Should the government reduce the wealth gap?

Reg voters:
yes 59%
no 25%
not sure 16%

Why isn't the Democratic Party pushing more on this. Why aren't we putting more pressure on the politicians.

1. Some Dems have been paid not to push on wealth inequality

But the smart ones worth electing certainly are.

2. Maybe we should focus on the socialism granted billionaires

The tax code was written for them. Tax cuts, write offs, subsidies, depreciation, deferred maintenance. There's every trick in the book to help them. They create jobs? Good. Does that mean we have to reward them?

3. "Why isn't the Democratic Party pushing more on this."

Because it gets bogged down in the details as how to actually reduce the wealth gap, along with Republicans lying about ‘communism.’

4. I believe we have many wealthy politicians in our own party.

5. Are you crazy?

They'll call us commies or socialists. There's no defense against that.

6. Should also go for corporations

Its insane that we are still subsidizing Big Oil.
