Here's my view- and the view of many others, including Senator Sanders

First, what you need to do to make inroads:

You have to raise taxes on the wealthiest, and not just income taxes.

You have to raise the cap on Social Security.

Invest in communities and schools in a significant way

Invest massively in our crumbling infrastructure, creating jobs

Provide quality affordable childcare

Ensure affordable housing through expanding section 8, rent control, mixed income housing,etc

Raise the minimum wage to a living wage

Repair and strengthen the social safety net

Ensure affordable healthcare

Make post high school education affordable

Invest in programs for at risk youth

Cut our obscenely bloated defense budget
