State of the Union

1. I feel that the Democratic Party needs to align with people, not corporations.

It’s too easy for some people to say that both parties are the same. Democrats need to champion the working and middle classes, get rid of corporate money (fight for publicly funded elections), raise tax rates for wealthy people and corporations, put people to work rebuilding our infrastructure.

I was so disappointed that Obama didn’t rescind the tax cuts for the rich when he got into office, it was something he had promised he would do in his presidential campaign and he had a lot of support to do it. The Democrats could frame the tax rates by stating they would resume the same rates that Reagan had passed.
