Day 25

The millions of Americans who live on the financial margins are the underbelly of capitalism.  This weakness must be addressed before it is much too late.  The low commitment bar of socialism is increasingly attracting the younger generations with false promises and free stuff for all.  In a few years, America will no longer be the economic engine that built our country.  

This is a certainty unless the capitalistic power brokers become proactive in their politics.  It is no longer acceptable to depress the wages of the middle class by exporting jobs and facilitating the influx of cheap labor from South America.  President Trump is working for the change required to keep capitalism relevant but you are not supporting his efforts and doggedly fight Trump capitalism.  By your stubborn selfishness you will empower the socialists in spite of getting your cut in the corporate tax rate and the go away regulations.

The socialist agenda cannot be out rightly defended but the Democrats will ride the Health care train to bring us socialism in 2020, unless the Republicans have an answer to our national health care dilemma.  Healthcare is not working and the status quo will loose on this issue.  I have made this suggestion before but I seriously underestimated the revenue stream.  Democrats and Republicans can both compromise on this issue and fix our healthcare.  

Washington could unite and tax buy trades on the NY Stock Exchange, one dollar per share purchased.  Math is not my thing but it looks to me that this may bring in 40 trillion dollars a year to fund all or part of a new healthcare system.  That seems insane and such a solution seems unrealistic so please check my numbers.  ggoslaw@gmail.com
