  5. For a start – increase the taxes on the filthy rich who control 40 percent of the nation's wealth (they are just sitting on it anyway) and stimulate the economy by rebuilding the nation's infrastructure, as well as, financing renewable energy sources to get us off our dependence on fossil fuels . . . that would put the middle class back to work and our nation's fiscal health on the road to recovery.

  7. Yes Dee, you are absolutely right! I hope it comes to pass. It always baffles me why a vast amount of the middle class have not as of yet understood this.
