A rising sea lifts all boats. That is my proposal.
Your proposal is to lower everyone to the same crappy level, except for Party Members.
Both systems have inequality of status, but mine has high status and economic mobility for anyone who wants it. Yours has low status and economic immobility except for party Members. Your inequality is based on power, whereas mine is based on equality of opportunity and merit. Mine, the American way, helps the bottom 50% by raising them up. The more you promise to give people by taking from others, the more you destroy the benefits of capitalism and replace it with a shit sandwich for everyone...which is equality of status, your goal. But no one wants that.
