This blog is most concerned with politics and it is not possible to write about it without becoming aware of the myriad problems facing the US. Some are from outside our borders, but most are self-induced by the GOP, aided and abetted by some Democrats, at the instructions of their masters, the 1%. The following list is in no particular order and enumerates our tasks ahead.

• Public financing of political campaigns.
• Limiting the influence of lobbyists.
• Eliminating gerrymandering.
• Require truth in political ads and reporting.
• Stricter gun laws.
• Higher taxes on the very wealthy and corporations.
• Elimination of all tax shelters.
• Reduce offshoring and foreign banking by US citizens.
• More green energy.
• More airlines and greater competition.
• High speed rail.
• Higher minimum wage, a living wage.
• Fewer jails and prisons, none for profit.
• Single-payer healthcare.
• No restrictions on the right of adults to vote, mandatory voting.
• Reformed immigration laws.
• Freedom to petition and to demonstrate peacefully.
• Freedom of worship or to not worship. No religion better than another.
• Restrictions on the CIA and NSA.
• Institute the Robin Hood tax on financial transactions.
• Reinstate usury laws.

I have previously written on many of these subjects, and I will be addressing the others in future posts. Thank you for your support.
