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.

Tax breaks are not giving anyone money or a service. It simply means that the government lets a business keep more of the money that they create to reinvest it in the company. WhT do you think “pay for it” means? To pay for school or healthcare you must take from someone else

How much will federal revenues increase by taxing the wealthy and corporations in the next 15 years? How much are Social Security and Medicare’s budgets scheduled to increase over the next 15 years?

You realize if we took all of Bezos’s money we could run the government for about 2 weeks? Then where does the money come from? Bill Gates? Ok, like 10 more days. Then what?
