"We can't meet 21st century challenges with a 20th century beaurocracy....Change doesn't come FROM Washington, it comes TO Washington!" ~ Barack Obama
Says Obama...WHAT CHANGE LOOKS LIKE:
-A tax code that doesn't reward the lobbyists who wrote it, but the American workers and small businesses who deserve it, rewarding businesses who create jobs here in the US with tax breaks. Eliminate capital gains taxes for small businesses and startups that will create the high tech job for the future.
-Cut taxes for 95% of all working families.
-In 10 years, end our dependence on oil from the middle east. Tap our natural gas resources, safely harness nuclear power, invest in clean coal technology.
Help auto companies retool so fuel efficient cars are built in America. Invest 150 billion in the next 10 years in affordable, renewable energy.
-Invest in early childhood education, higher salaries for teachers, higher standards. Help with college for service to community or country.
-Lower premiums for existing healthcare coverage, and if no coverage, opportunity to get same healthcare as members of congress. Tougher regulation for insurance companies.
-Paid sick days, better family leave.
-Change bankruptcy laws, protect social security, equal pay for equal work.
-Close corporate loop holes and tax savings. Eliminate programs that don't work in the federal budget.
-Provide care and benefits veterans deserve. End war in Iraq responsibity. Rebuild military. Renew direct diplomacy. Build new international partnerships. Restore moral standing so America is respected in the world again.
