The community for creating a new US political party, so far our guiding principle is that billionaires are trash, United Health CEO had it coming, The Adjustor is our mascot and our main raison d'etre is to shit on the rich and take back whats rightfully ours.

Not in order, just quickly wrote these out:

Supreme Court term limits. Nobody should be above the law
More cost-effective public health insurance. Eliminate the middle-men and force big pharma to actually compete instead of robbing patients
Repeal citizen's united and force elections to be grassroots funded, no more corpo doners owning candidates and their platform
Federal gun control modeled after NY and VT laws with background checks, references required, magazine limits, and laws with real teeth for possessing illegal weapons (assault weapons banned)
Free tuition to federally funded secondary education institutions
Increase teacher and professor salaries at non-private schools & universities
Federal elections all vote by mail and voting required by law enforceable with a tax penalty and audit by IRS
end TurboTax and move to IRS version for all taxpayers making under $250K annually
Defund the police and use that budget to fund a new department of public responders that handle non-emergency situations
Invest in small modular nuclear reactors for base load power on the electric grid
Bodily autonomy enshrined in the constitution as an amendment

Where will the money to fund these things come from? How can we involve a robbing from the rich here?

(Edit: one way would be to) Provide funding and power to the IRS so they can chase after big fish. Turns out, the IRS has [a really good return on investment] (https://www.cbo.gov/publication/57444), so giving them the power they need to close loopholes and track down corporate tax evasion would be a boon to the nation’s coffers.
