    • We’re not talking about more taxes, we’re talking about redistribution, narrowing that widened gulf between the holders of wealth and the dispossessed.

      We’re talking about redressing the massive shift in equities of the last 30 years, from Reagan on.

      There are reasons that the culture records a lack of progress in recent decades of that old American Dream – it stopped happening, and regresssive ideologies rolled back a lot of the well-being of ordinary people.

      Every chance, every micro-opportunity arising in the legislative chamber to redress this imbalance will be taken I trust, and should be taken, by the Democrats who were elected in general principle to do this very thing.
