Here is what I will do as President:
- Effective January 1, 2017 raise the minimum wage to $15.00 an hour and index it to the CPI
- Eliminate interest on all current student loans
- Require employers of any size to provide three months paid leave for any family related purpose
- Institute a minimum annual Social Security COLA of 2%
- Provide free day care and pre-school to all Americans
- Provide free college to all effective 1-1-17
- Eliminate all income taxes on earnings up to $50,000 a year
- Require every company to provide at least 5% of employee earnings into a retirement plan
- Improve the formula so that future Social Security benefits are increased by ten percent over the next five years.
- Make health care free to all Americans
- Increase the top tax rate to 75% on the wealthy (incomes over $250,000).
- Immediately raise the pay of women so that it is equal in all jobs
- Require that any pension plan for public employees be fully funded within three years
Any questions?
You should have many questions😱
QUINNSCOMMENTARY 
I see the birth rate going up again, maybe even as high as in the 1950s. No tax on 50k earnings, mandated family leave, free day care. Families may make a comeback, especially if grandma and grandpa can afford to retire a bit early and help out. And free college helps, too. Make the corporations fund it, for the sake of their future (USA born!) workers.

The birth rate won’t go up, we have “free” birth control remember?😎

Good point about the free birth control. My prediction had the assumption that most births in the U.S. are planned and higher family discretionary income = the more the merrier. It would’ve worked for me, hmmm.

If you are running for president, assuming you are not in a primary, you need to offer something to everyone – and be sure to disclaim any suggestion that anyone who is eligible to vote has to pay.

Sorry, I can’t vote for you. You forgot to mandate that every employer must give 42 days of paid vacation in addition to the mandated paid holidays making the USA the most generous country in the world for vacations beating out Sweden at 41 vacation days. Currently the USA mandates no paid vacation days so anything would be welcome and a good campaign promise.
Also you should make everything start in 2021 for two reasons. 1) you are guarantee to get re-elected before taxes would have to be raised. 2) nobody will be able to contribute to your second term campaign if all their money is paying the taxes to support these new entitlements before the 2020 elections. For that matter, vacations will not be much fun either if you have no money and all those vacation spots would have to lay off people.
