What is the Democratic Party solution to economic inequality?

[LWolf]

52. That's 2 different questions.

What IS: Seems to be the Reagan Democrat neo-liberal bottom line: protect the well-to-do and corporate interest at the expense of the rest of us and continue to widen those economic gaps.

What SHOULD be: Put our attention and resources into domestic programs. Start with banning "free" trade in favor of fair trade based on environmental and labor standards. Add a national health CARE program that provides ALL health care free at point of service to ALL, paid for by taxes. Add truly universal, FREE, PUBLIC, not-controlled by special corporate interest education pre-school through trade school or university.

Those 3 things right there would narrow the gaps considerably. Now add guaranteed safe, healthy public housing, utilities, and food for any who need them, a minimum income for all, a living wage for all, union representation for all workers, and expansion of Social Security.

THAT'S what the Democratic Party solution SHOULD be, because THAT'S what will eradicate poverty.
