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.

Universal healthcare, TAX PAYER FUNDED COLLEGE, no college or medical debt, LIVING WAGE (no one should ever be asked to work for anything less then enough to actually live on), ditto to the rest......
Replying to @marwilliamson
All those things can be provided if you ELIMINATE the government as it stands now. How can you get rid of people's debt when you are 26 trillion in debt now?
Replying to @marwilliamson
You’d have more luck getting that provided by the free market than the government. I’m not sure I can think of one thing the government hasn’t figured out how to mess up.

How does government provide anything? Do you not believe in property rights?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Especially given the amount of money we all pay in taxes. Would be nice to see it used in useful ways!!
Replying to @marwilliamson
Far from radical, these are very practical ways to run a healthy society.
Replying to @marwilliamson
How is something "free"? Why aren't you lobbying against the central bank which screws with purchasing power via a Congress that blows through the income of people who are not even born yet?
Replying to @marwilliamson
What do you consider "fair minimum wage"?
