How do we change course from policies that have put us in a precarious position economically? The basic mindset of long term economic stability needs to have a goal of growth for all sectors. Not just a gravitation of wealth to the top. You cannot have such disparity and expect economic health to improve.
We have had ten years of tax inequality all based on the premise of wealth from the rich trickling down to the rest of us. If tax cuts for upper income people create jobs, where are they? Republicans wish to implement even greater tax disparity with deeper tax cuts for the rich paid for by the dismantling of any safety net. Medicare is to be turned over to insurance companies. Social Security to be run by Wall Street. Regulations especially from the E.P.A. to be abolished. Their mantra of you're not going to tell us what to do leads to the only policy being the law of the jungle.
Just as Republicans in congress have vowed never to raise taxes, all Democratic lawmakers should sign a pledge to put the country and Americans first not profit for a few.
Revisit N.A.F.T.A. Stop sending jobs and technology overseas just to increase profit share. Make the rich pay higher taxes. Change course!
