We need wealth redistribution, single payer healthcare, means testing social security, wealth taxes including massive inheritance taxes, reparations to First Nations, reparations for descendants of slaves imported from Africa, reparations for refugees from imperial wars and finally a guarenteed income for all.
Since Reagan the rich (white upperclass) have been accumulating a disproportionate share of wealth. Our country will not survive without a 'soft' peaceful revolution to redistribute that wealth. The only other option is too horrible to contemplate but will happen unless we act soon on the former.
