So how do we fix that?

I get Covid was a mess in real time and it was used as a political pawn, which really sucks. Trillions of dollars went into the US economy, and most of the country feels broke.

I don’t care how the market did, fuck the market, it’s a bubble that’s been waiting to pop for years.






One thing we can do is raise taxes on the rich and large businesses and corporations. This action is supported by a majority of Americans: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/03/19/most-amer...

Wealth tax. Progressive wealth tax that caps at a 100% tax on wealth over $10M. Exact number negotiable, but that's where I'm starting the bidding. No individual has a legitimate use for more than $10M in assets.
