Now it;s 32% and look.

To raise it even to 75% is a joke and a travesty which would only prolong the misery in this country caused by the astronomical weakth inequity – which is more than ten times that of other civilized countries. Add to that the 50% more that we pay for health insurance, which, with a Single Payer System (Medicare for all, HR676) paid for by raising the TMR to Eisenhower's 91%, would solve ALL our problems.

Of course to get that done politically would mean solving our other problems, like corporate domination and absolute negation of Democracy. I really did think this President, with a numerically empowered Congress, was willing to do what has to be done. He could still do it. There are at LEAST three ways to get bills passed in the Senate with 50 votes. That he WON'T do it, is the culmination of the total destruction and demise of America.

But then it was inevitable that, exactly as the U.S.S.R. failed by trying to isolate and implement only ONE of the two elements necessary for a successful society and economy, Totalitarian Socialism; the US has failed irrevocably by trying ONLY the other of the two necessary elements – "Free Market" Capitalism, a corporate plutarchy. Nothing can regain either Democracy or domestic employment from the runaway capitalism and greed that has dominated all legislation. We failed to admit that there are some Industries (Health Care, Utilities/energy, Banking, Insurance, and in general, TBTF size,) that MUST NOT BE ALLOWED FOR PRIVATE PROFIT.
