We the People, endeavoring in an ever more perfect Union. Establish the Progressive Party of the United States. Party members will emphasize the value of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. As these are understood to be the foundation of Freedom.
For too long, has outside influence driven our politics. We seek to end Citizens United. The only money in politics should be our own.
The Two Party System, must come to an end. We shall seek to have Ranked Voting in each State of the Union.
We will seek a tax rate of no less, than ninety percent. On the wealthiest in this Country.
Higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy, along with a robust corporate tax reform. Will provide the necessary funds to enhance our existing infrastructure, and new national projects.
Of these projects, are the creation of a High Speed Rail Network, and heavy investments for public sector research into AI and Fusion technologies.
We believe that a strong military is needed for defense. However, wars of aggression and conquest are counter to the peace that we seek.
An educated populace, is a strong populace. We will seek to make higher education, available and free to all People.
We believe that we are a part of this world, and shall seek to restore and maintain our relations with our long term allies.

We don't need to tax the wealthy to fund the federal government. We do it to destroy their power.
The federal government is the source of the money, printed ex nihilo (if you think the federal reserve is independent, ask yourself who gave them their charter and who can revoke it). Why would it need someone else's money to function?
I'd highly recommend reading any of the MMT literature so you have an understanding of this.
The left needs to stop fighting in the neoclassical economic framework of the right and re-lens things into reality and away from that deluded ideology.
Love to see this type of left wing movement!
This is a step in that direction. Think of this like a Far Left think tank, slow insidious progress.
The difference is that we actually have empathy, and it's why we will win.
This. Once they've conquered industry they'll move on to something bigger.
