VERONICA TANGENT'S POLITICAL MANIFESTO
Veronica Tangent believes in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
as set forth and upheld by the United Nations. Veronica Tangent believes that everyone possesses the right to life, the right to human dignity, as well as the rights of freedom of speech, freedom of religion,
and freedom of assembly. Veronica Tangent believes that state and corporate institutions do not possess the same rights as people, especially in courts of law.
Furthermore, it is a violation of international law when a state or corporation infringes on a person's human rights,
under any circumstances. Veronica Tangent has strong convictions against the use
of offensive violence, whether by state, corporate institution or individual.
Veronica Tangent believes corporate global imperialism lies at the heart of most
human rights violations, often resulting in subsequent reactionary human rights violations as well.
Veronica Tangent believes in the right to private property and wealth, but only within the
limits of international law and never at the expense of any human rights.
Veronica Tangent believes the dominant financial powers and their respective
state supporters must make changes to their respective institutions' structure,
in order to make their wealth less volatile. In particular, the idea that
corporations must increase their profits "at any cost" must be replaced with
a concept of "sustainable business", "respect for international human rights", "respect for the global environment", and "reasonable profit growth".
