We still need people to perform basic functions, and capitalism is a way to do that. “Renting humans” as it were. I think we can certainly raise the minimum a fair bit. Higher minimum wage works being everyone up. I think we could and should get the working week down from 40 hours to 35. That takes covering a full seven day week from 4.2 shifts to 4.8 (or five with a bit of overlap).
Agree on the estate tax. It used to be a thing. Republicans had ground it down over the years, and just recently finished it off.
Universal healthcare does a ton for freedom and entrepreneurship.
When you spread the money thin, it does run out quickly. But I think we can still afford those things if we just actually tax billionaires and corporations. And stop taxing payroll more than capital investment. Usury is a sin. Anything that makes money from having money needs a big leash.
And of course money nearly all the way out of politics.
I’m not looking for a radical change from what we had before.
