everything.In the 1980s we sold our souls to Supply Side Economics
All tax cuts pay for themselves, put money in the hands of our job creators and watch the economy boom, a rising tide lifts all boats
What do we have to show for it?
Prior to the 1980s, our tax structure won WWII, built the interstate highway system, put a man on the moon
What has our nation accomplished since we sold out to supply side?
All of those are not about a lack of $$ but a lack of will.
Hell, with current regulations applauded by progressives you probably wouldn't be able to build something like the interstate highway system today.
Forget about a brand new interstate highway system
We can't even fix what we have. Bridges are crumbling, mass transit is ancient, water systems and power grid is a disgrace
But at least our wealthy are sitting on a bigger pot of money
And at least our government has wasted $Ts on pension obligations for worthless government employees instead of building and maintaining our infrastructure.
What does the federal government have to do with infrastructure?

"The elite ranks of our billionaire class continue to pull apart from the rest of us," a new Institute for Policy study analysis finds
by Jake Johnson, staff writer
In the United States, the 400 richest individuals now own more wealth than the bottom 64 percent of the population and the three richest own more wealth than the bottom 50 percent, while pervasive poverty means one in five households have zero or negative net worth.

"The wealthiest 25 individuals in the United States today own $1 trillion in combined assets," the report notes. "These 25, a group equivalent to the active roster of a major league baseball team, hold more wealth than the bottom 56 percent of the U.S. population combined, 178 million people."'

In order to get a broader sense of the size of the chasm between rich and poor in the U.S., Collins and Hoxie place the net worth of the top one percent and the bottom one percent side by side.
"The wealthiest 25 individuals in the United States today hold more wealth than the bottom 56 percent of the U.S. population combined, 178 million people." "All combined, households in the bottom one percent have a combined negative net worth of $196 billion," the report finds. "For comparison, the top one percent, a category holding the exact same number of people, have positive $33.4 trillion in combined net worth."

It is time to close the loopholes, increase their income tax and even the fucking playing field. That my friends is the right thing to do.
How are you going to even the playing field by punishing the high income earners? They will reduce their spending and incentive to earn more which means less money for you to redistribute. This, coupled with ignorance and refusal to reduce government spending is simply going to push US towards the failed socialist models of other countries.
Distributed prosperity cannot be achieved in economic policies rooted in class warfare.
They often can protect their enormous wealth from taxation...here is a good series of columns exposing how they do it.
Paradise Papers....
Paradise Papers Shine Light on Where the Elite Keep Their Money
Everything you just described about the 1 percent is prevalent in countries that employ the model you want US to move towards. The difference is that her, US, there is opportunity to move up. The model you want locks in a truly 1 percent. The 1 percent here is not locked in compared to the rest of the world.

It is probably not a good idea to make a hero out of a woman who spent her final years with Alzheimer's. Now that I think about it, so did Reagan, so, at least there is some consistency on the Right.

Well, in view of the fact that Reagan was obviously suffering from it in the final years of his presidency, and was making decisions affecting millions of Americans, I thought that it was worthy of comment. Thatcher, may, or may not have been doing the same, but it just seems to me that if you want to make a political hero out of someone, it would probably be better if you can determine if they were, or were not, in their right mind. I have a couple of relatives who had Alzheimers, and I don't think that I would be using them as fine examples of a political agenda when they were, in fact, wandering away from home, and not knowing where they were, or even not sure of just what their names were.

Agreed.Good for them. Why should i care? If they provide goods and services to more people, why shouldn't they make more money?
