The problem is agreeing on "fair." For me, it ain't ridiculously high progressive tax brackets.
Those tax rates were post-war era boom... until the economy hit the shitter in the 70s. The current economy is much more tenuous.
I think the Dems are in real danger. I want that asshat out of office, but the progressive faction is turning those who don't identify with either party off. If that's the party they wanna be, cool, but they could very well lose in 2020 because of the fractures.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
