    No more billionaires, but everyone can be a millionaire.

    The shortest path to equality is to greatly reduce taxes on the middle class and increase them on the wealthy.

    It puzzles me why leftist parties don’t all embrace lower taxes for the middle class.

      They all do. My best guess as to why you’d say this is that you’re including Democrats.

      At risk of a strawman…

      That’s what’s best for equality and for economic growth. Does this mean Democrats are horribly incompetent? Perhaps it’s that equality and economic growth aren’t their goals.

      Functionally, we don’t have one. The closest is the Green Party, but they’re so powerless that they may as well not exist.
