(5,275 posts)We have a spending problem in some areas, mostly defense, but we have much more of a revenue problem. Under republicans and democrats, from FDR till the B actor high marginal rates were roughly 60 -91 %. Ronnie slashed it in half.

We need everyday people to wake up, the Oligarchs are robbing you blind yet get enough of you to vote for them by clever manipulation. Of course the Big D Democratic Party that has grown out of the DLC isn't a while lot better other than on social issues, which can be their cover.
We need Bernie Sanders to maybe be our FDR and talk some sense into the confused non wealthy.
