In reply to the discussion: Trump: Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz doesn't have the 'guts' to run for president [View all]Honeycombe8

Schulz believes in social programs to some extent, and in govt. Starbucks pays for college for employees, good health care, good wages, when there was no pressing need for his business to do that. So he believes in assisting with education and good wages.
He believes in increasing the tax rate for the wealthy. (He would have done the cut for them, but to a lesser degree.)
If he's against Social Security and Medicare (for seniors), that's a nonstarter. There aren't many who would vote for someone who wants to kill Social Security and Medicare. Well, I guess Republicans and Libertarians. But no left-leaning independent, and no Democrat.
I agree with him on the deficit, though. It is at an historical high. Something's gotta give. It's scary high. We were making headway on that until the big tax cut.
