16. In the old days, the wealthy contributed back to society.

They helped build things that REALLY made America great - like the Hoover Dam and the Interstate Highway System, they financed our national parks, state schools, and airports. They stopped at rail though.

These days America's wealthy just hoard all the money for themselves in off shore bank accounts. They do nothing, they don't pay taxes, they just let it sit and collect interest. And now they're taking away our basic social safety nets so they can get even richer while having access to all of our personal and private data.

Let's bring the former back and really make America great.
