capitalist utopia.

THIS is why I say we need to repeal the giant 2017 tax cut for billionaire parasites and corporations, and instead replace it with a confiscatory tax system that makes the billionaires into millionaires and puts enough money into the treasury to fund programs that materially help the American people.

Like health care.

Like expanded Social Security.

Like debt-free college.

Like massive infrastructure modernization.
