Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other populist figures in the Democratic Party, I do not believe that \u201cdemography is destiny\u201d accurately reflects long-term political trends.<\/p>\n<p>Though we do know ethnic, religious, gender, educational, and regional groupings correspond to voting preferences, that our political parties and their consultants seek to emphasize these identity-based trends deeply concerns me. Hearing someone talk about \u201cThe African-American vote\u201d or the \u201cHispanic vote\u201d should be worrisome.<\/p>\n<p>Also,\u00a0\u201cminority ethnic groups\u201d in the United States have historically merged. There are notable exceptions, sadly, but a great many immigrant groups slowly came to be seen as generic. Admittedly, many of these groups merged with \u201cwhite\u201d \u2014 which is problematic. However, intermarriage is creating a curious mix of everything in the United States that might lead to a unique perspective.<\/p>\n<p>These groups are not going to be forever on the left, regardless of their identities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Left and right often have to do with economic experiences<\/strong>.\u00a0Historically, a percentage of voters shift from the &#8220;left&#8221; to &#8220;right&#8221; with major life events: marriage, career changes, home ownership, and so on. As groups experience financial mobility, they tend to shift their political motivations.<\/p>\n<p>A suburban parent, regardless of race or religion, naturally has different priorities than a single, young urbanite. \u00a0A small business owner starts to view taxes and regulations differently than that person did as a college student or employee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our experiences change us and these experiences correlate to age, education, employment, and location<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s going to be interesting is to see how the GOP reinvents itself (or not) after Donald Trump. Will the GOP return to the center-right and rebuild its coalition? Or, has the GOP shifted long-term to a socially conservative party without a libertarian wing? If there is no libertarian or classically liberal segment within the GOP, the party will wither and fade into history. Deservedly so.<\/p>\n<p>Will any of the smaller parties gain local or regional traction? Our system works against small parties and unaffiliated voters.<\/p>\n<p>The changes happening in the EU are largely to the center-right and (sadly) extreme nativists of left and right. (&#8220;Social supports for &#8216;true&#8217; Bavarians.&#8221; Joy. Not much better than &#8220;No immigrants in Italy!&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>Will the U.S. go one way while Europe goes another? It could happen.<\/p>\n<p>The claims that demography will shift the United States to the left assumes a lot about correlations. If citizens believe they can and might become entrepreneurs, managers, and members of the upper-middle class, they then support business-friendly tax and social policies.<\/p>\n<p>If, however, people feel they are stuck, with no mobility, then the progressive left will continue to expand in numbers and influence.<\/p>\n<p>Too often the populists of the U.S. left misrepresent European models, which complicates any policy debates.<\/p>\n<p>The calls to tax &#8220;more like Europe&#8221; are a bit off-base, if we include state, local, and federal taxes. Where we miss the mark is the lack of a VAT or at least national sales tax.\u00a0Our inheritance and capital gain taxes are insanely low, at thresholds too high, too.\u00a0Of the 12 nations with a wealth tax, eight have ended the test and the four remaining are trying to revise after poor collection results and high avoidance.<\/p>\n<p>The highest marginal rate in the OECD is 55%, with an average top marginal rate of 45%. People don&#8217;t realize we&#8217;re not that far from other OECD nations in effective INCOME tax rates, corporate taxes, and so on. The problem is&#8230; we&#8217;re incredibly inefficient and in two areas, healthcare and education, strangely over-priced.<\/p>\n<p>We won&#8217;t have the real debates on revenues that are needed, because too many upper-middle and upper-class (but not 1%) don&#8217;t want to lose their deductions and special breaks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stats.oecd.org\/index.aspx?DataSetCode=TABLE_I1\">https:\/\/stats.oecd.org\/index.aspx?DataSetCode=TABLE_I1<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>If we don\u2019t address mobility, the progressives will continue to rise.
