Workers' Alliance Of Holzminden	0	Yes	We proposed this pledge months ago, funded properly: elite tax rates above 40%, paired with real investment in housing, healthcare, and welfare alongside retirement. This version delivers the same $3,900 target with a single point of tax increase and touches nothing else in the budget. It's the minimum version of our idea. But retirees shouldn't wait for anyone's pride to be satisfied first. We're voting Yes.
