In less than a decade, China and India's population will reach nearly 3 billion combined. One of my more controversial ideas that I have written about since 2015 is the idea that to remain competitive and in a leadership role, America may need to merge with other nations. Our natural partners are Europe and Canada, and possibly Mexico, but even then we would not even be close to as populated as China. This is why I support a nearly open immigration platform, to help grow our population. Trump is worried about the next four years with his wall, but I am worried about the next 25. Furthermore, if we're not careful about establishing a full world democratic government in the future on Earth, then we may lose that option when China or someone else gets large enough to start calling the shots. #UpgradingAmerica #Zoltan2020

As President I'd create incentives for more diversity in government. While this includes women and minorities, more importantly, it includes diversity of profession. We need to get most of the lawyers out of Washington--they are the scourge of our time. We

As President I'd create incentives for more diversity in government. While this includes women and minorities, more importantly, it includes diversity of profession. We need to get most of the lawyers out of Washington--they are the scourge of our time. We need Drs, plumbers, teachers, firefighters, etc in office since they understand the country's troubles. I also would aim to get a #secular person on the #SupremeCourt. (Pic with Jacques Fresco and Roxanne Meadows of Venus Project) To help the campaign, please donate. #UpgradingAmerica #Zoltan2020

Want to know more about how I plan to fund my #BasicIncome for every American? While the Democrats are tripping over each other to raise and create #taxes for their ideas, my plan won't do that. In fact, over time, it would probably lower taxes as it replaces various social programs with one big monthly check: https://www.businessinsider.com/basic... #UpgradingAmerica #Zoltan2020
