They want tax hikes. Very few Democrats offered specific tax plans, but they uniformly opposed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Some, like returning Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), promised to repeal it.
They want "Medicare for All." Health care was one of the biggest issues in the campaign, and the Democrats used it to their advantage. Americans are understandably concerned about the exorbitant cost of health insurance, which ObamaCare was supposed to reduce.
They want $15 minimum wage. The Democrats will push to double the federal minimum wage. That means employers in Topeka, Kansas and Pottsville, Penn. will have to pay the same wages as employers in San Francisco and New York City.
They want mandatory paid leave. This is high on the Democrats’ wish list. They want to force businesses, no matter how small, to provide paid leave. Most businesses already provide paid leave, but many small businesses can’t.
