LOLWUT? Is this some kind of a joke?

  • Repeal the Taft-Hartley Act. Unionize ALL workers immediately.

  • Institute a 6 hour workday, and 6 weeks of paid vacation.
  • Institute a moratorium on all foreclosures and layoffs immediately.
  • Repeal racist and xenophobic English-only laws.
  • Open the borders to all immigrants, legal or illegal. Offer immediate, unconditional amnesty, to all undocumented residents of the US.
  • Create a single-payer, universal health care system.
  • Pass stricter campaign finance reform laws. Ban all private donations. All campaigns will receive equal funding, provided by the taxpayers.
  • Institute a negative income tax, and tax the very rich at rates up to 90%.
  • Pass far stricter environmental protection and animal rights laws.
  • Allow workers to elect their supervisors.
  • Lower the retirement age to 55. Increase Social Security benefits.
  • Create a 5% annual wealth tax for the very rich.
  • Ban the private ownership of land.
  • Make homeschooling illegal. Religious fanatics use it to feed their children propaganda.
  • Reduce the age of majority to 16.
  • Abolish the death penalty and life in prison. We call for the immediate release of all death row inmates from death row and transferred to regular prisons.
  • Release all political prisoners immediately.
