The Platform

Communist Party USA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Among the points in the party's 'Immediate Program' are a $12/hour minimum wage for all workers, national universal health care, and opposition to privatization of United States Social Security. Economic measures such as increased taxes on 'the rich and corporations', 'strong regulation' of the financial industry, 'regulation and public ownership of utilities', and increased federal aid to cities and states; opposition to the Iraq War and other military interventions; opposition to free trade treaties such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); nuclear disarmament and a reduced military budget; various civil rights provisions; campaign finance reform including public financing of campaigns; and election law reform, including Instant Runoff Voting.[48]"
No this is not the Democrat Party platform. It's the Communist Party platform of course. And they're different how again? I know, you're shocked, shocked...
