Make the us government a public utility again!!!

Ultimately all economic rents from government created privileges should be socialised as far as possible
So land rent, natural resources, IP, electro-magnetic spectrum, bank seigniorage etc

We need a full employment green infrastructure program

Either you care about other people, and hate injustice, or you don't.
It's as simple as that.

If only the tax cuts benefit the low income and middle class working people

Universal Basic Income for America Too Yea!!

Since we have a Minimum Wage, it stands to reason we should have a Maximum Annual Income . . . and an Accumulated Wealth Cap. Instituting both will end so many of the problems we have in our society, from public election funding to the internal reinvestment priority shift that will take place in companies and corporations. If the Annual Maximum Income were set at 1.75 million for individuals and the Accumulated Wealth Cap set at 50 million dollars per family . . . that would be more than enough to live a lifetime in the utmost of luxury. Lets face it folks, the only thing obscene wealth is used for is to exercise power over the powerless . . . so let us put an end to the morbidly wealthy and their ego centered power grabs. By all means, be successful . . . when you reach the Maximums your rewards for success are paid up and it is appropriate that the surplus go back into the society that helped you create the surplus in the first place.

Why not have more programs like SS ?. good idea, only problem, would the people that replace the people that started the programs be honest.

Frankly people that make 40k a year or less, probably shouldn't pay any taxes and up to 100k only pay 10% 100k to 250k 15% 250k to 750k 20%. 1M+ should be maxed at 35% total taxes, I also think that struggling people should have more ways to procure solutions from the gvmnt
