LIST OF GOALS

If you don't like what I've done, please change it.

If it's got one "-", then it's a category unto itself, and if it has two "--", then it's "under that category". I envision that the categories will roll up and become "the goals", and the details will be targetted milestones under a specific goal.

== CATEGORIES AND GOALS ==:

SHIFT TAX BURDEN

- Zero-Sum Budget the Tax Code
- Flat Tax (no deductions)
- High Tax on "money-on-money" transactions/income
- Tax companies that are not "zero-waste" and those who do not adhere to "Extended Producer Responsibility" standards

=== Campaign Reform ===
-- Publically funded elections
-- Free/equal prime time airtime w/major broadcast stations, as a permit condition , for all candidates on the ballot
-- Proportional Representation & Instant Run Off Voting
-- Abolish the electoral college (popular vote for President wins)

=== Banking Reform ===
-- Dodd-Frank (get it done! been in committee controlled by derivatives industry forever!)

RESTORE RIGHTS TO INDIVIDUALS/ENVIRONMENT BY ESTABLISHING A "STRONG COMMONS"

- Amend the constitution to declare the right to basic healthcare, basic income, basic shelter healthy food, clean air/water
- Amend the constitution to end the corporatocracy and restore inalienable natural rights to individuals and the environment
- Repeal NDAA


Not sure where these go:

- Nationalize the Healthcare System
- Give racial minorities first use rights to wide ranging commons that encompass air, open land, housing and water


We can do ACTIONS NEXT. Let's keep this list to GOALS?
