REPEAL AND REPLACE - THE DAY AFTER THE BLUE TSUNAMI

[Sparko55]

Following the coming wave election in November 2018, the Democrats should put forward an aggressive program to restore the American middle class - much like the vaunted Contract On America back in 1994 that the CON's foisted on the unsuspecting public, only this time play for keeps and real action to benefit the majority of Americans.

ITEM 1 - REPEAL AND REPLACE the TAX CUTS AND JOB ACT OF 2017 - with "fair and balanced" tax cuts for the 0-80% of the population and, oops - tax increases for the upper 5%.

ITEM 2 - SECURE SOCIAL SECURITY (no cap on taxable earnings - and all the corporate exec "deferred" comp is taxed at time of grant)

ITEM 3 - SECURE MEDICARE

ITEM 4 - SINGLE PAYER HEALTH SYSTEM


Let's give Paul Ryan a great parting gift to "his legacy". REPEAL AND REPLACE - only this time for real.

1. Do you think we will get 2/3

of the House and Senate?

[TheDebbieDee]

4. I don't think it's mathematically possible for Dems to come away with 2/3

of the Senate - supposedly there are not enough republican Senate seats up and several of the Dems seats are in red states...

[dumbcat]

6. So we wouldn't be able to override a Trump veto

Still, we can always wish and hope ......

8. then again - 11 GOPPERS will be hard pressed in 2020 if they don't cooperate with the majority

but the 2020 crowd will need to show they are not just the typical republithug, but actually bipartisan (ha, ha)

And they will be knowing what the first wave didn't wash out in 2018, the second one in 2020 - a presidential year - will. I think the Dems should dare the punks. (or at least have Clint talk to a chair again.)

3. Excellent agenda.

Of course, we also need to repeal and replace Trump, Pence, McTurtle, Russiabacker, etc.

I often use the same name for Newt Gangrene's "Contract On America."
