We Really Need to Do Something in U.S. Regarding Our Aging InfraStructure...

Did Barack Obama do anything to get the ball rolling on this major problem?

I believe we need major investment in infrastructure. The people should get something back for their tax money, namely useful programs like infrastructure investment, universal non-profit medical care, high quality education and good public schools, job training, public safety, etc. In short: Domestic Improvements.

What we should NOT spend tax money on is the utterly wasteful war/occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, reckless military adventures, bail-outs and subsidies for corporations and billionaires.

And We should ban off-shore tax havens and other tax-dodging schemes for the wealthy. Billionaires should be forced to do their patriotic duty and pay their fare share of taxes.

@badminton Define "fair share".

@sunsporter1649 I'd be happy with the tax laws the U.S. had in 1960.
