Picketty: Pandemic could be an opportunity

In this recent interview he notes that we could use the pandemic to address income inequality. But that would require moving our current system "into a more egalitarian, diplomatic trajectory." This would entail employing the populist economic ideas of Sanders and Warren: "We’re talking about a higher minimum wage, more investment in public universities, more progressive taxation at the top," the latter including a billionaire tax. 

If the recent 'stimulus' Bill is any example, so much for that idea. The only solution is to beat Repugs in elections. And the only way to do that is to replace establishment Dems with progressives in primaries. Otherwise it's status quo all the way to the bank for them. And to the poor house for us.
