Movement for a People's Party Platform: Economic Bill of Rights

I have recently joined the team of Movement for a People's Party (MPP) and want to share with you the People's Party platform in a series of posts. This first post in on the Economic Bill of Rights. This was first posited by FDR as he asserted that we have a Bill of Rights that guarantees us certain rights, but that it is increasingly evident that to ensure actual security and happiness we need to add an Economic Bill of Rights. The MPP has incorporated this into the party platform.

The platform explains all of these key items in detail and I urge you to take a look for yourself at the MPP website  to read the platform in its entirety.

• Shorten workweek to 4 days
• Universal Basic Income
• Federal Jobs Guarantee
• Work and Retraining
• Repairing and modernizing infrastructure
• 21st century energy system
• $15 minimum wage indexed to inflation
• Ensuring paid maternity, paternity, family, sick and vacation leaves
• Guarantee affordable housing and rent control for all
• Reverse the consolidation of industries into trusts and monopolies
• Lift the cap on taxable income into Social Security and extend solvency to 50 years. 

* Medicare for all has its own platform section

Americans are in desperate need for a viable 3rd party that truly seeks to give us what we all want and need as we venture into this unknowable future. With your help we can get there. Note: this is an all volunteer organization. Thank you!
