What We Stand For

The Eagle Party stands for a simple proposition: make America work for Americans again.

Not through ideology. Through measurable outcomes.

The KPIs That Matter

  • LYI-Home: Median years of labor to buy a median home → target ≤2.0
  • LYI-Health: Years of labor for essential annual family care → target ≤0.6
  • LYI-Edu: Years of labor to earn a bachelor's degree → target ≤1.8
  • LYI-Retire: Years of labor to fund median retirement → target ~30
  • Child gun homicides: Per 100k → target ≤0.1 (Nordic band)
  • Debt/GDP: → target 55-65% and declining

The Core Policies

  1. Kill the rent-seeking moats: Ban facility fees, negative credit reporting on student/medical debt, open-market buybacks, FICA cap, zoning cartels
  2. Citizen Equity Trust: Every American owns a slice of the stock market. Dividends, not handouts.
  3. Public = 0% tax, Private = top rate: List it or pay like a person.
  4. Wealth-tax floor: Assets >$10M pay ≥ top property-tax rate. Safety Bonus adjusts based on child homicides.
  5. Fiscal discipline: Borrow only for assets with ROI. Automatic stabilizers, not vibes.

What We Fund

  • Infrastructure with measurable returns
  • Evidence-based safety interventions
  • Catastrophic reinsurance for health and housing
  • Citizen Equity Trust dividends

What We Don't Fund

  • Rent-seeking intermediaries (PBMs, mega-landlords, PE toll-takers)
  • Perpetual entitlements without KPIs
  • Culture war distractions
