Those who think that the cold weather will end the protests should think again. A new generation of leaders is just getting started. The new progressive age has begun.
- Jeffrey Sachs, The New Progressive Movement
Read the whole piece. Sachs sketches the series of gilded ages: the Robber Barons of the late 1800s overturned by Teddy Roosevelt and other progressives, the Roaring Twenties scotched by FDR, and the Reagan era that the new progressives seek to undo.
And his three point policy is dead on:
The new movement also needs to build a public policy platform. The American people have it absolutely right on the three main points of a new agenda. To put it simply: tax the rich, end the wars and restore honest and effective government for all.
Simplified:
- Tax The Rich
- End The Wars
- Government For All
