Tax at 100% all wealth over about 10 or 15 million dollars. There should be no billionaires or mere hundredmillionaires. This should be done globally in every country on earth. As for here in the usa, retroactively repeal the Reagan, Clinton, Bush and Trump tax cuts for the rich and corporations. Restore Glass-Steagall. Restore the tax rates on the rich from the 1950’s. Restore the inheritance tax which only hits the rich. Restore the tax on stock transactions. Remove restrictions from the unions and repeal the Taft-Hartley act. Repeal “citizens united”. Enact and install universal healthcare. Place the corporations, the banks and wall street on short leashes. Restore the FCC fairness doctrine.
Speaking of out-of-control medical expenses, I was informed that "Go Fund Me' is now owned by a private equity company!!!! who plan on getting their share of profits from those who are forced to beg friends & strangers for money to help cover medical expenses NOT covered by their "health" insurance!
Perfect example....My Mother at 90 years old, was a resident of a very good dementia care facility near Chicago. This place was wonderful....They even had an apartment within the facility, where I could stay when visiting from CA. Then her place was acquired by a P.E. Firm, and everything began to change at her facility. Many of their best and most patient-oriented staff were let go, services diminished or disappeared altogether. Then Covid came and took Mom from us....The 200K deposit that was to be refunded to the family never came. 18 families got together and sued to get what was rightfully ours, and we won a judgment against the P.E. firm for refunding of the 200k deposit with payments every 6 months over 10 years....Of course, then the Firm went BK, and 4 years later we have not received a penny. Their dirty money paid for their high-priced army of attorneys, who tied everything in knots and to this day the whole affair still stings a little....My Father's financial legacy stolen by white-collar criminals. Now retired/disabled at 65. Those funds that magically disappeared would be life changing for me as I just barely get by.....
