That's easy. Raise taxes on the rich and use the proceeds to do things that benefit the poor and middle class. Public schools. Health insurance. The safety net. Transit. National parks. Make it easier to unionize. Enforce the antitrust laws. Enforce consumer protection laws.
Will speak to the rest tomorrow.
