    The dems suck too. This is a class war. We need a class party. One where no office member can make above what the bottom 80% of the country makes and no dodgy bullshit or gifts or spousal income workarounds or anything else.

        No rich people would be allowed to hold office in that party. That’d be the point.

          So homeless then, I guess. Unless there’s some secret sauce to owning/renting a home in DC and your home district while making $16k annually (that’s the average after tax income for the lowest earning quintile of the population)

          Edit: i may be misreading what you meant…if you meant they’d be in the 4th lowest quintile, that gets its up to around $120k…still a tall order.

            You were misreading.

            What I brought up obviously doesn’t have all the details ironed out. Just a base concept. Add some money in for the 2nd home.
