How about taxing corporations with fees for excessive profits by over pricing products when the country is under duress.

How about removing Citizens United so that money gets out of politics!

How about student loan debt that has fraudulent interest rates and borrowers owe 5 times more than they borrowed!

How about sending trump to prison for his crimes against humanity and our republic!

How about ending gerrymandering!

I know I’m just a dreamer.
