Thanks for the comment and musing regarding the topic, I appreciate feeling some common thinking. Really, it's kind of lonely sometimes, even when it seems like people agree - do they really?
That's why I'm kind of laughing nobody seemed to come out and directly ask:
>Okay, how are you going to pay for it?
I have an answer, one that would be Boo'd to oblivion. A progressive Estate Tax bracket system of 0-30-85% according to full-worth structures (Trusts, Offshore, wtf-ever-we-gonna-find-that-money) because that'll level out the wealth gap right soon and fund plenty of public works projects.
The kind of maintenance that is needed because those in the top 0.01% can afford to teach their kids to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. That's what they say to poor people all the time, and they didn't grow up with billionaire parents. The pendulum must swing back.
