    No, we’ve already answered this but barely literate dense dipshits like to pretend otherwise.

    Tax the shit out of very wealthy individuals and companies and use that incredible wealth to provide basic safety nets and programs for everyone. The most quality of life improvements generation over generation and massive public infrastructure projects we did here in the US was when we taxed wealth aggressively and used that money to invest in people.

    The major reason for why everything is getting shittier in the US is because we’re catering to billionaire parasites and their companies and not to the other 99.9% of people. You may disagree but that is what it is.

      One issue with that: the rich tend to avoid being citizens of countries with progressive taxing in tact.

      Also, surprise-surprise, the solution presented is far from being universal. Not every country’s name starts with “United” and ends with “States of America”.
