The Democrats in the House and the Senate need to pass legislation for healthcare and use tax money they raise from those folks that earn over $300,000. The gap between the wealthy and the middle class needs to be shortened and this is a good way to achieve some redistribution for a cause that every person in the USA should be entitled to. There will never be an opportunity like this again so get on board you blue-dog Democrats because this will be your fault if it fails.
