Many on this forum think I'm moderate, at least economically, but I'm more of a leftist (at least now) than they might think. I favor a very sharp increase in income taxes for the wealthy; I think it's not unreasonable for people to pay 70% of each dollar above 1 million they make annually.
Also, something closer to a single payer health care system in this country would be better than the current system.
I'm also pretty leftist on education. We should fund public education in a way that aims to make it attainable for all, regardless of community or individual income, and average teacher salaries should be at least doubled. Private and Charter schools should not be publicly funded at all.
My economic score on the political matrix should shift leftward when I finally take it again.
