Guidelines:
We should tax the rich and spend on infrastructure.
But…
These are two separate conversations. We don’t need to tax before we can afford to spend. The deficit myth is a rhetorical sleight of hand that the powerful use to avoid authorizing spending on stuff they don’t like.
What's even more nefarious is that when Henry Ford and Co lobbied to create the highway system, while also blocking the initiative to build a rail system which was originally planned, knew that their roads would need massive repair costs but gave literally zero shits because that was someone else's problem for long after they had died.
In true capitalist fashion, they knew this was coming the moment they planned it out and decided "fuck it, I got mine".
We don't need to repair this shit. We need to replace it with public transit and rail. We need a complete restructuring of our nation's infrastructure.
