The Labor Party exists for one reason: to fight for the people that both parties left behind.
You work hard. You pay your taxes. And every year, it gets harder to pay rent, afford groceries, see a doctor, or save anything at all. Decades of politicians taking corporate money and voting the way their donors tell them to put us here.
We don't take a dime from corporations. Not one. That means when we make a promise, nobody's writing a check to water it down. The agenda below is what we'll fight for, and the policy details behind each plank are available on our website for anyone who wants to see the math.
Big corporations take billions in taxpayer money, then turn around and lay off thousands of people to boost their stock price. The town loses the jobs and the company keeps the subsidies, and both parties let it happen because those same corporations fund their campaigns.
We'll ban involuntary mass layoffs at any company receiving federal contracts, bailouts, or tax breaks. If you take public money, you keep public jobs. We'll claw back subsidies from companies that offshore jobs after taking taxpayer support. And we'll restore the full power of unions to fight back: the right to strike in solidarity with other workers, and the freedom to organize without corporate interference. That means repealing the Taft-Hartley Act, the 1947 law that stripped those rights away.
Your job is your life. We'll treat it that way.

Drug companies charge Americans more than anyone else on Earth for the same medication, while grocery chains and meatpackers post record profits as your grocery bill keeps climbing. Every month, your bank, your airline, and your cable company hit you with fees you never agreed to.
We'll cap prescription drug prices at what other countries pay for the same drugs. We'll pass a federal price-gouging law with real penalties on food, fuel, and medicine. We'll break up the monopolies that control meat processing, grocery distribution, and pharmacy networks. And we'll ban the hidden junk fees on banking, airlines, ticketing, and utilities that drain your account a little more every month.

Right now, billionaires pay a lower effective tax rate than the people who drive their cars and clean their offices. They buy assets, borrow against them tax-free, and pass them to their heirs without ever paying a cent. It's called buy-borrow-die, and it's completely legal because the politicians who could close it take money from the people who use it.
We'll eliminate federal income tax on tips. We'll eliminate federal income tax on Social Security. If you make under $400,000, your rates don't change. Above $1 million, new brackets kick in. We'll require billionaires to pay at least a 25% effective rate, close the buy-borrow-die loophole, and put a wealth tax on fortunes over $50 million. We'll tax Wall Street speculation while protecting your retirement savings. Ninety percent of American households and 75% of businesses pay nothing new under this plan. The revenue it generates covers the current federal budget and leaves a surplus. For the first time in modern history, we can pay down the national debt.
Both parties talk about fiscal responsibility. We're the only one that can deliver it, because we're the only one willing to send the bill to the people who actually owe it.

Private equity firms and hedge funds have been buying up houses across the country, driving prices through the roof in markets where regular people are just trying to find a place to live. Corporations like Blackstone and Invitation Homes own tens of thousands of single-family rentals. Software companies like RealPage help landlords coordinate rent increases behind the scenes. Both parties take real estate money and look the other way.
We'll ban private equity firms and hedge funds from owning single-family homes. We'll cap corporate ownership of rental units in any single market. We'll crack down on algorithmic rent-fixing and restrict corporate LLCs from flipping homes in bulk. And we'll fund the construction of starter homes that regular Americans can actually afford to buy.

Forty years of corporate-friendly trade deals from both parties gutted American manufacturing. Companies shut down factories from the Rust Belt to the Carolinas and chased cheap labor overseas. Whole towns paid the price for it.
We'll require Buy American standards for federal spending and infrastructure projects. We'll rebuild domestic manufacturing in steel, semiconductors, energy equipment, and pharmaceuticals. We'll renegotiate trade deals that let corporations chase cheap labor abroad at the expense of American jobs. And we'll invest directly in the regions hit hardest by offshoring, with apprenticeship and trades funding so the next generation has a path that doesn't require a four-year degree and a mountain of debt.

Corporate chains crush small businesses by undercutting them on price, outlasting them on cash reserves, and lobbying for regulations that favor the big guys. The same monopolies that drive up prices for you also squeeze out the local businesses you'd rather be buying from.
We'll offer job-training tax credits for small and mid-size businesses. We'll enforce anti-monopoly laws so local shops, restaurants, and contractors can compete on a level playing field, and expand fair lending access so small business owners can actually get the capital they need without getting gouged on rates. Under our tax plan, 75% of American businesses pay nothing new. The plan is built to help them grow.

Members of Congress trade stocks based on information the rest of us don't have. When they leave office, they walk straight into lobbying jobs for the industries they were supposed to regulate. Corporate PACs spend billions every cycle to keep both major parties loyal to their donors, and the winner-take-all system locks it all in place.
We'll ban all members of Congress and their families from trading individual stocks, with criminal penalties for violations. We'll overturn Citizens United and ban corporate PAC money in federal elections. We'll close the revolving door between Congress and corporate lobbying. We'll push for proportional representation so voters aren't trapped choosing between two parties that serve the same donors. And we'll support recall elections, so if your representative stops working for you, you can fire them before the next election.
Politicians work for voters. We'll make the law back that up.

Every plank in this platform connects to the same question: can you afford to live a decent life in this country? Good job, affordable home, healthcare that doesn't bankrupt you, a tax code that doesn't punish you for working. That's what we deliver.
We can deliver it because we don't take corporate money. No pharmaceutical company can call us and ask us to water down drug price caps. No Wall Street firm can write us a check and expect us to go easy on hedge fund landlords.
The other parties can't say that. We can. And we'll keep fighting for this platform long after Election Day.
Zero corporate donors. Fifty states. One agenda.
