Election days should be a federal holiday. All elections should employ ranked choice voting. All elections should have a hard cap on the amount of direct and indirect (e.g. political parties, PACs) funding that candidates may receive or spend.

Publically funded research should operate on ongoing patronage of scientists, rather than grants - wherein "good standing" scientists are funded continuously so long as they demonstrate academic rigor and support of trainees and employees, regardless of research interest.

The justice system should be fundamentally restructured into addiction treatment and psychological counseling instead of for-profit incarceration. Police should be disarmed, defunded, and disbanded in favor of funding social work, education, and basic income/housing programs.

Landlording, private equity, and all other professions where money is derived from ownership instead of labor should be outlawed or taxed into the ground.

Defense and military expenditures should be cut by 75% or more, redistributing money into social welfare and infrastructure programs.

There should be a threshold of net worth, monitored and updated continuously to reflect inflation and economic conditions, past which any and all income and owned value should be taxed 100%.

There should also be a second, higher threshold that automatically initiates a criminal investigation.
