could you elaborate on this one?

Yeah, what kind of jerk would want people to have that. Universal healthcare and child care for poor people ... no way!

Its a living wage. Thats good. Unless you want to see the income gap continue to grow

>4. Work week cut to 6

not sure about this one...

>5. Eliminate the US Senate

Well, thats a little strange...

>6. Make DC a state

Whats so horrible about making DC a state? Do YOU live in DC? If not, than you probably have some sort of say in government, unlike DC residents. If you do live in DC, than no disresoect intended

Good! This is breaking up what are virtual monopolies. This is why there are fewer and fewer local business. We need to take away the power from the corporate fat cats

Good idea, but could prove problematic...

I'm not sure, but it sounds pretty good to me. However, this is getting nearer to communism which I definetely have no problem with but a lot of people do. (propaganda)

again, ite is trying to get rid of the income gap. 200 grand is a lot of money anyways
