During election season, we are constantly questioned and persuaded for who we should choose to run our country. Jill Stein can manage the challenges we face in America.  With the plans that Jill Stein has in store America can get back to being a successful country.  This isn’t necessarily favorable for all citizens of the United States of America. If we had a third party ticket, Jill Stein would be a worthy candidate.

An issue that should be addressed is the right of being equal.  We have worked for many years and succeeded to reach the right we have earned now.  Even though we have gone so far in being equal, we still have the big issues of gay marriage, pro-life, and gender equality.  We all make an effort to create a life in America and some shouldn’t be treated differently due to things they can’t change.  The Declaration of Independence states that everyone deserves to live with the Pursuit of Happiness.  It’s not our duty as citizens to abolish this statement because they are “different” or it’s “wrong” to your beliefs.  Jill Stein believes to put an end to this uneven balance of civil rights.

Another big issue that america is facing is towards the economy.  Jill Stein is very in tune with what is needed for the middle class.  Jill Stein proposes that the best way to stimulate our economy would be by creating jobs. She doesn’t support Romney’s proposal for a 1% tax cut because that would not benefit the middle class. She also suggests cutting military spending which could reduce the national deficit greatly, and bring our troops over seas home.  I believe that this could progress america in the right direction because it focuses on what makes up most of our country, the middle class.  

Going along with the economy we face the problem of taxes.  Only 1% of the population is the upper class.  This 1% makes over $500,000 a year which is obviously not as much as what the middle class is lucky enough to have.  The middle class is simply doing everything they can to sustain the life they live.  It’s pretty visible that the 1% of americans should pay a higher tax to level out with the middle class.

These topics, economy, civil rights, and tax reform, are all the main positions of Jill Stein’s platform.  After reading this, its apparent that she knows how to lead America in the right direction.  Jill knows the ways to fix america’s biggest challenges and this is why all third party voters should make the decision to vote Jill Stein.
