A Better Deal
for Georgia
From vulture culture to an economy that works for everyone.
“It costs less our way.”
Who’s gonna
pay for it?
I’ve been hearing that question lately, and I want to answer it straight up.
Here’s my answer, and I mean it:It costs less our way.
Read the economic caseJustice
Fairness for every Georgian.
Justice isn’t a luxury or a privilege. It is the foundation. You can’t have a wealthy economy without it, because an economy built on a rigged game doesn’t produce prosperity. It produces extraction.
Get Big Money Out of Politics
Get big money out of elections through publicly funded campaigns and work to reverse Citizens United.
Protect Public Education
Fund public schools equally regardless of ZIP code, and keep public funds out of private schools, including vouchers and tax deductions.
Reform the Criminal Justice System
Ban private prisons and prohibit price-gouging by prison commissaries, telephone providers and other vendors.
Protect Consumer Rights
Ban surveillance-pricing discrimination so companies can’t use your data, ZIP code or face to charge you more.
Autonomy
Freedom for every Georgian.
Autonomy means your life is yours to live. Our government’s job is to make sure we all have the safety and security and freedom and basic resources we need to live it.
Healthcare Is a Human Right
Stop insurers from making medical decisions; protect abortion, contraception and family planning; and provide universal single-payer health insurance.
Invest in Georgia Families
Provide universal daycare and pre-K, improving school readiness and investing early in Georgia’s children and families.
Protect Free Speech and Learning
Provide comprehensive, fact-based sex education and prevent blanket school or library media restrictions based on individual objections.
Basic Needs Shouldn’t Be Luxuries
Guarantee access to water, food, shelter, healthcare, education and protection from violence, along with essential utilities regardless of income.
Protect Your Identity
Create a legal right to your own identity and prohibit deepfaking any person without their permission.
Decriminalize Marijuana
Fully decriminalize marijuana, ending the costly cycle of prosecution and incarceration for marijuana offenses.
Prosperity
Hope for every Georgian.
Prosperity isn’t a zero-sum game. An economy where everybody does well is a bigger, more productive economy than one where a few people have everything and everyone else scrapes by.
Lower the Cost of Living
Ban junk fees, hidden fees and surprise billing, and require the displayed price to be the full price.
Help Workers Get Ahead
Raise the minimum wage to a living wage indexed to inflation and repeal anti-union “right-to-work” laws.
Make the Wealthy Pay Their Fair Share
Establish fair-share tax rates and link top marginal rates to wealth inequality so working people don’t pay a higher percentage than the wealthy.
Make Housing Affordable
End hedge-fund and portfolio ownership of residential housing so families don’t have to outbid investors to own a home.
Make Tax Filing Simpler
Require the IRS to send prepopulated tax filings for taxpayers to review and approve.
Protect Georgia’s Future
Take immediate, serious action to mitigate climate change and protect Georgia’s environment.
It’s already working somewhere else.
Healthcare
Every Other Wealthy Country on Earth
The United States spends roughly twice as much per person as other wealthy countries while covering fewer people and getting worse outcomes.
Taxes, Not Fees
Denmark
Denmark funds healthcare, education and essential services through taxes, avoiding the premiums, deductibles, tuition and fees Americans pay on top.
Minimum Wage
Seattle
Seattle’s higher minimum wage did not trigger the mass layoffs critics predicted, while low-wage workers saw their annual earnings increase.
Public Campaign Finance
New York City
New York City’s small-dollar matching program gives ordinary donors more influence and candidates a real alternative to wealthy interests.
Marijuana
Colorado
Colorado’s marijuana legalization generates substantial tax revenue while marijuana-related arrests have fallen dramatically.
Housing
Vienna, Austria
About 60% of Vienna residents live in subsidized housing, while the city remains highly livable with comparatively affordable housing.
