Since Reagan.

I fear that if we get a chance to stop it in 2018,

When I say reverse I mean increase taxes on the wealthy who have benefitted greatly the last 40 years.

Also, we demand getting rid of the root problem in our Democracy, campaign contributions, Super PACs, Dark Money, and the revolving Door! We institute media reform and require truth in news reporting, some standard that prevents intentional lies in our media.

This is what has allowed the rich to become a shadow government and brainwash many Americans to support their agenda's!
