As I watch this video, I wonder if something like this proposal is possible to currently implement in this country. If a politician can’t mention raising taxes and win a political office, how can the government ask its citizens to make any substantial sacrifice? I believe permanent political campaigns and around-the-clock news coverage have dangerously undermined our leaders’ ability to do what is right but may not be immediately popular. If that continues to be case, we’re fucked.
