Yeah so ideally the top 2% pay A TON more, especially the top 1% and corporations. And then we're going to invest it in schools, infrastructure, health care -- all the goodies. The middle class will grow and there will be plenty of money left over for riverwalk improvements. We can't recreate the post-war manufacturing economy, but we surely can enact similar New Deal policies that really lit a fire under it.
