All public policy should be built around one core principle: what would most help people thrive? That’s the key to peace & the key to prosperity. Every area of public policy lends itself to that question & while the political system avoids the question, we the people must ask it.

What would tax policy be if our goal was to help people thrive? What would education policy be if our goal was to help people thrive? What would healthcare be if our goal was to help people thrive? What would our national security agenda be if our goal was to help people thrive?

I agree. If we based public policy on some of the writings of Richard Sennett we would be a lot better off.

@SenWarren has a plan for that. Do you? No kidding, this goal motivates her policies. I don’t agree with every policy she has (i.e., some won’t achieve the commin good), but I respect her attempts to work towards this goal and believe she is usually/mostly in the right track
