Fairly taxing the total wealth (not just income) of the excessively greedy for their big piggy bites of the apple that leave the rest of us with nothing but a dried-up core, while at the same time getting their filthy money out of OUR election process -- NOT their's! -- would certainly realign priorities in OUR economy -- NOT their's!

Let's reverse the dynamic and raise taxes on the topmost brackets, controlling most of the nation's wealth, to finance lowering taxes on the increasingly impoverished middle class, now paying with blood money for the largesse lavished on the Republican donor class, who have mercilessly attacked our wounded, nearly vanquished democracy. That, thanks largely to Mitch McConnell's highly partisan, no doubt unconstitutional, blockade of all legislation that would claw back power to the people.

And on a parallel track, let's also stop enabling a wicked, for-profit "offense" industry waging endless, greedy wars of choice, which are drowning taxpayers in debt and diverting desperately needed investment in crumbling infrastructure and other critical domestic spending, deliberately neglected by Republicans for decades.

Enough with wanton warfare for the dwindling resources of Mother Earth!
