Cap income at x40 the average income. Every penny over that is 100% taxed. Lower taxes on every income bracket beneath
Remove the ability to pardon from the executive branch, put to the people to vote.
Return Hawaii to it native people as it was illigal annexed. Puerto Rico voted to join the USA November 5, 2024; Let them.

Gerrymandering can't be outlawed. It happens all the time and is a powerful tool to help enfranchise people as well as a weapon to disenfranchise them when used incorrectly.

What should happen is take the power to redraw voting districts out of the hands of partisan groups and make a cross-party commission to oversee the process.

The problem with taxing billionaires out of existence is that the top 1% income earners in the US make up about 50% of all income tax revenue.

And because they're billionaires they can afford to just move somewhere else.

So if they leave you're left with less than half of your tax revenue, and they just carry on being billionaires somewhere else.
