You put “no” at the front of that comment, but then agreed with me. Then you listed two other very popular ideas that haven’t been implemented because conservative politicians won’t agree to do it.
But even among conservative voters, higher paying jobs and tuition free college are also popular ideas. Up until the 80’s, conservatives were all pro-union. Better pay and safer work conditions were a conservative point of pride. That was what made the American dream possible.
And community colleges were incredibly popular with the “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” crowd. Any hard-working American could improve their lot in life, simply by taking night classes after work. You want an opportunity, you make one for yourself.
But since then, they’ve all been convinced that things like that are “Socialist”, and bad for society. Why? Because the politicians want more money for defense contractors, pharmaceutical executives, and health care insurance providers. Now, your tax money is being spent subsidizing the richest people in the country, who make all their money exploiting the working class.
If Democrats want to win back those voters, they need to start fixing that shit. Because that’s what they were told Trump was going to fix. He was going to make everything less expensive and make everyone more money. Sure…they were lied to. But that’s what they were promised. That’s what they were voting for.
Too much socialism is bad because it will certainly involve increasing taxes to pay for social programs. High taxes discourage people from working hard. Why would you work hard knowing much of your earnings would be taken away? Free education beyond high school would mean higher taxes not only to pay for the school but to spot scams. Scam trade schools would pop up which don’t teach well and pass students who don’t perform well.
