• An effective program to curb global overpopulation (to reduce bidding up of scarce and depleted resources, parasitic rent-seeking, and exploitation of labor)


• A return to considerably more progressive taxation, on both federal and state levels, including a progressive annual tax on wealth (to reduce the outsized power and influence of the super-rich)


• A return to heavily subsidized, free or practically free high-quality public education at all levels


• Greater public investment in productivity-enhancing and environmentally sound infrastructure


• Greater public investment in and ownership of basic and applied scientific research (in health, energy, etc.)


• Much greater federalization of labor, environmental, and tax law (to prevent interstate races to the bottom)


• A much more extensive package of mandatory employee rights and benefits, including paid sick leave, paid family emergency leave, paid vacations and holidays, and limits on the at-will termination doctrine


• A considerably higher minimum wage


• Daily calculation of overtime, with no exemptions


• Trade agreements with significant labor and environmental standards (to prevent international races to the bottom, protect labor and environmental gains in developed countries, and promote labor and environmental gains in less developed countries)


• National, tax-funded single-payer health insurance (to put an end to the for-profit health sector's trillion-dollar-a-year protection-racket skim)
