5. The tax that weakens fascism and restores vibrancy to the non-wealthy:

Just as in post-WWII, a 90+ tax rate on wealthy incomes. We are in emergency times right now, for the entire economy and society. We need to move that wealth to the middle class, the working class, and desperately poor. We need that money for infrastructure projects on a massive scale, and on public education. Funding for free college education must come from the money bestowed on the wealthy through decades of tax giveaways. So far, the Dems have danced around the edges of wealth redistribution, but they must face the dilemma head-on if they are to strengthen the conditions of those below millionaire status.
