Push to make sure tax system is fair
Editor,
After the Great Depression and WWII, our Congress realized their main job was not only protecting but also improving its citizens’ lives.
From the 1930s to 1960s, Congress created Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, developed regulations preventing bank failures, empowered unions and developed the GI Bill making a home and college affordable for Veterans. All required funding through taxation.
