My fellow Americans,
I stand before you today with a sense of duty and responsibility. Responsibility to lead our country and do what is right for the betterment of the people. To Lead us to a brighter future, a future that we have dreamed of for so long. A future where everyone has a chance, regardless of where they came from. I present to you a vision for America, a vision for care, compassion, progress, and fairness for all people.
First I would like to address our economic standpoints. Millions of hard working Americans struggle to make ends meet, and struggle to provide for their family. While the 1% is more than comfortable with their unimaginable wealth. That is why we need to make taxing fair, why we need to tax the rich more. Put yourself in a low income citizen's shoes. If they receive a bill for $5,000 that is going to leave a huge impact on them, they may not be able to afford their basic needs for a period of time. Whereas someone with millions of dollars would not be harshly impacted at all. As president I also promise to raise the minimum wage by 30% to ensure that jobs serve their intended purpose. To provide. In addition to that I will also raise the salaries of our educators, who shape the future of our nation. The rising costs of higher education is leaving countless Americans without the future they deserve, or under mountains of debt. I will fix this issue by providing better financial aid and scholarships to alleviate this debt. Making higher education more accessible to all.
Business is a very important issue for us. Small businesses are an essential part of our economy, yet they don't have equal opportunities to gain growth and success. I promise to support and fund small businesses, ending the spread and expansion of chain businesses. We also believe that Child labor has no place in America. It is an abomination, and violation of human rights. I will dedicate my time to put an end to this, and ensure that every child is protected under my care. The fashion industries dependance on fast fashion is wrecking our environment and exploiting our valuable workers. I will advocate for sustainable practices and enforce ethical production and manufacturing.
One of our top priorities is helping our planet thrive. Our planet, our home, is in crisis. It is facing threats from climate change, pollution, and deforestation. I will prioritize protecting our forests and our animals' natural habitats. I will invest in renewable energy, conservation, and a higher maximum penalty for littering. We also prioritize legalizing weed to benefit our environment. Hemp is a sustainable material that can replace synthetic materials, cotton, and harmful plastics. It is completely biodegradable and can be made into many different materials. Marijuana also has significant medical uses for people who deal with chronic pain.
Our most significant topic and the one that voters should be most passionate about is our protection of human rights. LGBTQ+ rights are basic human rights, no question about it. As president I will ensure their rights for marriage, adoption, IVF and medical care. Access for reproductive health care should never be questioned. It is a woman's body therefore it is her choice no one else's. I will ensure Women have the right to choose. I will overturn any attempts to restrict a woman's rights for abortion services. Healthcare is a fundamental human right and yet many Americans still lack access to quality and affordable healthcare. I will expand healthcare coverage for all people. Women, People of Color, Mentally ill, Disabled, LGBTQ+, and low income citizens. Another right Americans should have is feeling safe in their own environment. Gun violence is a pressing issue in our society, taking away countless innocent lives every day. I will enact stricter gun laws to ensure protection for the individuals of this country.
My fellow Americans, the challenges we face are immense, but so is my initiative to overcome them. Together we can build a future, the caring future we want to see. For us, for our children and for generations to come. Let us create a better tomorrow.
Thank you, and God Bless America.
