Public Services. We believe that if our society is to flourish, it requires skilled and educated workers and a solid physical infrastructure. The common good is cultivated by a vigorous and responsible public sector in transportation, education, the arts, and entertainment.
We, therefore, support:
Public investment in adult education, training, and professional development.
Creating and maintaining affordable, effective public transportation systems that cut down on carbon emissions and make travel cost-effective and convenient.
Investments in scientific research and technology that advance the common good, and do not just increase the profits of private corporations.
Intellectual property laws that advance the public good.
Increased public funding for basic research and development.
Anti-trust legislation and enforcement to resist the formation of media conglomerates, and, if necessary, to break up those that exist.
Public ownership of the airwaves.
Leasing through auction the electromagnetic spectrum for commercial use to recover its full market value.
Net neutrality so that users may access legal content without restrictions imposed by their internet service providers (ISPs).
The creation of local, public internet service providers (ISPs) and universal Wi-Fi access to the internet.
The public ownership of natural monopolies, such as toll roads and bridges, community policing, parking enforcement, public transportation, prisons, and energy and water utilities.
