Poverty and rights
We need a serious means to further that war on poverty that that amongst our greatest presidents, LBJ, started! Pres. Nixon started the Earned Income Tax Credit-Dr. Milton Friedman's, libertarian, to help the poor. Even Pres. Reagan favored it, as a means to get rid of other programs. It cannot be a stand alone as that still would not help the poor.
We should raise the minimum raise, if not go for the living raise should that be feasible!
I'll add more suggestions from a site next.
Why should Scandinavia rank ahead of us? Forget that homogeneity and small-country stuff. The states can also help.

Right of the people
Yes, we can on the gun matter as with other do what we can. Tis' the all or nothing fallacy to maintain otherwise! And ti's the slippery slope fallacy of prattling where does it stop.
People throw up straw men based on those two fallacies and others.
Outlawing the use of grenades does not lead to outlawing hand guns, etc. that non- sequitur and slippery slope fallacies.
Not using logical fallacies would enable discussions to proceed better!
The Ninth and Tenth Amendments speak of unrecorded rights; they are whence, our other rights stem. So, women do indeed have the right to choose. The courts and referenda have extended our rights.
Thankfully, the Fourteenth does also.
Federal powers have not led to real socialism! We liberals took socialist ideas to upgrade capitalism- that known practical, moral ideal!
Reactionary thought depends on logical fallacies and false facts. Logic is the bane of reactionaries. [ "Logic is the bane of theists." Fr. Griggs]
