A Vision For a Nation Where We:

Tax The Rich

Many Americans don't realize that taxes are a central component of what makes America great. Regarding billionaires specifically, it is important to understand that if someone has too much capital, it upsets the balance of a capitalist society. There are, for example, ego-maniacal rich people in every society... people who want to out-compete their government, hoard resources, amass excess wealth, and buy huge amounts of land. In America, these folks used to be limited from doing so because they had to pay various taxes, and increasingly exorbitant property taxes on the land they amass. That was intentional, and is the whole point of taxation, and of the historically very high tax rates on the wealthiest among us. This simple principle is used to prevent the rich from hoarding too much wealth and taking advantage of people. Taxes are supposed to be enforced and utilized protect the majority, and prevent the ultra-rich from dominating society.

Enact Universal Healthcare

A typical American's ability to access healthcare and health insurance for themselves and their family is generally the deciding factor in how they live their lives and what type of career they are able to pursue. Many briliant Americans never get the chance to create their own businesses and pursue their dreams because they have to play it safe and maintain a job that provides them with benefits.

Stop Locking Up The Poor

America houses 1 in 4 of all prisoners on planet earth. Most Americans do not realize that we live in one of the harshest countries on earth. We must employ tactics to sharply reduce the prison population while also dramatically increasing funding to our detention centers. Millions of people in America's low-wealth societies are locked up for non-violent offenses and living in depraved, subhuman conditions... our fellow citizens are being treated like trash and fed slop. This dangerous system is breeding violence and criminality, and quietly damaging the quality of life for all of us. This practice has also made police officer's lives more dangerous, by causing people who are desperate to avoid being locked up to defend themselves with lethal force.

Crackdown on Illegal Employers

I have personally signed roughly 1,000 I-9 documents in my lifetime when I have hired someone... and I have never knowingly hired an illegal alien. That is the point of the I-9 document. The "immigration problem" in America is primarily a byproduct of wealthy Americans not following basic labor laws. That we go to illegal employers' businesses and arrest the undocumented folks instead of the hiring managers is wrong and un-American.

We are a non-partisan entity because most wealthy folks, regardless of party, tend to take part in an unspoken agenda to keep people down and then blame them for their misfortune. Rich people and their Nepo Babies are living the high life while Americans squabble over cultural and ideological values. We need to fight back against phony rich people and money-worshippers. Americans must continue to fight to dismantle the modern American Oligarchy as we know it today, and level the playing field.

Fight The Class War
Support Family Farms

The corporatization of the farming industry has had a negative impact on most Nevadan's health, and has hung our family farms out to dry. This is having a negative affect on rural communities around the state and country, and fueling income inequality.

The American middle class was built by the organized labor movement. The regression of workers rights over the last 40 years has left young Americans in a bad spot, and unionizing and protecting the lowest-paid and most marginalized workforces in our nation would go a long way towards making America a greater nation.

Federally Legalize Cannabis

Various state's attempts to legalize cannabis have been haphazard at best, and very often fraught with fraud. Many states have recreationally legalized cannabis but have over-complicated their approach to cultivationa dn distribution. Meanwhile, in America's third-world states, possessing any amount of cannabis is still an arrestable offense. We must federally legalize cannabis and rehabilitate Americans understanding of cannabis vs alcohol. Alcohol is much more dangerous. Treating cannabis like the more serious controlled substance continues to cause lasting damage to our society. Voters overwhelmingly agree that cannabis should not be something law enforcement has to spend their money and resources on, and to have to their personal safety over. Police should not have to deal with investigating, arresting and incarcerating people over cannabis offenses.

Crackdown on Corruption

Many Americans are disillusioned by the extremism they have experienced within the judicial system. As a business owner in New York, I (Ray Jarosz) was the victim of police corruption on multiple occasions and am well aware of how damaging dishonest cops are to both society and their fellow officers. Police officers, elected officials, COs, and court officers, in particular, are a vital part of our society, and for that reason they should not be allowed to behave outside of the law. They should be held to a higher standard, if anything. The tradition of "professional courtesy" and selective enforcement damages our society and sows public distrust, especially amongst folks who have witnessed or experienced harsh enforcement.
