1. I remember Jack Kennedy's call to service. Then LBJ enacted the Civil Rights acts and attempted to advance his Great Society programs. The current Democratic Party left wing leaves me cold because its vision is based on entitlement and grievance.
2. I just don't think that works. We need to tirelessly appeal to our better angels. Not settle old scores. It's simple: Tax the ultra-rich like we did for folks earning over $260,000 in 1951: 91%. The rest will take care of itself. And a simple change in the Bankruptcy code
3. and Medicare expansion fixes school loans & medical insurance issues. Medicare can be paid by tax of 7% on all income. Earn $10,000 and you pay $700. Earn $10 billion and you pay $700 million. I think 7% should do it but I'd like to see what Cong. Budget Office (@USCBO) says.
4. Unions and employers can focus on worker income increases in negotiations not insurance deductibles. Imagine ending the employer contribution? That tax change would put people to work. Not the Trump highway robbery tax cuts.
