Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports cutting taxes for the middle class while increasing taxes or closing loopholes on high earners and large corporations (including a proposed wealth surtax on very large incomes/estates and closing the carried interest loophole). Also supports strengthening the Earned Income Tax Credit and requiring wealthy corporations to pay their fair share to reduce the deficit and fund services.
Healthcare
The candidate calls for eliminating Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, expanding the VA into a public option for all citizens while removing government involvement from private healthcare, and forcing private insurers and hospitals to reduce prices or exit the market. The platform frames these changes as replacing current government programs with a VA-centered public alternative and funding reforms through targeted tariffs.
