The New American Left (NAL) is one of the major contemporary politic parties in the United States. In contrast to its primary political rival, the Libertarian-Republican Party, the NAL is a very new political organization, having only been founded on October 5th, 2022. The party was founded as a big tent, and its official platform coalesces a number of generally liberal and progressive views. However, since the Small Exodus, its politics have continually trended toward left of center.
The party is lead by the NALNC, an internally-elected, five-person committee that runs and governs the party at large. Its internal structure, as outlined by its constitution, is philosophically decentralized, though constitutional conventions since the party's founding have put more power in the hands of the NALNC. Prior to the present constitution, it was lead by a designated Federal Elections Commission Coordinator. The first and only individual to hold the title was Irene Taylor who, following the party's Second Convention, was elected Party Chair thereafter.
The NAL won a majority of seats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2022 November General Election, upsetting previously held majorities in both chambers. The party's present control of Congress has been marked by several controversies, including the Greyson Tax Scandal, the Small Exodus, and general accusations of low-quality legislative submissions. Several members of the NAL Caucus were involved in both resolving and propagating dimensions of the Ddet Patent Controversy.
Greyson Tax Scandal
On December 9, 2022, Representative Jeremey Greyson submitted to the House of Representatives the Corporation Tax Act (CTA). The bill implemented previously undone taxes on businesses and corporations, with stipulations as high as 65% for windfall profits of over ten thousand dollars. The CTA and, by consequence, Greyson, were immediately embroiled in controversy surrounding the relatively atmospheric tax hike.
President Valerie, of Jefferson, took to Twitter day of and criticized Greyson and the NAL for a 'wildly unacceptable move'. Widespread criticism from several political organizations, leaders, and individuals followed, culminating in the bill's retraction from House consideration and Greyson's admittance of the bill's lackluster vetting. While the controversy itself died down, Jeffersonian First Secretary Tucker Carlson publicly lambasted Greyson and advocated that he be voted out of office. Other members of the Jeffersonian government, including President Valerie, voiced similar views.
As of December 28, 2022, no version of the CTA, amended or not, has returned to the House or Senate.
