We've had about 40 years of robbing the poor to pay the ultra-rich. Maybe it's time to stop voodoo economics, a.k.a., trickle-down. Maybe it's time to return to a progressive income tax structure where the amount you pay back depends on how much you extract from the economy and hoard.

Maybe it's also time to address the wrong-headedness of assuming only property owners benefit from educating the populace.
