Dear Sharra, I was on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah a couple of nights ago, and I was grateful for the extended conversation about my views and policies. He asked me what laws I would pass on "Day One" of my administration. I said: First we need to pass a law—and most likely a constitutional amendment as well—for public funding of federal campaigns. Right now, the influence of corporate money on our governmental policy is the cancer underlying all other cancers. Then, we need a massive infusion of economic opportunity and hope into the lives of average Americans. We will get there by repealing the 2017, $2 trillion dollar tax cut that gave 83 cents of every dollar to the richest Americans and corporations. Then you stop subsidies such as—why did we pay $26 billion in subsidies to fossil fuel companies last year? Then, I agree with others that there should be a 3% tax on billionaires' assets and 2% on people with $50 million and more. You do things like that, Trevor, and you've got some cash on hand. And then we do what we should be doing. We take care of people.
Here's the entire interview for you to see.
