Great plan.
My plan is to deal with reality.
And, yes, that is a much better idea than living in fantasy land and making up lies that defy reality.
Our country is thriving under our current system. All I say is that when you have a system that is working and making the country wealthy you should take care of the poor and disadvantaged. Our system REQUIRES that there be losers. That is not the fault of the losers. That is just the by-product of capitalism. So the question is "Should we allow a small percentage to amass more and more wealth while forcing the poor to suffer, or should we take care of the poor and disadvantaged?"
I believe that as long as the country is thriving we should take care of the poor and disadvantaged.
