Saving Capitalism by Robert Reich
The way we take back our economy and democracy is through a movement that unites most of the bottom 99 percent to (1) resurrect Glass-Steagall and bust up the biggest Wall Street banks so they're never again too big to fail, (2) end corporate welfare, (3) raise taxes on the rich to pay for better schools and rebuild the nation's infrastructure, (4) strengthen unions, (5) lower taxes on corporations that share profits with their workers and raise them on corporations that don't, (6) exempt the first $15,000 of earnings from the Social Security payroll tax and make it up by taxing higher earnings, (7) make Medicare an option on all healthcare exchanges, so we move to Medicare for all, and (8) get big money out of politics.
Creating such a movement will require reaching out not only to progressives but also to many who call themselves conservatives.
One step: Please help me identify places I should visit when my book "Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few" comes out in the early fall. (See video, below.)
