Shared sacrifice: for the RICH

[True Blue Democrat]

If they want to keep their tax cuts, they will have to accept the following conditions:

- 90% estate tax for estates valued at 10 million.
- If they want to reimport their value into the United States, they have to pay a one-time reimportation tax of 65% of the money that is coming in.
- Ending all oil and gas subsidies to those who has showed excessive profits, and tax the hell out of the oil companies, WARNING them that passing the cost to the taxpayers will result in seizure and nationalization of said assets in the name of the people of the United States.
- All high volume trades exceeding 10k shares of stocks will be taxed at 25% PER TRANSACTION, ensuring that the United States Treasury coffers remains healthy.
- All too-big-to-fail banks will be forced to fail, encouraging new jobs creating new smaller and healthier banks.
- All DRE voting machines are destroyed, returning to paper ballot.
- Weathy people cannot own 85% of the US wealth, it has to be redistributed to help the middle class.
- Eliminating insurance companies from the picture by creating a national, single payer universal plan. All you have to do is be a proper taxpaying American (i.e., your taxes are paid up, and in good standing with the United States of America)
- Republican tax lawyers rounded up and moved to Bikini Atoll for the safety of the people of the United States (in other words, no legal tax dodges)
- Fully fund HeadStart, approve ALL union creations, card checks, and set a mandatory minimum wage to be a living wage - a minimum of $35/hour.
- All Republican chickenhawks will be mandated to serve their country at ANY age for a minimum of 18 months in a hot zone. That means if Strom Thurmond was still alive and supporting the war, he would have to go over there and do his part before making laws.


That is the shared sacrifice (and I'm sure many people would like to add more here) that the rich needs to make on their end.

As a result, the Republicans will need to be forcibly removed and placed into mental institutions (fully funded, thanks to the national single payer plan!)

And permanently doped up while the real adults clean up the Republicans shit and show America what the real progressives (not those jokers from PPI either) can rebuild America and rebuild its social safety net without any long lasting damage.

Now that's a REAL shared sacrifice.
