As I've said countless times, the average worker suffers under the American economic model. Things have to change on a fundamental level. We know that wages have failed to keep up with inflation, and that the top 10 percent of income earners have seen magnificent gains while the rest of us have seen, statistically speaking, nothing. It seems Republicans (and moderate Democrats) have conditioned workers to be content with this reality. This has been an issue for over 30 years. Through Clinton and Obama too.
I align with the political philosophy of social democracy. It's time to take note from its success in the Nordic countries. The average American deserves more. Congress (Dems and Repubs alike) almost unanimously passed the disgusting and highly unnecessary $700 billion to our military complex while we bicker about whether or not we can afford a universal healthcare system. Repulsive.
Because the GOP has been masters at throwing crumbs at society getting them to focus on the short term feel good. Dangle the carrot on the hamster wheel, knowing they don't see the long term bubble the sort term feel good does.
Yes. There was more balance in the tax system decades ago BEFORE the tax cuts.
