1/ The main conduit of wealth inequality is unfair tax policy. For the last 40 years we’ve been transferring wealth into the hands of a few through increasingly reduced taxes for top earners as well as corporate subsidies and financial deregulation.

2/ With the 2017 $2 Trillion tax cut, 83 cents of every dollar went to the very richest people. The idea that any of that money is “trickling down” and “lifting all boats” is like a sick joke now; it has left and is leaving tens of millions of people without even a life vest.

Plus rich have armies of wealth consultants to take advantage of every legal and illegal loophole. Rich are almost defined by their hatred of paying tax!

Democrats have known this for years. By now someone should have a solution. I'm a 65 year old Democrat. I haven't seen much in a solution in decades even when the Democrats had control. Its time for constructive constitutional change.

The plan keeps on working. Crush the middle class. History shows this never last because the poor/middle class RISE up in some way.

Because the money will trickle up and leave everyone with nothing? Where does the money come from in the first place? Do you have a money tree?

I really question the notion that a cut in taxes is somehow a giveaway
