Candidates must agree in writing to uphold the Party Platform. An independent group elected will audit the votes of elected officials. If they score less than 85%, they may not run for re-election, as agreed. If they score between 85-94% they will have to pass a Pre-primary vote of confidence to be eligible for the primary. Make the platform mean something. Hold official's accountable. Don't allow incumbents carte blanche to run & suck up all campaign funds just because they are incumbents.

Require each year that the IRS publish a simplified explanation of how our federal progressive tax, and ensure that the distribution is as wide as possible. This needs to show clearly that the higher tax brackets only apply to the income above the bracket's lower bound.

Distribute "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars" to Congress, all electeds and American citizens so that they know that their power is more limited than they know, why that is so and what needs to be done to take it back. We can't fix the problem if we don't know what the root of it is.

A federal or state government run smartphone application to access the camera and browser for scanning a QR coded pin issued by the IRS or tax agencies and wore by employees of major retailers and grocery chains to enable a system of tipping low wages sales help for good service. Our working poor are not seeing any benefits from the huge profits of these merchant employers. It would enable direct funding of employees for quality work.

Set private and public (Medicare, Medicaid, ACA) healthcare rates by service performed (what is done) rather than insurance source (who pays). Allow medically trained personnel (not administrators) to define basic care, and allow consumers to purchase additional procedures depending on ability to pay.

Put a price free on groceries. It is to the point, poor people can't afford to buy groceries. They have to go to food banks. That is a disgrace in a country of plenty. No person should have to decide whether to buy food or pay a utility bill or buy medications.

The low-hanging fruit in energy conservation is the power we use to move around 2-ton protective cages. Driverless cars will crash 90% less, and so they will not need the cages. Cars will be able to weigh half or less of what they weigh now. That means half the carbon. Support this new technology with federal research dollars! Lighter cars also mean more electric cars, because they can have longer ranges.

Changes laws to allow the US government to print our money and run a government bank to compete with the Feds. Stop borrowing money from the Feds and paying interest and allow the people to print our own money interest free. Base it on gold. Begin putting gold back in Fort Knox.
