58. Perfect, with the best being the hopeful 15 seconds at the end

We can, and must, do what we can to make that next phase -- the healing -- a reality.

Turn the tide on the obscene concentration of wealth, build a truly robust economy -- one that isn't reliant on the top 10% accounting for 50% of the spending (which they can cut back by 30, 40, 50% or more if they feel at all vulnerable -- something the rest of us cannot do because our spending is overwhelmingly on essentials). Utterly reform performance indicators. Do away with market indexes that are absurdly inflated by America's all in bet on AI -- with 10 companies making circular, incestuous deals... and on and on.

Progressive tax on wealth, progressive, higher tax on capital gains than earned income, with the revenue collected financing Piketty's "Inheritance for All."

Bring the American Dream within reach for ALL of us.
