My Platform.
   
This is a platform that I would like to see our politicians run on and that I would run on if I could. Let me know what you think.

1. Reinstate tariffs so that it cost the same to make something in China as it does here. Grant Tax Cuts to those corporations that do open factories here.
2. End the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. On this note we should also close all foreign military bases and cut our military spending by at least 50% and channel that money into domestic programs.
3. Close down Gitmo and either grant trials to all the prisoners held there or allow them to return all.
4. Close all corporate tax loopholes so that they must pay their fair share. Raise the taxes on the wealthiest Americans to the Eisenhower levels of 90%
5. Universal single payer health care for all our citizens.
6. Require all corporations with over 50 employees to have 50% of their board of directors be made up of representatives chosen by and from their employees with an equal vote in all board meetings.
7. Legalize gay marriage in all states. This is the 21st century for God's sake.
8. Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.
9. Ban all private money in campaigns and give each candidate a certain amount of public money for their campaigns. Require that each candidate get a certain amount of time to run commercials and other ads on the main cable and broadcast stations.
10. Institute proportional representation in our elections. You must gain at least 5% of the vote to gain any seats. Any party that gains at least 5% of the vote would get 5% of the seats in the House and Senate.

I can't figure out what the part even means.
