-Healthcare should be guaranteed to all citizens (regardless of age, gender, religion, social or economic class); this can be achieved through a single-payer healthcare system.
-Heavily tax the wealth and lessen the burden of taxation from the less financially well off citizens; Although the rich will be heavily taxed, they will still manage to obtain more wealth than citizens of lower economic classes.
-There should be a minimum standard of living for citizens 
-Cut the budget for the military by a factor of 2 and reallocate those resources to more important criteria; We are number one in military spending in the world, our spending exceeds the 2nd place by a factor of 3. 
-Instate a negative income tax to financially assists those who are struggling to get by
-Initiate a more environmental-friendly policy; rework of economic focus toward renewable energy 
-Invest billions towards Infrastructure
-Higher education should be available to all citizens; public colleges and universities will be tuition free
- Political and socio-economic rights should be guaranteed to all citizens, regardless of religion, gender, age, occupation, socio-economic class.

I believe that people have the right through free speech to say what they want (until this infinges upon the rights of someone else such as yelling fire in a movie theater and some dying because of it when there was no fire) as well as the economy not being so heavily regulated as it is now. The best way to tax its people strictly on what they do with their money is to have a Point-Of-Sale tax. This way illegals are paying taxes and those who are unable to afford certain things will not pay heavily in taxes and those that do will pay taxes this establishes the "fair share" that the snowflakes keep talking about.
