Daniel Sticka

My name is Daniel Sticka, and I am building this platform because I want to push for a brighter future, not just for us but for those who come after. For a long time I assumed we were going two steps forward and one step back, though in reality it has been standing still and two steps back, seeing how we have yet to reverse the course set by those who have done systematic harm to this country and to others. So I want to start from scratch. Fourteen ideas, borrowed and expanded on from other places and other times, each one laid out in full in a video. I encourage the scrutiny. Poke holes in them, make them better, and together we will figure out what comes next.

Not Left. Forward. Not Right.

Three of the 15 Ideas
Policy 01 of 14

Universal Healthcare

Medical, dental, vision, mental health, all of it, covered by a fifty-dollar copay. Preventative care costs a fraction of what reactive care does, though that is not what the industry wants, seeing how everyone along the chain makes more treating a disease than preventing one. That puts a six hundred billion dollar strain on the economy every year, funding the people who have no real interest in your health. The inefficiency is on purpose. The system is designed around your demise.

Policy 02 of 14

Universal Basic Income

Five hundred a month when it starts, two thousand by Year Five. No means test, no work requirements, no paperwork of any kind. You are a citizen, you get it, that is the whole thing. Most of it is paid for by pulling back defense spending, in that we currently spend over a trillion dollars a year maintaining a military presence in places that have not asked us to be there, and redirecting even a portion of that toward the people who actually live here changes the numbers considerably.

Policy 03 of 14

Education Reform

Every teacher has a master's degree and gets paid like it. Twenty kids per class at most. No standardized test every six weeks. And every child born here gets a savings account that reaches sixty-seven thousand dollars by the time they are eighteen, in that it can go toward college or trade school with nothing owed on the back end. Finland does all of this, and Finland consistently produces some of the most educated people on earth. We could just do that.

14 Policies.
One System.

These ideas do not just share a platform, they interconnect with one another in ways that matter. A new banking system, a new information system, infrastructure and more, each of these props the others up while still standing on its own, in that the goal is a foundation you can actually stand on, one that gives you more control over your own life and less dependency on those who would rather keep you in place. They are designed to help those who need it and catch those who fall.

"Not left. Not right. Forward."

Daniel Sticka

If any of this resonates.

One idea that hopefully reaches many minds. I would like you to join me in this, not just to think about it but to press those who are our employees to actually give a damn about people. I hope something comes from this, whether that is actual change or just the right inspiration reaching the right person at the right time. The best time to do something is right now.
