back up what your claims...

-----------------------
AI Overview

Democratic policies for working-class Americans often center on strengthening unions, raising the minimum wage, expanding access to affordable healthcare, and investing in job creation and training programs. These policies aim to improve wages, benefits, and working conditions for all workers, while also addressing economic inequality.

Here's a more detailed look at key Democratic proposals:

1. Strengthening Workers' Rights and Unions:
PRO Act (Protecting the Right to Organize Act):

.
This bill seeks to empower workers to form unions by strengthening protections against employer interference, making it easier for new unions to negotiate first contracts, and curtailing the use of "right to work" laws that weaken unions.
Increased enforcement of labor laws:
.
Democrats support stronger enforcement of existing labor laws and increased penalties for employers who violate those laws, including those related to workplace safety and fair pay.
Raising the minimum wage:
.
Many Democrats advocate for a higher federal minimum wage, often at $15 per hour or higher, to ensure a living wage for all workers.

2. Investing in Education and Training:
Job training programs:
.
Democrats support investments in job training programs to equip workers with the skills needed for in-demand jobs, including those in emerging industries like clean energy.
Affordable higher education:
.
Many Democrats support policies to make college more affordable, such as free community college and expanded Pell Grants.

3. Healthcare and Social Safety Net:
Affordable Care Act (ACA) expansion:
.
Democrats generally support strengthening the ACA, including lowering healthcare costs and expanding access to coverage through subsidies and expanding Medicaid.
Social Security and Medicare:
.
Democrats advocate for protecting and strengthening Social Security and Medicare, including exploring options to improve benefits for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Child care and family leave:
.
Democrats support policies that provide affordable child care and paid family leave, recognizing the impact of these costs on working families.

4. Economic Development and Job Creation:
Infrastructure investment:

.
Democrats support large-scale investments in infrastructure projects, such as roads, bridges, and public transportation, which can create jobs and improve the economy.

Tax policies that benefit working families:
.
Democrats support tax policies that provide relief to working families, such as tax credits for child care, earned income tax credits, and lower taxes on middle- and lower-income individuals.

Fair trade policies:
.
Democrats advocate for trade policies that protect American workers and industries, including addressing unfair trade practices by other countries.

Here's an AI summary for you:
In the United States, the number of billionaires has significantly increased in recent years, with 268 new billionaires created in 2024 alone. This surge in wealth is not evenly distributed, as the top 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, exceeding the size of Switzerland's economy, according to The Wall Street Journal. This trend of wealth concentration is further highlighted by the fact that the number of U.S. billionaires has nearly doubled since 2021,

blaming both sides, while getting nothing done. This is still a democracy...(not sure for how long)...and it's voters that make the difference. Dems are on record for lowering the wealth gap...not Republicans...and Libertarians are powerless. DO SOMETHING about it.

We've been over this but you're another one of the people who are incapable of learning.

I've long proposed eliminating all deductions and completely simplifying the tax code. This is the very obvious solution that Republicans and Democrats outside of a few can't seem to grasp.

to create a new one...you're just fantasizing on that...Dems have always fought for increases in the Minimum Wage...Workers Rights and Unions...NOT the GOP...so you're wrong again on the Working Class category. Also, for ALL the 99%ers, KH would NOT have given any tax breaks to Billionaires and Corporations...wrong again. On the Fentanyl Front, we'd have 100+ High Tech Scanners at all our Border Checkpoints right now...wrong again...PLUS...we'd have a Bipartisan Border Security and Immigration Bill that exceeded everything Trump asked for in 2019...thus controlling the flow of immigrants...IN and OUT of the country (Faster Documentation and Deportation)...etc., etc.

Never mind avoiding the chaos DJT is sowing, along with his sell out of Ukraine...while preserving Judicial Due Process. Trump is a true existential threat to America, and you can't make a simple choice based on evidence.

Libertarians...by a Conservative...will help clear the scales from your eyes...here's an excerpt, but do yourself a favor and read it all...won't take as long as many of your podcasts...

-------------------
Burke’s Admonition

When government undertakes objectives far beyond these ends, often government falls into difficulty, not being contrived for the management of the whole of life. Thus far, indeed, conservatives and libertarians hold something in common. But the libertarians, rashly hurrying to the opposite extreme from the welfare state, would deprive government of effective power to conduct the common defense, to restrain the unjust and the passionate, or indeed to carry on a variety of undertakings clearly important to the general welfare. With these failings of the libertarians plain to behold, conservatives are mindful of Edmund Burke’s admonition concerning radical reformers: “Men of intemperate mind never can be free. Their passions forge their fetters.”

Thus in the nature of things, conservatives and libertarians can conclude no friendly pact. Adversity sometimes makes strange bedfellows, but the present successes of conservatives disincline them to lie down, lamb-like, with the libertarian lions.

By this time, possibly I have made it sufficiently clear that I am no libertarian. I venture to suggest that libertarianism, properly understood, is as alien to real American conservatives as is communism. The typical conservative in this country believes that there exists an enduring moral order. He knows that order and justice and freedom are the products of a long and often painful social experience, and that they must be protected from abstract radical assaults. He defends custom, habit, tested institutions that have functioned well. He says that the great virtue in politics is prudence: judging any public measure by its long-run consequences. He is attached to a society of diversity and opportunity, and he is suspicious of any ideology that would rule us by a single abstract principle, whether that principle is “equality” or “liberty” or “social justice” or “national greatness.” He recognizes that human nature and society cannot be perfected: politics remains the art of the possible. He adheres to private property and free economic enterprise; he is aware that decent government, repressing violence and fraud, is necessary for the survival of a health economy.

--------------------------

Here's another famous Edmund Burke quote..."Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little"...ring any bells with your recent posts?
