Today the United States of America faces two significant long-term threats – inequality and deteriorating systems of healthcare, transportation, social services, etc.
Our country will decline unless we address both.
Here is a solution to both threats:
Create a comprehensive infrastructure plan to address existing issues; then, raise taxes on billionaires to repair or replace all those items.
In addition, allow for wages and salaries of working people to rise to at least 1972 levels in real purchasing power.
Most elected and appointed officials in national, state and local jurisdictions agree with both the threats and the solutions, but our billionaires have blocked meaningful actions since the 1970's.
The billionaire class determines our future; our future is bright if they choose to support meaningful change, but it is dark if they choose greed.
