Welfare Policy

While some Americans enjoy financial stability, many of our neighbors live paycheck to paycheck, often facing impossible choices between basic necessities like food and bills. In Nebraska alone, 10.8% of our population lives below the poverty line - a situation that demands immediate attention and action.

As the cost of living continues to rise across the United States, we propose a progressive approach where those with greater means contribute more to support our community. This redistribution through progressive taxation ensures that we can maintain essential services while relieving the burden on those struggling to make ends meet.

By reducing the tax burden on low-income families, we create opportunities for financial stability and growth. This allows families to save for homeownership and invest in their futures. Additionally, we are committed to raising the minimum wage to ensure all working Americans can maintain a dignified standard of living.

Our comprehensive approach includes affordable housing initiatives that will help families establish stable homes and eventually contribute back to the economy. This creates a positive cycle of economic growth and community development, benefiting all Americans regardless of their economic status.
