Make Earth Great Again
Decentralist for Congress | Nevada's 1st District
Not left. Not right. Structural. I didn't come to fix the system. I came to replace it with something that works.

1913: The Year America Broke

Three changes in one year — federal income tax, direct election of senators, and the Federal Reserve — gave Washington unlimited fuel, removed the states' brake, and handed the money printer to unelected bankers. Everything since has been a consequence.

READ THE DIAGNOSIS

Core Principles

Selection, Not Elections

Representatives chosen by sortition. No campaigns. No donors. No permanent political class. Just citizens serving their neighbors.

Citizens as Shareholders

Every American receives a direct dividend from national prosperity. Your share of the country's success, deposited directly. No middlemen.

No Income Tax

You keep what you earn. Consumption tax only. The more you spend, the more you contribute. Save and invest freely.

True Ownership

No property tax. Once you own it, you own it. No annual rent to the government for the privilege of keeping your home.

State CEOs

Governors appointed by the President. Accountable for results. No lifetime politicians. Run the state like it matters.

Community Healthcare

10% tithe funds local clinics, doctors, and emergency care. Your community, your healthcare. No insurance companies. No federal bureaucracy.

Toroidal Economics

The economy isn't broken. It's being drained. Eliminate the waste, and the surplus appears. Return the surplus to the people, and they spend it. When they spend it, GDP grows. When GDP grows, the surplus grows. When the surplus grows, the dividend grows.

Eliminate Waste → Surplus Appears → Dividends to Citizens
→ Citizens Spend → GDP Grows → Tax Revenue Grows
→ Larger Dividends → Repeat Forever
↻ The Toroidal Flow — self-sustaining, self-funding

This isn't theory. It's arithmetic. The money is already there. We're just giving it to the wrong people.

The Continental Union

America doesn't end at the border. Properly unified and managed, the Western Hemisphere becomes the most powerful economic bloc in human history. That's MEGA — not just one country, the whole Earth.

1B+ Citizens
$100T GDP
$100K Per Capita
$10,000 Annual Dividend

United States. Canada. Mexico. Central America. Caribbean. Colombia. Venezuela. Brazil. Argentina. Peru. Chile. Ecuador. Bolivia. Paraguay. Uruguay. Greenland. One economic union — Greenland to Tierra del Fuego. 33,000 representatives chosen by lottery. Everyone a shareholder.

EXPLORE THE ECONOMICS

The 80/10/10 System

Every dollar you receive:

Community Healthcare

The 10% tithe replaces government healthcare, insurance companies, and federal bureaucracy. A community of 30,000 people generates $34.2 million per year in tithe funds. That's enough for clinics, doctors, emergency services, mental health support, and elder care. Your neighbors run it. You walk in and get care. No forms. No denials. No CEO making $20 million while you wait for approval.

Soldier Cards: Direct Care for Veterans

The VA has a $400 billion budget and 400,000 employees. Veterans wait years for disability ratings. Claims get denied, appealed, denied again. The system is designed to exhaust you into giving up.

I know because I lived it. I filed three times. Paid out of pocket for surgery that should have been covered. Still can't get a rating for conditions the military caused. The VA didn't fail—it worked exactly as designed: deny, delay, hope they die.

$400B VA Budget
18M Veterans
$22K Per Veteran/Year
400K VA Employees

The math is simple: divide the budget by the veterans. That's $22,000 per veteran per year. Instead, we spend billions on buildings, administrators, IT systems that don't work, and bureaucrats whose job is to deny claims.

The Soldier Card Solution

This isn't complicated. It's obvious. The only reason it doesn't happen is that too many people get paid to maintain the broken system. Veterans are the justification for the budget, not the beneficiaries of it.

NV-01 includes the heart of Las Vegas — service workers, small business owners, and veterans who know exactly what I'm talking about. It's time for a representative who's been through the system, not one who just thanks us for our service.

About Roy

Background

  • 23 years in theater
  • Deployed: Afghanistan, UAE, Qatar
  • SOF infrastructure & targeting
  • AI systems architect
  • Self-funded Bachelor's & Master's
  • Henderson, Nevada

I spent over two decades building systems for the warfighter. Command and control. Targeting. Intelligence fusion. I've seen what works and what doesn't. I've watched billion-dollar programs fail while simple solutions sat ignored.

The Decentralist framework isn't ideology. It's pattern recognition. The same first-principles thinking that builds working systems can rebuild governance. Strip away the complexity. Find the simple solution that actually works. Implement it.

I'm not a politician. I don't want to be one. I'm a systems architect who sees that the American system is badly designed and can be fixed. MEGA isn't a slogan — it's an engineering specification.

A Note on Neurodivergence

I have Asperger's and CPTSD. I'm open about this because the stigma around neurodivergence and mental health is wrong and dangerous. The pattern-recognition brain that wrote 20 papers in one sitting isn't a disorder — it's a different operating system. Getting help for the hard parts is strength, not weakness. If you're struggling, get help. It doesn't disqualify you from building things that matter.

"The dividend is the counterinsurgency. People who are prospering don't rebel."

Their Record: Shutdown After Shutdown

While four terrorist attacks hit American soil in two weeks — Austin, Gracie Mansion, Old Dominion, Temple Israel — the Department of Homeland Security remains unfunded. TSA workers aren't getting paid. Airport lines stretch for hours. And your representatives did nothing.

Dina Titus (NV-01)

76 years old. In Nevada politics since the 1980s. Voted to keep DHS shut down while her constituents wait in TSA lines and terrorists attack American cities. 40 years in office. What has changed?

Susie Lee (NV-03)

Voted the same way. Same party. Same result. Las Vegas depends on tourism and airports — and both representatives let DHS stay dark during spring break season while the threat level is the highest in years.

4 terror attacks in 12 days. DHS unfunded.

This is what happens when politicians play games with national security. Both parties broke it. MEGA fixes it.

Task Force 535

535 members of Congress vote to send troops to war, set their pay, fund their healthcare, and decide whether they live or die. But not a single one of them lives next to the people whose lives depend on their votes.

That ends now.

TF535 is simple: every sitting member of Congress lives on a military installation while serving in Washington. Eat in the chow hall. Sleep in base housing. Look the troops in the eye every single day.

Accountability Through Proximity

You vote to send troops to war? You see them at breakfast. You vote to cut military pay? Your neighbor is the one you just cut. You vote to defund the VA? The guy with the prosthetic leg is sitting across from you at dinner.

No More $3,000 DC Apartments

Members of Congress make $174,000 a year. An E-3 makes $26,000 and lives in the dorms. If the troops can do it, Congress can do it. Save taxpayer money. End the lobbyist-funded lifestyle. Live like the people you serve.

Skin in the Game

It is easy to vote for war from a Georgetown townhouse. It is a lot harder when the 19-year-old you are sending is your neighbor. TF535 makes every vote personal. As it should be.

"If an E-3 making $26K can live in the dorms and serve this country, a congressman making $174K can too."

Why Congress?

I'd rather be an advisor than a legislator. But someone has to introduce the bills. Someone has to stand on the floor and explain why the current system is designed to fail. Someone has to be the voice for ideas that neither party will touch because both parties benefit from the status quo.

NV-01 deserves a representative who isn't bought, isn't playing the long game for a lobbying job, and isn't afraid to say what everyone knows: the system is broken and both parties broke it.

What I'll fight for:
