But that could never happen because Clintonite capitalism favors capital. As did Obama’s moderate capitalism.

Again, I'm not sure that the ideas that
could have gotten somewhere wouldn't have gained traction if Republicans did not exert such outsized power relative to their numbers in this country. I'm not really debating you. But if the Republican Party were a reasonable political party interested in actually improving this country, things would be a whole lot different.
