Statement: Amend the Washington Constitution: Prohibit any income tax on the bottom 90%. Require an income tax on the top 10%. Fully fund education. Establish single payer health care, eliminating deductibles, as Colorado is doing. Phase in a $15 minimum wage. Capitalism must work for all. Eliminate traffic congestion: Take half the solo drivers off the roads, cut greenhouse gasses, with a statewide, UberX cell driven, ride sharing and door to door van service. Vans would carry you to and from home, transit centers, work, ferries, car rental, school, shopping, and soccer practice, connecting our disconnected, wasteful, transit system, making transit faster than driving. Price vans by the mile to break even. Vans will fill up, especially at night, will be more secure, will feed passengers to buses and trains, increasing ridership and revenues, freeing up money to complete light rail. A six passenger van equal five cars off the roads. Sell one car and save $724 per month. Owning a car will be optional. Enact a gasoline tax to complete light rail within six years. Establish a Washington State Bank, like the profitable North Dakota bank. Foment investment. Reduce the cost of bond borrowing. Make Washington an organic state. Ban salmon killing carcinogenic Roundup. Farmers will prosper selling organic products worldwide. Stop adding lead leaching, toxic waste fluoride filth to water. Ban mercury vaccines. Ban coal trains for littering mercury coal dust, oil trains as unreasonably dangerous. House the homeless, the right thing to do, cheaper than alternatives. Treat addiction as a health problem. Build gigabyte internet as Mount Vernon is doing. I am a green, progressive, New Deal Democrat, unlike the many elected Wall Street Democrats. My scientific and legal knowledge and goals are more important than my opponents' experience at maintaining the status quo.
