Aleander Portelli’s 10 Campaign Promises

1) End the Federal Income Tax for Working Americans

For most of America’s existence, there was no federal income tax at all.
When it was introduced in 1913, Americans were promised it would be:

  • temporary,

  • used only to fund WWI, and

  • applied only to the richest 1%.

Instead, it became a permanent burden on working families.

I will introduce a bill to repeal the federal income tax for every person and business earning under $1 million a year.
Working Americans will keep every dollar they earn — the way America used to operate.


2) End All Foreign Aid

America spends $50 billion a year on foreign aid while half of Americans can’t afford a $500 emergency.

This is national insanity.

I will introduce a bill to end all foreign aid immediately until every American is secure in their housing, healthcare, food, and future.


3) Kick Out National Grid – Restore Energy Independence

New York once had:

  • the cheapest electricity in the world,

  • the first electrified homes in America,

  • and full state control over energy through NYPA.

Politicians sold us out, handing our grid to a British for-profit corporation — National Grid — while banning nuclear reactors, hydropower dams, fracking, and oil development.

Meanwhile, we now pay Canada for power generated with methods our politicians banned here.

I will introduce a bill to:

  • Ban foreign corporations from running America’s power grids

  • Force NYPA to retake full control of energy delivery

  • Reopen Indian Point

  • Build new modular nuclear reactors and hydropower dams

  • Allow counties to opt-in to fracking

  • Restore true energy independence and slash electricity prices


4) End the American Empire – Bring Our Troops Home

We maintain 750+ overseas bases while American towns crumble.

I will introduce a bill to:

  • Close 99% of foreign bases

  • Bring troops home

  • Reinforce our own borders

  • Rebuild our own cities, not foreign governments

  • Audit the Pentagon to end waste and fraud

Even with 99% of overseas bases closed, the United States would still retain 8 bases, more than enough to carry whatever minimal strategic goals we have across the world.

America must defend America, not maintain an unaffordable empire. 


5) Revive American Industry and Agriculture

Foreign nations have advantages America does not — because of our own outdated laws.

I will introduce a bill :

  • Raise U.S. trucking weight limits to 102,000 lbs 

  • Expand trucker duty windows to 15 hours, like Canada

  • Modernize slaughter laws: allow veterinarians and privately certified farm clinics to act as USDA inspectors,. This will put local ranchers and farmers on an even playing field with those in Australia and Brazil, both countries with similar rules and who export meat to United States.

  • Allow farmers to process and sell meat for domestic or international export with vet certification

  • Repeal federal gas and diesel taxes

  • Replace payroll taxes with tariffs

  • Break corporate meatpacking monopolies and return food processing to local communities

America should grow, raise, build, process, and ship its own products, not outsource them.


6) Restore Sound Money — End Inflation

Inflation is not an accident. It is government policy.

I will introduce a bill to:

  • Restore a Bretton Woods–style gold standard

  • Audit the Federal Reserve

  • Stop reckless money printing

  • Protect the value of the dollar and the savings of every American family

Strong money means strong wages.


7) Ban Property Taxes Above 0.25% — Restore Homeownership

This is one of my most controversial plans. To introduce a bill to ban municipalities nationwide from taxing homeowners more than 0.25% of the appraised value of their home. The Federal Government will enforce it through federal funding withholdings for States that do not comply.

Why 0.25%?

Because this was the actual property-tax rate for nearly all of U.S. history.
From the 1700s through the early 20th century, Americans paid 0.25%–0.50%, commonly at the low end.

Today, property taxes have exploded:

  • 1.11% national average

  • 2–3%+ in states like New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and Texas

A family in New York buying a $300,000 home pays $9,000 a year just to “keep” it.

That is not homeownership — that is permanent rent to the government.

I will introduce a bill to:

  • Ban property taxes above 0.25% nationwide

  • Force municipalities to cut waste, corruption, and bloated bureaucracies

  • Restore true homeownership and revive small towns

  • Free families from crushing annual tax burdens

This reform alone will revitalize the entire American middle class. 


8) Replace Medicaid & Obamacare With a Free VA Public Health Option

Medicaid and Obamacare cost over $1 trillion annually and deliver:

  • higher premiums

  • higher deductibles

  • less access

  • and more bureaucracy

I will introduce a bill to:

  • Eliminate Medicaid and Obamacare completely

  • expand the already existing government owned VA hospital system to have a public department for all citizens

  • Fund the system with tariffs on tobacco, cigarettes, sugar, salt, alcohol imports, and prescription pill imports

  • Remove government involvement from private healthcare entirely

  • Force private hospitals and insurers to dramatically drop prices or go out of business

  • Save ~$250 billion annually in bloated bureaucracy

This is real reform — simple, affordable, and efficient.


9) Fair Taxation for the Ultra-Rich and Mega-Corporations

Americans making under $1 million will pay no income tax.

But the corporations and individuals who profit the most from American infrastructure will finally contribute their fair share.

I will introduce a revised tax bracket as follows:

  • A 55% federal income-tax bracket for all companies and individuals earning over $100 million a year

  • A 65% bracket for all companies and individuals earning over $500 million a year

  • A crackdown on offshore tax havens

  • Elimination of corporate loopholes

    Bracket 1: $0 – $993,000

    • Tax Rate: 0%

    Bracket 2: $993,000 – $50,043,000

    • Tax Rate: 37%

    Bracket 3: $50,043,001 – $500,973,000

    • Tax Rate: 50%

    Bracket 4: $500,973,001 and above

    • Tax Rate: 65%

The bottom 99% get tax freedom — the ultra-elite pay the bill they’ve avoided for decades. 

By doing this, we can also enact the Abolition of the IRS, saving tax payers billions.

Since only the wealthy would pay income tax, the IRS can be dissolved, Replaced with a limited-scope Tariff & Revenue Bureau within the Department of the Treasury. It’s focus could be on tariff administration, high-income audits, corporate tax enforcement, and excise and health-tariff compliance.


10) Restore Tariffs and End Globalist Trade

From the Founding through 1913, tariffs funded nearly the entire federal government.

I will introduce a bill to:

  • Restore tariffs to rebuild American manufacturing

  • Replace payroll taxes with tariffs

  • Fund the VA health option with tariffs

  • Protect American workers from foreign competitors whose governments subsidize their industries

This is how America funded itself for 150 years — and it worked. By doing this, we get rid of income tax, payroll tax, gas tax, diesel tax, capital gains tax, and many other bureaucratic taxes.

 

11) Streamline the Federal Government to save tax payer trillions

To help pay off the catastrophic $38 trillion debt, Federal downsizing and restructuring must occur. 

I will introduce a bill shutting down a number of agencies, which must be done to save the tax payers money.

These include:

  • The CIA (Intelligence streamlined into a bureau of the Department of Defense)

 

  • The ATF (streamlined into FBI)

 

  • The DEA (Streamlined into FBI)
  • Medicaid (saving tax payers a trillion annually and replacing with a better system for both those who want a public option, and those who want a market option)

 

  • The IRS

 

  • Over 750 overseas military installations, leaving 8 remaining.

 

  • 50% to 70% of the Pentagon.

 

SUMMARY: WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

After all reductions, the core functions that remain include:

  • Treasury (with Tariff & Revenue Bureau)

  • Defense (significantly smaller, domestically focused)

  • Justice (with FBI expanded to absorb ATF/DEA functions)

  • State Department (scaled-down diplomatic operations)

  • Homeland Security (essential components only)

  • VA (expanded to include civilian-access basic healthcare)

  • Core environmental safety

  • Federal courts

  • Social Security (funded through tariffs, not payroll taxes)

 

 

12) Restore America’s Immigration System to Pre-1965 Priorities

The 1965 Immigration Act fundamentally altered the demographics and stability of the nation.
I will reverse it and restore control to the American people.

I will introduce a bill to:

  • Repeal the Immigration Act of 1965

  • Withdraw from all asylum treaties forcing the U.S. to accept claims

  • End all H-1B visas and corporate guest-worker pipelines

  • Allow temporary farm-worker visas only

  • Bar foreign-born nationals from all federal elected or appointed offices

  • Prioritize immigration from culturally compatible nations

  • End sanctuary cities

  • Deport all recent illegal entrants

And most importantly:

Make illegal entry a federal felony, punishable by 15 years in prison, mandatory deportation, and a lifetime re-entry ban.
