The Democratic infrastructure plan

As opposed to Dump's plan that privatizes infrastructure investment for tolls and fees, the Dem plan will have the government do the work so that we can use it for free. And it would be paid for by having the rich, those who benefit the most from infrastructure, pay their fair share by increasing the top personal tax rate and the corporate tax rates. The narrative is to compare giving tax breaks to the rich and corporations, which invest only in their own profits, to providing good-paying infrastructure jobs to we the people which spurs the entire economy. Even though there's no chance of it passing, it provides a stark contrast for voters in upcoming elections.
