I would just add a few measures that speak to the corporate victimization of the public and exploitation of public resources.

11. Economic justice for homeowners and student debtors. Rewrite all mortgages at fixed
4% for thirty years, lower mortgages to no more than 100% of current market value. For student loans, lower interest rate to the same amount banks pay at the Fed discount window.
Allow all mortgage, student debt and credit card debt to be discharged in bankruptcy.

12. Stop the privatization of public, taxpayer owned property, essential services, resources
and utilities (i.e. "our commons"). From prisons to "urban districts", no one has a right to sell,
privately control or profit what belongs to everybody.

13. Legalize hemp; regulate and tax pot like alcohol and cigarettes. Treat drug addiction as a health issue not as a crime.
