All I want is for young people to have the same opportunities I had when I was young. That should not be seen as a radical leftie position. What are now seen as radical left issues are considered moderate policies in most European countries & should be seen that way here as well.

Universal healthcare, free college, no college loan debt, no medical bankruptcy, fair minimum wage…those should be seen as basics provided by government to allow people a reasonable opportunity to thrive. PERIOD.

The same money that is now used to give tax breaks to the very richest & corporate subsidies to huge corporate interests. Plus everything I mentioned would only make the economy grow because more people coukd be productive and creative.

then why is America more sought after by immigrants? Again, you think the grass is greener somewhere else. Stats show it is not.
