What I propose to help us out of this mess

F

FUCK THE POLICE

911 EVERY DAY
1. We demand the immediate withdrawal of the United States from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), and oppose the creation of a widened Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA).

2. We call for worker and community ownership and control of corporations within the framework of a decentralized and democratically determined economic.
3. We call for a minimum wage of $15 per hour, indexed to the cost of living.

4. We call for a full employment policy. We support the provision of a livable guaranteed annual income.

5. We call for all financial and insurance institutions to be socially owned and operated by a democratically-controlled national banking authority, which should include credit unions, mutual insurance cooperatives, and cooperative state banks. In the meantime, we call for re-regulation of the banking and insurance industries.

6. We call for a steeply graduated income tax and a steeply graduated estate tax, and a maximum income of no more than ten times the minimum. We oppose regressive taxes such as payroll tax, sales tax, and property taxes.

7. We call for the restoration of the capital gains tax and luxury tax on a progressive, graduated scale.

8. We call for compensation to communities-- and compensation, re-training, and other support service for workers-- affected by plant and military base closings as stop-gap measures until we reach our goal of creating a socialist society totally separate from the global capitalist economy.

9. We oppose the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization as instruments of capitalist oppression throughout the world.

10. We demand cancellation of Third World debt.

11. We call for a National Pension Authority to hold the assets of private pension funds, and a levy against corporate assets for any pension fund deficits.

12. We call for increased and expanded welfare assistance and increased and expanded unemployment compensation at 100% of a worker's previous income or the minimum wage, whichever is higher, for the full period of unemployment or re-training, whichever is longer.

13. We support a program of massive federal investment in both urban and rural areas for infrastructure reconstruction and economic development.

14. We support tax benefits for renters equal to those for homeowners.

I would only agree to 8 of the 14 points you mentioned. Of those 8, 4 would be needed to be ratified. So basically, as a socialist, I say no to the Socialist Party platform! :cof1:

Tell them to join the Peace and Justice Party, the true Christian Socialist Party.

I doubt they are Christian socialists.

And which ones do you disagree with? I mean which aren't radical enough for you?
 
In order to implement these policies, you will need to do two other things....

1. Outlaw Bankruptcy. Unless you do this, the vast majority of American corporations will declare bankruptcy and you will have no means of industry or production.

2. Repeal the 14th Amendment. Unless you do this, you will be unable to force corporate management to work for the state, as will be required under your plan.

You will also need to figure out how we survive without Canadian oil, our leading supplier, since they will likely boycott us for pulling out of our trade agreements.

As the economies of various nations around the world start to crumble, you will also need to figure out how to deal with hostilities toward the US from our new enemies.

Other than that, it sounds like a simply splendid idea, have you sent this to The Messiah yet? I bet he would love to see it! This sounds like it's right up his alley!
