It works in Northern Europe. Taxation rates that U.S. Republicans would call 'confiscatory'.

If the U.S. had taxation rates and regulatory control of 'loopholes' equivalent to the U.S. in the 1950s and 60s, there would be NO national debt.

The U.S. lost control of its government to elites as their percentage of their wealth climbed relentlessly in Reagan's wake.

In the meantime, we've been distracted by social issues. Guns and trans-gender bathrooms.

Elites wet their boat-shoes on their yachts laughing at us.
