affordable Care Act which helped sweep Republicans into control of Congress in 2010 and Trump as President in2016. We need to remove the financial worry of healthcare. Medicare For All would also include Prescriptions, Dental, Vision. Mental, Hospice and Long-Term Care. I am disgusted with the AARP which claims to always promote Seniors best interest. Medicare For All would end the nightmare paperwork choice of the right prescription plan. Medicare For All would end all the medical bankruptcies. We also need to eliminate Medicare claims on Senior’s inheritances for past services. Inheritance taxes have virtually been eliminated for the rich, but the inheritance of the poorest and sickest are raided.
Describe an immigration policy that you would support if presented to the House of Representatives. League of Women Voters
End our cruel illegal foreign policy of wars, coups, sanctions and destabilization of other nations that is the number one reason for mass immigration. Grant Dreamers prompt opportunity for citizenship. Grant everyone now in U.S. a permanent Green card and a reasonable path to become citizens. Issue 10-month work visas not tied to a specific job or corporation with 2 months outside of country for indefinite work visa renewals. Encourage needed low skilled workers but discourage family entry. Right now, the strict border control encourages family migration because too risky and expensive to come and go to the U.S.
Trump Impeachment
One must realize, this impeachment ignored all the real crimes Trump has done that actually affect people. These two Articles of Impeachment involve one corporate party trying to punish the other for daring to smear one party’s, would be, anointed corporate candidate Joe Biden. Except for Trump’s offense behavior, Corporate Democrats actually like much of what Trump has done to further Deep State control of America and the World.
Jimmy Dore alleges criminality by the FBI and discusses why the Democrats can’t oppose Trump on policy, why the impeachment is a ‘circus show,’ how the military-industrial complex, Big Pharma, health insurance companies own both the Republican and Democratic parties, and more! Jimmy Dore: Trump impeachment is a circus show by Democrats!
On November 22, 2019, Ralph Nader, Louis Fisher, Bruce Fein wrote to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urging her to act on their proposed 12 Articles of Impeachment.
Excerp of Letter: The House impeachment inquiry into President Trump should be commensurate with the frightening breadth of his constitutional lawlessness, including multiple obstructions of justice.
Narrowly focusing on the solicitation of bribery and an illegal foreign campaign contribution connected to Ukraine while leaving the vast number of other constitutional wrongs or usurpations unsanctioned would be disastrous for moving public opinion in favor of impeachment.
The unrebuked usurpations would set a precedent that would lie around like a loaded weapon ready for use by future occupants of the White House who claim limitless executive power except a Ukraine-type shakedown. They would downgrade the quality of presidential candidates and lower public expectations of the presidency to alarming levels.
Moreover, Mr. Trump will repeatedly claim his other impeachable abuses are meritless. Since a Democratic majority in the House did not act more broadly, he will denounce the accusations as lies and fake news. November 22 Letter to Nancy Pelosi
