Since everyone is being rather specific...


2. Double the minimum wage by the end of my second term in office and eliminate all sub-minimum wages. Index growth in the minimum wage to growth in inflation and growth in worker productivity from thereon out. Crack down on wage theft, unequal pay based on sex, unpaid overtime, and the like, while also significantly expanding the reach of laws dealing with those.

3. Reduce the workweek to 32 hours by giving everyone Fridays off with no loss in pay. Readjust the overtime compensation law to provide more overtime pay for time worked, plus require holiday pay across the board.


Fridays off with no loss in pay?



I hope youre trolling

-raise the minimum wage substantially, differentiated by cost-of-living by state.  (i.e., The NJ minimum wage would be higher than NC)

-progressive tax reform, burden shifted heavily to the top 2% in income.  Those with an income under $20,000 pay no income tax. 

-new regulations on the firing of any employee.  Firing of an employee is taken very, very seriously.  Burden shifts to management to show that the person was not doing their job.

-Mandatory 6 weeks paid vacation for all full-time (35 hours a week over the course of a month) employees.

-mandatory time and a half overtime pay for any hours worked per week exceeding 35.


-Unions are granted protection from firing during any strike.  Courts are instructed to assume blame be put on ownership and management until proven otherwise if the proceedings enter the legal system. 


Disagree strongly. No one should have to work. Mandatory handouts from the government for everyone, work days limited to 2 hours, no one can get fired.

Seriously though, thank God you're never going to president because you have an incredibly twisted view of the world and economics, and our economy would crash within a week of your term. But hey! Job security and were taxing those evil rich people a lot!
