The author captures the politicians who have been considered extreme left wing of the Democratic Party: Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In general, they shared the same perspective that the government should focus on those who need.
I have been personally a supporter. I still support the need of the rich to be taxed somewhat similar to what they were taxed in the time of President Roosevelt, i.e., about 40% that then now 4%. The rich absorb so much and the poor have so little. The rich not only have the means to be happy with their resources but also purchase additional awesome houses elsewhere to assure that they will be happy while the poor struggle.
I still have those views! However, I am aware that the prospects of adopting those values is beyond the pale. The upcoming 2024 election may result in a nightmare. For me as a old person, I will be spared. But I fear for the children, grandchildren and those to come.
