This one is tougher with wealth disparities, because the wealthy will always have more opportunities and programs available to them. Public funding for after school programs and camps.

Democrats did a good thing with the child tax credit that lifted millions of kids out of poverty. They of course botched it, per usual, by placing a time limit on it, and now it's expired.
- nightski 3y agoUniversal healthcare sets a base standard which is fantastic but it in no way equalizes healthcare across the economic spectrum.
