hegemony, a MIC geared to foster and protect empire and global hegemony, corporate welfare, welfare for the most affluent via a wholly inequitable federal income tax code, a cruel and ruinous drug policy, including extraordinarily harsh and cruel punishment of minor drug offenders, a hideously inadequate minimum wage, the highly favorable treatment of unearned income, egregious income inequality, and slave-wages compensation, for starters. Our Federal government, if we are to be the greatest nation, must begin to promote the general, rather than corporate and special-interests, welfare, starting with implementing universal health care, mandatory paid sick leave, addressing all public health issues, making infrastructure repairs and improvements, implementing sensible gun control laws, and further improving the standard of living for the masses which will lead to greater longevity, better overall health, and lower infant and maternal mortality. The ideology espoused by domestic right-wing extremists has long dominated the national agenda through government providing for the welfare of large corporations and the most affluent rather than for the general welfare.
