Economic plan for America once we drive the Oligarchy out of Government

Congress should enact the folloowing measures:

1. Make offshore tax havens for corporations and the wealthy illegal.
2. Reverse all the tax cuts given to the wealthy since Reagan.
3. Reform the tax code: the wealthy have seen to it the tax code is riddled with loop-holes for corporations and the wealthy - Return the tax code to what it was in 1960.
4. Ban stock buybacks, (which Reagan legalized.)
5. Congress should pass a tax on transactions in securities and derivatives. Even a 1/4 of 1% tax would bring in a huge amount of revenue. Such a tax would have the added benefit of tamping down reckless speculation in the financial sector.
6. Reduce military spending by half. Corrupt defense contractors are stealing the American people's tax money hand over fist.

Enact these measures and we will quickly pay down the federal deficit and have plenty of money for domestic improvements.

Then move on to abolishing the electoral college and institute mandatory retirement age for politicians and all government employees.

Healthcare is a human right.
All of this sounds good but it has a fatal flaw. Your own post shows they can just buy it all back and the US will be right back at the same point in 50 years without total structural level changes.
