That would be good but that's not going to solve this. There is rot at the core of American culture and Trump is the inevitable culmination of it. There's no single rule that can be changed to fix this.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Each rule we change fixes some of the rot. It's like a journey. Think of it like walking from California to New York. It's not something that happens in one day. People may tell you that you cannot do it, but you can. Those who put in the work will be rewarded. Passing an inheritance tax would be like successfully walking from California to Colorado. Not there yet but you made progress.
Except with politics it's easier, instead of needing to do the whole walk ourselves we can each contribute a small amount of walking based on what's within our means and that walking we contribute collectively adds up to the journey and together we can achieve the journey much easier.

Well said. It’s all about bending the curve in the right direction, enough little changes make up to a complete change in direction. I feel like that’s one of our big problems, people want the easy button now, instead of understanding that it takes diligence and work to get shit done.

No no, it's Russia. They posted a frog pic on Twitter, which forced the population to vote for Trump. We can not allow such foreign interference. Anyone seen my AIPAC check?

That would be nice except as it stands Americans are getting pushed out into the pacific to drown. The balance of power between working people and wealthy elites has to shift before any meaningful progress is possible.

it's really not a shit-ton (given the scope of the conversation). depending on your cola, 50k can be life changing enough that you get to pursue your dreams.
