Wealth tax, Social Security, the money that we need in order to have child care, Medicare, it’s all right there in the Finance Committee. You know, we talk a lot in this country, we talk a lot on your program, about inequality in our nation. And much of that inequality has gone forward through things that come through the Finance Committee like the huge tax cuts that went through at the beginning of the Trump administration, but also much of how we combat inequality goes through that committee as well, Medicare, the Affordable Care Act, as I said, Social Security. So I just think it’s an important crossroads of how we build a future.
