At this point? Literally just killing the mother fuckers (through the legal use of state punishment of course).

I really don't want my childrens children having to deal with this as we try to debate more liberal based policies that will inevitably be chipped away at again in the future. We can't leave the class structures in place that got us to this point again. If we do, we are absolutely failing future generations.

People talk about FDR like we need a "new new deal". Nah. Fuck that. We need a "burn it the fuck down and put the pedophile capitalist in a prison cell Deal"

The policies we need don't really have to do with taxation at all. And really what we need is beyond just policy changes too.
