franklin delano roosevelt did a pretty good job i think, with the new deal. JFK did a pretty good job with the civil rights act. Obama did some work on expanding those civil rights to include sexual orientation. Is it such a big ask that all indentured servitude is abolished, even for incarcerated people? Is it such a big ask that the tax rates go back to what they were before Reagan screwed it all up? The top tax bracket was something like 70% for the wealthiest people, iirc. And even if they get taxed that much, they’d still have a MASSIVE amount of money. Is it such a big ask that we don’t have to file for bankruptcy when we’re hit with huge medical bills because the medical system in the US is run by corporations? Is it too much to ask that the taxes we pay actually go toward something that helps us instead of killing civilians overseas?
I forgot to add to my wishlist, voting reform to abolish the first past the post system currently in place and opt for a more fair system such as instant runoff or ranked choice.
That’s quite the wishlist.
Which politicians have you been satisfied with in the past?
