Let's come up with a catchy NAME for our vision for a Progressive, caring economic policy.
Capitalism can be so much better with a safety net.
Let's keep the Incentives to work hard and take risks, but let no person ever be left w/o food, medicine,
or shelter. The Republicans use Trickle-Down Economics policy. The GOP claims that cutting taxes for the wealthiest results in more business investment and growth. In reality, the 1% keep more money and the 99% has a lot less.
Also, the GOP is
opposed to Social Security and Medicare. The GOP is opposed to Welfare to poor people. I think that we need a strong safety net. Let people study hard, work hard, take risks, and be rewarded. For those that
fail or have bad luck, or whatever, let's give them basic housing, food, and health coverage. In America, there should never be a single person sleeping in a car or alley. Nobody should die because they can't afford $400 for insulin.
Oopsy. I hit enter and sent the first tweets in this before I finished.
We can so easily afford this. This is basically what Warren and Sanders are talking about. The GOP is great at Messaging. They keep calling this Socialism.
That's not completely accurate. In fact, what we advocate for is very different. Also, we already have a lot of Socialist policies. The GOP has called us Socialists for many decades. It's one of their go-to Insults and it's effective.
So, what I want to do is Brainstorm and come up with a clever name for the best part of Capitalism, combined with a robust safety net.
Here are some of my ideas:
Win-Win Capitalism
Fair Capitalism
Capitalism with a Heart
Capitalism Plus
Dang it. Hit enter by again by accident.
More ideas for the Progressive Rebranding of our economic vision:
Modern Capitalism
No Person left behind
I'd Love it if everyone could help Brainstorm this. Thank-You.
This concludes the main thread.
