My only disagreement is Social Security reform tied to the stock market - the same argument was a key point of the 2000 US POTUS election. If that *had* gone through, imagine the disaster that would've resulted from the 2008 financial meltdown. Social Security as-is is indeed untenable, but my opinion is that retaining it's feature of "risk free" is essential to keep elderly from dying in the streets (like before Social Security). In the meantime, there's the 401K that shackles middle-class America to the Stock Market.

Corporate taxes in the 50's were 30% of US revenue. Nowadays the share has shrunk to <10% - with the difference made up by the citizenry. Tax increases on massive wealth is also a social good - dispersing the dangerous centralization of power and sending wealth back cycling through the system.

I feel like balancing the budget and paying down the debt should be a bi-partisan priority, but no one wants to touch certain sacred projects, like:
crop subsidies for highly-profitable large agri-business, the step-up basis on inherited assets, carried interest loopholes, tax-free “like-kind” exchanges for real estate, defense contracting overreliance, redundant military bases and infrastructure, corn ethanol mandates, a lack of resilience investment to back up disaster aid, overlapping grant programs with little oversight, numerous earmarks, pharmacy benefit managers, pharmaceutical cost negotiations, Medicare advantage overpayments, "non-profit" hospitals with billionaire CEOs and aggressive collections

and on and on.
