WHAT ELIZABETH WARREN WILL TACKLE IF ELECTED PRESIDENT

Immigration: Immigration makes our country united and won't be divided by our differences. President Trump demeans immigrants and he hewed immigration programs that protect young Dreamers and asylum seekers that flee their country because of violence and disasters. We must address the president's racist policies and implement policies for immigration reforms. My plan is to create rules-based system that is fair, humane, and that echos our values.

2nd Amendment: Having the right to bear arms is a right that we are guaranteed by the 2nd amendment, but what is not a right is the use of these weapons to murder people and commit crimes, my plan is to create stricter background checks for gun ownership, increasing age requirements, and increasing taxes on guns. People should not have to live in fear in their own neighborhoods wondering if someone will start a shooting.

Healthcare: Healthcare is a major thing in our country and we have made significant strides in it through the Affordable Care Act and we must defend Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act from Republican attempts' to rip it away. My plan is Medicare for All and no one should go broke just to see a doctor, everyone should be able to see the doctor they need when they have health problems.

Abortion: Roe v. Wade (1973) gave a woman's right to safe and legal abortion. Republican lawmakers want to outlaw abortion and deny women their constitutional right. This year, 55 laws that would ban all or most abortions have been introduced in state legislatures. Four states have already passed laws that would effectively prohibit abortion before women learn that they are pregnant. The Trump Administration have been trying to undermine women's health care. It should be a women's right to choose whether they want the child or not.

Climate Change: Climate change is a real and quickly approaching threat, and we have seen events caused by climate change that have already caused lives to be lost along with billions of dollars. My plan to change this is to use the full power of federal investments to create a new program called Green Apollo, which involves 400 billion dollars investment into clean energy research.

Taxes/Economy: As the richest nation in the world the disparity between the wealth of the rich and the poor should not be as massive as it is. However in our nation the rich get richer meanwhile the poor get poorer. My plan is to create a wealth tax in which people with higher income pay more taxes so that these taxes can be used in programs such as Medicare for all so that people with less fortune can benefit.
