They want to get the money out of politics and use tax pools to promote economic growth. Higher taxes doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be making less money.

In order to keep the Justice Democrat status, you have to actively fight against money in politics and not take any corporate or PAC money.

Let me ask you this. What data is there for countries with successful free market health care? There is none! Second to U.S. is third world countries. What data is there for free market healthcare? EVERY modern industrialized country except us.

Somehow, we have a population thoroughly convinced that tax hike=less money. Although a spending cut is more desirable, it doesn’t make the former an invalid means of generating economic growth. If you payed a 2% swell in taxes to ease in a universal healthcare system while eliminating Obamacare, Medicare and for-profit insurers, yes you’ll be net saving more money in the long run because you cut out the need for a private insurer to make back the money on service resources and make an unregulated desirable profit. Right now you’re paying for 8 different interventions, a trillion dollar fighter jet program (because ISIS was really getting the upper hand on our old ones), we have military bases in 70 different countries, all the while here at home we’re systematically being extracted by both democrats and republicans who have been bought by wealthy elites. “But ted Cruz said if you tax 100% income of all millionaires, we still couldn’t sustain universal healthcare.” Nonsense. Republicans and democrats will do framing all day so they can distract you from the fact they’re bought out. The reality of the situation is that- and this is a Harvard study- our healthcare system will damage our economy in the long run whereas a universal healthcare system will help it. Free market healthcare is unsustainable, not the other way around.
