Constitutional Amendment - A Modern Check on Government
We, the people of the United States, declare that the expenditure of money in politics does not constitute free speech but instead amplifies certain voices disproportionately. To restore fairness and ensure equal representation, we find this practice no longer acceptable. Through this amendment, we affirm the necessity of limiting the influence of money and external entities in American elections, enhancing transparency, and implementing measures for ethical modern governance to preserve our democracy for future generations of Americans.

The War on Wealth Policy Analysis
Austin Winkelman for Congress 2026
Introduction and Policy Overview
In this analysis, we evaluate the effects of repealing the 2017 Trump-era tax cuts and implementing a
modernized version of post–World War II U.S. tax policy. During the post-WWII era (1940s–1960s), the U.S.
tax code featured very high progressive rates – top marginal income tax rates above 90% and corporate tax rates
around 50% – alongside a broader tax base. We consider a proposal that emulates that framework, updated for today’s economy.
