For three decades we’ve heard countless proposals to overhaul our tax system, yet
none have moved past talk because political and economic interests kept them stalled.
I’ve heard it repeatedly since 2007: real change won’t happen until voters feel the pain of
rising living costs and elect leaders who will actually act. That’s why I’m offering a single,
practical solution for Californians earning less than $250,000 a year.

For the next two
years—2026 and 2027—every federal income‑tax payment you make will be reimbursed
while we restructure the California tax code. The reclaimed revenue during the
restructuring, will be redirected to infrastructure, social‑safety‑nets, and health‑care
services that our communities need most. This plan is legal, fiscally responsible, and can
become a model for other states struggling with wasteful spending and ineffective federal
programs. Why does crypto matter to this plan? As automation reduces traditional payroll
and personal‑income‑tax receipts, we need new, reliable sources of public funding. The
cryptocurrency sector, with its fast‑moving digital assets and emerging financial‑service
layer, offers concrete levers for generating tax‑friendly revenue streams—something we
can harness responsibly at the state level. Because the federal regulatory landscape is
fragmented—spanning the SEC, Treasury, CFTC, FinCEN, the Fed, and dozens of state
agencies—we’ll start here, in California, where we have the flexibility to act without waiting
for a perfect national solution. By proving success locally, we give the rest of the country a
clear, workable blueprint.

Our Call to action: California voters, the choice is yours. Approve
a bold, legally sound plan that refunds your federal taxes, modernizes our tax code, and
invests directly in the services you rely on. Let’s show the nation that responsible,
innovative fiscal policy is possible—without class‑war rhetoric or endless bureaucratic
gridlock.
