    taxes pooled together from all of our incomes cannot be used to subsidize Healthcare, education and a basic living income for all citizens

    Well that’s how it’s done in most rich and even some poor countries. So I assume you are talking about the US which is indeed in a terrible situation with human rights for it’s wealth. And sadly voting red/blue won’t ever change it.

      I’m increasingly coming to the point that legislators are people, like you and me.

      Maybe if we focused less on convincing Congress, and more on occupying Congress, we would have solved these problems… whether as Progressive Democrats or Independents.
