[edit] Policy Positions
Woollard is the author of several innovative bills he plans introduce to Congress upon election.
The goal of his Fiscal Recovery Act is to reduce consumption, reduce dependence on foreign oil, enhance our national security, improve the environment, promote fairness in taxation and simplify the tax code.
Woollard also proposes to Declare War on Corporate Warfare. On this issue, Woollard says "Our government is starved in tax revenue while our financial obligations have never been greater. Carnival Cruise lines has taken advantage of tax loopholes to avoid nearly a half-billion dollars in taxes, and it is only one example of such practices."
