+ Child labor laws (banning people under 16 from working altogether)
+ Nationalization of industry (because let's be honest, regulation doesn't work, neither do antitrust laws)
+ Food and consumer safety laws (Give the FDA and Consumer Product Safety Commission/FTC real teeth, end the practice of having only 'voluntary' recalls)
+ 4 Day Workweek (32 hour workweek; we work too much, let's give everyone Friday off)
+ Organize labor (Repeal Taft-Hartley, dramatically expand labor legislation so that it is on the side of the worker, rather than the boss)
+ Lower the retirement age (People work too much, lower it to 55)
+ Eradicate unemployment (Guarantee everyone a job)
+ Paid Leave
+ Living Wages ($22 an hour minimum)
+ Universal Basic Income (give everyone $500 a week)
+ Universal Healthcare (not this 'Obamacare' s**t)
+ Universal Education (let everyone go to college who wants to, provide vocational training for everyone else and heavily, heavily encourage the latter; fewer people should go to college but those who do shouldn't pay a dime for it)
+ National Day Care program to ensure that working mothers have an opportunity to continue to work after having a child
+ Full rights and protections for LGBT individuals, including fully paid for sex changes for trans* Americans and simple legal changes
+ Put people on Mars and establish permanent bases on the Moon
+ Expand public transit, phase out oil-based cars in favor of electric-based ones, institute single-payer auto insurance
+ Legalize all drugs, smash the police/surveillance state, and restore civil liberties
+ End Imperial foreign policy. Bring all the troops home, dump Israel.
