  1. Medicare for all would be a step in the right direction. It would increase the effective wages of workers as they wouldn't have to pay for that directly and the cost would go down. It would also reduce the barrier to entry for those wishing to try starting their own business. I'm not sure increasing the minimum wage is the right move, but we definitely need to do something to increase the wages of working people. Whether it's by increasing the minimum wage or putting into place tax policies that discourage people from hoarding wealth or something else is worthy of debate.

  2. Yep, they're mostly still stuck in the past when working harder would actually lead to being rewarded. You could be a good worker and get good pay or be a great worker and get great pay. Now, unless you're an excellent worker and get ridiculously high pay, you probably get acceptablish pay.

  3. I'm voting 3rd party, having decided which party yet, but probably Green as they seem to have the best chance of crossing the 5% threshold and I agree with most of their policy positions. Not all, but enough of them that I think their relevance would make the world better.
