About the "Better Deal"... [View all]

When the bar is so low that just about anything would be better than what we have now, calling your platform the "Better Deal" is not such a great idea.

The DNC needs to get some really good messaging people on board and focus on what Americans are worried about:

Healthcare for ALL. Not affordable. Not Health Insurance, HEALTH CARE FOR ALL. This can be achieved with different solutions, but the best solutions include Medicare for All or a Public Option and reducing the costs of prescription medicines.

Universal Livable Wage. Not a minimum wage, but a LIVABLE WAGE.

Education for ALL. A focus on improving public education from K through College available to EVERYONE. Make Community Colleges free. Make state school tuition free.

Apollo Program Level Investment into RENEWABLES. Get us off FOSSIL FUELS and make a plan to get America on 100% renewables. The technology is available, it is really a matter of $. And if we allow our planet to become even marginally less habitable, we will have a human crisis on our hands. Defense level spending for our Energy Infrastructure is needed and this is indeed a National Security issue.

Tax Reform - How do you pay for all of the above without breaking the bank? Remove the caps on FICA and Return to a 50% level tax for the highest incomes. We need to wage war on WEALTHFARE in this country.

We don't need a Better Deal... we need a REAL DEAL.
