What I am talking about is not making everyone equal, but it is addressing the disparity in classes that exists in this country. The system doesn't need to be level, there needs to be a middle class. When economic inequality continues to grow, that gap widens and there is no middle class. Our economic inequality is on par with third-world countries, not industrialized nations, and it is continuously widening. This isn't sustainable for our country.
And no, it does not have to be massive or authoritarian. That is nothing more than fear mongering. There are many different models out there for this sort of thing. Our government was not as massive 100 years ago and our economic inequality was nothing like it is today.
Okay, well then instead of making vague references without specifics and then critiquing my posts when I'm left to guess what you're referring to, why don't you lay out some detailed specifics of what you'd like to see and we can go from there?
It's very difficult to make an argument against something when I'm arguing against nothing more than vague talking points.
