DC outsiders like Trump and a vast majority of the American people would support these types of compromises.
Unfortunately DC is made of career politicians who make a living holding office. The entire town is made of people who make billions off the political system. Corporate mainstream media also makes a living off of the system.They don’t want these issues settled. Abortion, minimum wage, tax rates etc...
The best most fair tax system would be a flat consumption tax. It nails all the elite .1%ers trustfunders and ultra rich tech giants. And it still requires the lowest income earners to have a stake in the game which keeps them involved. It also limits DCs power over the people. Needless to say we won’t be seeing this system anytime soon.
As far as gun control we have 20,000 laws on the books. There already are licensing requirements. Law abiding citizens aren’t the problem. 65% of gun deaths are suicide. 15% are legal shootings by law enforcement. 3% accidental.
That leaves 17% of gun deaths which are criminal gun violence. 25% of those occur in 4 cities. Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Washington DC, all of which have the strictest gun control laws. Of the remaining, 33% are in CA which also has the strictest gun control laws. Take a wild guess which party runs all of those places.
The idea of compromise and proactive solutions is great. But it requires 2 parties to have proactive solutions and a desire to put the American people first. The democrat party puts its acquisition of power first and has since JFK. They have no ideas or no solutions to bring to the table. They have hate, and unfortunately, hate isn’t part of compromise.
