      Disgusted by the Republicans' adventures in culture war, the Democrats now propose to give us... class war. Hard to say which the historical precedents are worse for. The 20th century was basically a hard-fought tie in that respect.

      I asked myself if there's a group that gets attacked either way, and there is: successful immigrants.

      Hypothesis: you can measure the health of a country by how they treat successful immigrants.

          I would add to that how they treat their seniors @paulg

          I'd venture to guess that people often want to claim successful immigrants as citizens...

          Simpler option: health of a country: how many people want to immigrate even if they have to fly in. (Land immigrants shows local maxima)

          Related: fixing the broken system that limits skilled foreign nationals from emigrating here and adding value is one of the easiest policy 'wins' out there. "Oh, you want to come here and sell your services as a skilled engineer/doctor/developer? No thanks."

          some dems want to increase tax on the super-wealthy. Calling that 'class war' seems like an exaggeration. Maybe it's good policy and maybe its bad. but its not 'class war'.

          Paul, do you think it's possible for politicians to focus on inequality w/out being a class warrior? If Y, what does that look like? Otherwise, my dad is a successful immigrant & he'd probably argue that his experience is fine, but the failure is how we treat the most vulnerable
