Ok... there are parts of that deal that make sense... and some that are fucking moronic. Don't burn the whole thing just because parts of it are Elysium on crack... the intent is the inverse of that! The progressive tax bracket? cool... but 70% is a bit much and instead of a flat bracket it should be a GDP ratio. If it's always a % it can't get abused the way the estate tax was.
Should we get off fossil fuels? Duh.
Should we allow energy companies time to adapt? We'll we have and we are... but they are snailing it and might need a push.
Do we need to control cow farts? No, but perhaps we could feed them in such a way they don't fart as much (it's a fucking stupid problem, but it actually is one).
The train and airplane things won't work unless Elon comes through in the clutch. It's literally a pipe-dream.
Baseline healthcare and education should have been socialized a long time ago. Anyone who thinks this would force you into anything.... no... this is the baseline.
Pay for whatever perks you want. You could make every public university in the country free right now and not fuck with Duke, Harvard, Princeton's admission rates or tuition; heck you'd probably raise it. Same for healthcare... which we're all paying for anyway, one way or another.
Baby boomers are still in charge.
They're all 1000+ years old.
Congress is full of skeletons.
Radical socialists with no understanding of how government and economics work, NO.
