1). To ensure clean water and air as part of an environment in which we can live and grow. 2.) A Single Payer Healthcare system where everyone has access to the same medical treatment and no one suffers financial distress for being sick or injured. 3). A public education and vocational training system which is well funded and freely available to all.. Freezing military spending, a Single Payer Healthcare system and a fairer tax system where the wealthiest pay their fair weighted share are only a few of the funding avenues which can help shape a fairer American society.
