End student debt. Pay employees a living wage. Reverse the Reagan AND KENNEDY tax cuts. Enforce and utilize the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and deny ANY corporate merger greater than $1 Billion dollars. Chad Lupkes FACEBOOK
What do these things have to do with Medicare for All?
End Medical School student debt, which is a big reason why doctors and nurses feel the need to limit what insurance they can afford to accept. If they can’t pay their student debt loans, they will have to make those hard choices.
More employees making a living wage means our tax revenue goes up as well as creating a society where people can afford to pay their bills and save for the short term and long term. That includes being able to afford to pay for medical insurance (hopefully through FICA taxes) without it impacting whether they can afford to pay their mortgage.
Government revenue is insufficient, and the highest income brackets are not paying their share. Remove the cap on Social Security. Restore the top marginal tax rates to what they were in the 1950’s. They can afford it. The middle class cannot.
Corporate mergers are creating giants that suck up all of the market share in every single industry, and boosts the ability for a small number of people to influence massive pieces of legislation, especially tax policy at the local, state and national level. Corruption follows the money, so stop concentrating the money and marketplace into the hands of the few.
There is no silver bullet. Only golden bullet points that distract from the real issues and the real solutions. Because the only real solution is for everyone in our country to get engaged, inspired, educated and empowered.
