...for all.

The Social Security cap needs to disappear, we need wholesale tax reform so that we're taxing wealth, and we need to look to the best social systems abroad and adopt their best elements.

If we don't we will continue to decline.

We are in many ways a third world country as it is, and getting worse.

...evil.

I would destroy them at the polls by educating the masses.

Then the symptoms would resolve on their own.

Expand food stamps so it is robust, expand public medical programs, ditto. Anything left over put into apprenticeship programs for working class youth.

If there is the political will, enact socialism. The only long-term solution will entail the wealth of our country going to social programs. Short of that, expanding the social safety net will help the working people survive until the next crisis of capitalism. I think we're starting to run short of elasticity in that system though...

Thank you for the replies.
