And the path of gold has no loyalty or honour.

@Koninos During the 50's, in a family of 4 - just the father could work - and make enough money to support all 4 in a middle-class suburban life with 2 cars, and still have enough money to buy luxuries and go to vacation.

Because of a combination of decisions and reforms to the economy

To say it is impossible to create such conditions is untrue

But the economy, back then, wasn't dependant on the wealthy. Now it is, so it's indeed utopian and unrealistic to implement a 90% tax on the wealthy.

Also strategically lame.

As i saidd gradual integration is possible

If we focus on improving the middle class

It is possible

No. You'll just get to the point, gradually or not, that the wealthy will leave due to heavy taxation.

So?

And no they wont

50's disprove that

So you lose a hell lot of revenue.

Fuck the 50's, in the 50's the wealthy had loyalty, were patriots and they were not predatory multinational companies.

Which guide America's economy today.

And politics, as well.

But you make the assumption that is utterly *impossible* to fix these issues.

Difficult yes, but impossible? No

Today, impossible.

What do you mean today?

2020's

Obviously

Do you mean from today to infinity, that is impossible

Or that ddoing it in an instant is impossible

2020's

2020-2029

And after?

And beyond, until we reach a breaking point which restarts the economy. But it will happen naturally, with the collapse of capitalism. And if you try to break capitalism intentionally in the 2020's, you will find yourself breaking the American economy as well.

Not if you make the middle-class powerful again

Making it powerful isn't enough. You need to make it WAY more powerful than the upper class.

Which is possible

How is it possible, then?

Not even "possible", that implies chance. It is 100% doable.

How is it 100% doable, then?

There are a plethora of things which we need to fixed. But for a start

Reduce or Ban corporate influence in politics
Ban funding for elections - all funding is public (like nations in the EU, each party gets a certain amount of money from the government to campaign)

Banning corporate influence in politics will lead into some, if not most, corporations leaving the country. Not to mention that today, the corporations rule the politics of China, the USA, and many other nations.

Do continue.

There is no evidence that banning corporate influence in politics will lead to most corporations leaving the country

Increase the Federal Minimum Wage to match inflation and buying power. Force price restrictions to ensure companies do not raise prices in response. Any company that attempts to raise prices is threatened with nationalization.
