Get StartedWe propose to prepare the Massachusetts economy and prepare for the recession. This will involve a mix of lowering taxes, investing in infrastructure, and promoting entrepreneurship through workshare cooperatives, small business investment and aggressive workforce development. We will also create more jobs by investing in businesses that can make an immediate impact. Finally, we will lower the cost of living by reducing energy costs and making health care more affordable.

The Massachusetts School System is also in need of reform. The current system is structured to protect the power of a select few at the cost of children. Our plan would ensure that every student receives a high quality education regardless of their ZIP code. We want to make that change! METCO FOR ALL! Our plan will be focused on delivering and supporting the following. Learn more
Massachusetts needs to protect children in foster care from trauma, with an intense oversight. Our solution, intensive training for new foster parents and caseworkers, will help them better understand the trauma experienced by kids in their care in order to provide better support. Learn more
Massachusetts has a home affordability crisis. Median home prices and rents are the highest in the country. Massachusetts residents are forced to spend significant amounts of their income on housing, leaving little for essentials like food, childcare and transportation. The Massachusetts Housing Crisis is a complex issue that will require multifaceted solutions but our solution, making a renters and property owners alliance in order to purchase apartment units, would be a first step in addressing this crisis and making it more affordable for all.

I want to increase the shareholders of the MBTA by making it a publicly owned organization of the residents of Massachusetts. In doing so, we can work to make the transit system here the first workshare cooperative and allow for a public dividend to be paid out every month to residents who have lived in Massachusetts for a total of 5 years or more. To ensure the monthly public compensation which I'm calling the Milton Friedman Pubic Dividend Fund, we will begin to phase out public subsidies for a ride-per-cost model. We all pay the full fare for the entirety of our ride, which will help add revenue to the MBTA and households in Massachusetts. Learn more
Massachusetts could offer its shuttle services that I alluded to earlier as a service to neighboring townships and cities. We can also tackle excessive regulation that obstructs entry into a profession in occupational licensing. Next, we can move to disband and repeal liquor license quotas and allow the state to have fair access to casino licensure with no arbitrary limit, as well as lowering the marijuana sales license, a barrier to entry for historically disenfranchised individuals. And work to slowly use that revenue to phase out or reduce the existing tax burden for residents. Learn more
