Unfortunately, it means that you are asking the wealthy to give up much of their wealth.

I'm not sure how this happens. You can't even get people at the lowest wrung of the ladder to get behind this, because they truly believe, in their heart of hearts that THEY can become uber-rich.

This is not just a white people fantasy. Every American believes it. It is deeply engrained.

So maybe the second baby step to the moon shot is just going back to the tax tables of the 70s. Gotta start somewhere. Wipe Ronald Reagan from history. Start with that?
