Agree. And also time to abandon the working assumption, grounded in the New Deal, that current powers that be have any sort of goodwill for the public. A political system that elevates people to power and money via corporate campaign contributions (regardless of party label) is one that rewards greed and fear of missing out among politicians, not care for the common good. The incentives are all for asset-stripping what's left of the middle class. The wearing-down of Medicare, so much more effective than a direct attack, is, unfortunately, an excellent example.
