General Discussion

A full point off because I disagree with how the party as a whole "sells"

Raising min wage.
Providing medical care
Raising taxes on the wealthy freeloaders.

I accepted long ago that I am not going to win any friends saying so, but in all sincerity... I just think if we had a more honest talk about it then we could get more done.

It is fine to detail how many rich people didn't pay, but it is more than that.

The 1% have so damn much money they can't even fit it all in their US bank accounts. They have to stash most of it in foreign tax havens. In the meantime the rest of us are struggling to get decent food or our own roof. That is idiotic.

If the richest can sit on mountains of cash then surely they won't go bankrupt paying a decent wage and hacking up 2 measily percentage points more to help pay for the services that keep their labor force fed, housed, educated, healthy, and able to go to work.

Sell that to blue collar whites that ran to the R's after NAFTA. You won't pick up all of them .. but enough.
