Too much immigration. Yes immigration is necessary but it needs to be controlled

[b]Too much off shoring with too few incentives to train American workers and keep jobs here [/b]

Inheritance tax needs to be more robust and close many loopholes for the uber wealthy.

More Progressive tax rates

[/quote]

That is a GOP thing. They created it, they own the businesses and do most of the hiring and yet you blame the Dems.[/quote]

Pp. Where did I say I blame the Dem?

It’s both parties. You think Dem don’t run businesses? Huh?

I would vote for a Dem over the current state of republicans, but it is naive to think they aren’t part of the problem. [/quote]

GOP created and negotiated NAFTA
most of the companies that sent manufacturing oversees are owned by republicans
most of the companies that do the hiring domestically are owned by republicans

But Both Sides!!!!1[/quote]

You should be banned for peddling in inaccuracies

NAFTA had to have bi partisan support to be passed. It was signed by Clinton.

I’m not just talking about manufacturing. Let’s move into some modern day realities. Technology. Major co are owned by stockholders, not Rep or Dem. It does not matter what your personal beliefs are, if you are running one of these companies, you will make pro business decisions to increase stockholder value. That’s the reality [/quote]

it was signed by Clinton, but it started during the Reagan administration. Clinton merely signed the document after it had all been designed and negotiated.

Most stock holders are republicans. Yes, there are democrats who own stocks, but let's be reality here about which party controls most of the businesses and most of the money.[/quote]

You are extremely naive. 
The truth is that the super wealthy aren’t loyal republicans or democrats. They don’t have enough votes to affect things one way or another so they buy influence of whoever is in power. They will support whichever candidate they think will make them richer. They don’t care about the issues that the masses care about. They are opportunists and will take advantage of whichever way the tide is turning.

And also, do you think it is only rich people who own stocks? Ever heard of a 401k? What do you think is in those?[/quote]

And, thanks to the rise of Super PACs in recent years, those super wealthy entities are able to somewhat mask the fact that there are mega-donors donating to both sides in a political race to cover their bases no matter who wins.

Disgusting [/quote]

The super wealthy are on a bender to unwind the government and reinstate a system that favors them and steals from the population, with Trump leading the way. So far, starting with DOGE, they’ve successfully executed various schemes to make this happen.  The“war” with Iran and spat with the Pope are just the most recent schemes to further throw the country out of balance, financially and culturally. MAGA just laps it up because they think there’s something in it for them. [/quote]

And there isn't. The plan is for MAGA to become just as impoverished as they plan for the rest of us, they just don't realize it yet.

If we don't have access to health care or well paying jobs, they can pay all of us, middle class and below, poverty wages and rake in even more cash. [/quote]

Hello?

Health Care IS impoverishing us.

Stop whining about gas prices.  HC and its inflation over the past decade is orders of magnitude more expensive.[/quote]

DP. And MAGA tried to abolish the ACA! AOC was also blasting RFK about this this week in the viral photos. We have a fraud suit against UHC and just raised Medicare payment payouts for them. AOC has been saying this in hearing after hearing for a year. But, the lobbyist are deep in mainly vote GOP. [/quote]

MAGA and the GOP have been standing in the way of universal healthcare which has numerous examples around the world to show us how it can be effective and cost-efficient.  All we need to do is pick one of those models that worked and replicate it here.  But we can't because the oligarchs making money off of healthcare won't let their GOP servants let that happen.

These systems require a much flatter (less progressive) tax system. Are you willing to give on that point?[/quote]

They do not actually REQUIRE a less progressive tax system. You’re just saying that they do.[/quote]
