I would love to see unrealized gains used as collateral taxed.

I've always thought it was the fairest way to stop them from using/enjoying/benefiting from their wealth without paying taxes, without having to just outright tax unrealized gains which is pretty unfair to me.

You could optionally start it at a certain wealth level so as to not burden the working class with the extra complicated taxes it would cause, and the wealthy at that point would be able to afford the extra work on the taxes.

I sadly don't think it will ever happen in our life times =(

You think you're getting another election?

It's cute you think there will be another election. I mean, there will be elections ... but they won't mean anything. The idiotic half of the US is realizing too late that the "conservative" party is the party of evil.

Raising minimum wage won't do shit, just cause more inflation. Deal with the real problem, cap the highest paid employee at 10x the lowest paid employee. CEO wants a million dollar salary, has to pay the grunts 100k first.

LOL... this is just another moving of the goal post so Americans can continue sitting on their asses for another 3 years while the consequences of their decisions keep burning the world

So is there a plan? Or just this little feel good poster?

I'd also make the president much less powerful, positionwise. And... 35x the pay of employees??? Really?

I'd put it at 2x!

Is this the new dem campaign promises or just a wish list?

Ranked choice is an improvement, but ending FPTP is better. There are other proportional representation systems that are likely to outperform ranked choice, let's not lock in on that specific alternative.
