No Federal Income Tax or Tax Filing for People Earning $61,000 or Less Summary This proposal would eliminate federal individual income tax liability for people earning $61,000 or less in total wage income, simplifying the tax system for tens of millions of working Americans while having minimal impact on federal revenue. In practical terms, anyone earning approximately $29.33 per hour or less would pay zero federal income tax and would no longer be required to file a tax return each year. Payroll taxes  Social Security and Medicare would still be deducted from paychecks as they are today. Beyond that, nothing. No additional federal tax withheld. No annual filing requirement. Rationale Based on IRS data from the past decade (2013–2022), households earning $61,000 or less make up approximately 50 to 60 percent of all U.S. tax filers. Yet this group contributes only 2 to 3 percent of all federal individual income tax revenue roughly $53 to $79 billion per year, depending o...

This is a deeply disturbing case of antisemitism targeting a 15 year old Jewish girl at her high school in Seattle. This is racism. This is hate. This is evil. What the other students did to her is unconscionable and so is the failure of the school system to protect her. I call upon the Mayor of Seattle, the Governor of Washington, the State Attorney General, and all city, state, and federal representatives to condemn this act without hesitation. I urge them to fully investigate the students and staff involved, and to offer their unwavering support to the victim and her family. The people of Seattle and the entire state of Washington should be horrified that this happened. We should be embarrassed. We should be ashamed. There is an infection of evil spreading in our country, and this case is one of the most chilling symptoms. I fear what the students who committed this act may be capable of as adults if this hatred is  left unchecked. Case Outline : Antisemitism at Nathan H...

Shining a Light on Child Marriage in America "In the absence of light, darkness prevails." — Hellboy (2004) That line has stayed with me for over twenty years. When it comes to evil  to the kind of harm that flourishes precisely because most people do not know it is happening it is profoundly true. And few issues in America illustrate this more clearly than child marriage. Most Americans assume child marriage is something that happens in other countries. They have no idea it is happening here, legally, right now. In 2019, Brazil banned child marriage for those under 16. Colombia recently went further, setting 18 as the absolute minimum with no exceptions for pregnancy or parental consent. America has not kept pace. As of 2025, only about a dozen states have banned child marriage outright  defining 18 as the minimum age with no exceptions. In many other states, minors as young as 16, 15, or even 14 can still legally marry under certain circumstances, including parenta...

           Proposal to Sunset the Peace Corps and Redirect Funding to the Universal Pilot Health Plan Executive Summary This proposal recommends the complete shutdown of the Peace Corps and the permanent redirection of its funding to support the Universal Pilot Health Plan. The Peace Corps has suffered from decades of systemic failure to protect its female volunteers from sexual assault. Despite legislative efforts, including the Kate Puzey Act of 2011, internal reforms have failed to produce transparency, accountability, or meaningful protection for vulnerable service members. This is not merely a failure of policy it is a moral failure of the institution. We cannot tolerate government inaction when it comes to sexual violence. The Peace Corps has lost the trust of the public and of the volunteers it claims to serve. It is time to shut it down. I. Justification for Dissolution A. Systemic and Ongoing Failure Over 350 rapes and attempted rapes have been re...
