OUR VISIONARY ECONOMY

WE are running on a visionary platform. Angelica, with the help of the people of CA29, will work in Congress to push for a 21st Century Economy where we lift those out of poverty, grow the middle class, make the wealthy billionaire class pay their fair share, protect our environment, and keep in mind the quality of life for workers and their families when it comes to economic policy.

A 21st Century Economy where each and every one of us has a job that pays a living wage and where you can work 30 hours a week and not live in poverty while being able to spend more quality time with yourself and your family. A 21st Century Economy where there are tens of millions of well-paying jobs that: preserve our environment, invest in the expansion of public transportation, and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. A 21st Century Economy where idea creation and community building are financially rewarded and encouraged, and where the top 1% pay their fair share and corporations cannot avoid paying their taxes by incorporating or stashing their money overseas. And most importantly, a 21st Century Economy that focuses on the preservation of our environment through the transition from our reliance on fossil fuels and natural gas to 100% clean renewable energy by 2030. As the wealthiest nation on Earth, if other countries can implement the change that we need, so can we.

WE have seen the middle class disappear over the last 40 years while 40 million Americans live in poverty including 15 million children with almost half of those living in poverty are African American or Latinx. We have seen 90% of all new income go to the top 1% while it never trickles down to the middle or lower classes. The top 1/10th of 1% continues own as much as wealth as the bottom 90%. It’s time for a bold new vision, the question is, are we going to fight for it as the wealthiest nation on Earth
