  4.  @govindraghavan9493  Medicare for All is new and untested? On what planet do you live? Every other development nation has some sort of single payer system which provides better healthcare at half half the cost. Here in the USA we have "tested" Medicare for decades it is the single most popular program our government runs. Please go visit someone over 65 and ask them if they have ever heard of Medicare you will be shocked to find out that not only have they heard of it but they like it and don't want the government to take it away. As to taxing the wealthy not working you need to study history from the 40s to the 80s we taxed the wealthy and had the greatest economic growth in this country. Only when the GOP came up with the myth of job creators and trickle down economics did we see the owners extract wealth and ship jobs overseas. Because if you tax personal wealth the owners have an incentive to reinvest the earning of the company back into the company and the workers. When you don't tax personal wealth greed takes over and the revenue spent growing the company or employee payroll simply becomes a cost to be minimized in the pursuit of more personal wealth. The myth that wealthy people will flee the country is just fearmongering. The reality is the top 400 wealthiest people in the USA have a combined net worth of 3 trillion dollars which has more then doubled since the great recession. While half of all Americans still have not recovered from the great recession in 2008. Our current system of giving tax breaks to the wealthy elite is an epic failure which has distorted our manufacturing capacity and reduced this nation into a class based society where the barrons on industry once again have more wealth and power them anytime in the history of this country. It has created greater income inequality them we had in a century ago. You need to study how the 1920s ended because it will show you the fact that our current income inequality won't end well either. You also don't understand the meaning of a jobs guarantee in the green new deal it means that we will make sure there is retaining for the coal miners and opportunities for them. Unlike Mitch McConnell and Trump who make promises they failed to keep saying they would protect the coal industry. Then when the coal mine goes bankrupt and refused to pay the out of work mines for their last 2 weeks labor where was Mitch McConnell or Trump? Nowhere it was Bernie Sanders who supported the protesting coal miners because he knew the miners where correct that the first debt which needed to be paid with that last train load of coal was the labor to fill the train not some billionaires loan to the company that refused to pay the hard working. Coal miners. So the federal jobs guarantee means that the coal miners don't get left on the track blocking a train. Instead they are paid and retained with the skills that our new economy needs. Ultimately they will be hired by some new private sector company. Maybe as a wind turbine technician or in all carbon battery storage manufacturing. But you are wrong if you believe it means that the government will take over the means of production and employ people directly that is just right wing propaganda. You need to do your homework.
