In the 1960’s, President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed a War on Poverty. In the 1980’s the pillars of poverty alleviation were removed in favor of a “trickle-down economic theory” that govt policy advocating for corporate wealth would “lift all boats.”

After 40 years the jury is in: Trickle down economics didn’t lift all boats, it left millions of people without even a life vest. No real income inequality in the 1970s; now, 1% of all Americans own more wealth than the bottom 90%. 93 million Americans in poverty or near poverty.

Impeach Marianne Williamson before we're ALL living under a bridge!

Please provide the numbers on how much each proposal will cost. You're clearly too afraid to. You just presented numbers for cuts, but you don't even know how much $ you're offering to spend. You aren't serious about this president thing. Just quit like you quit college.

Marianne please take a look at Sander’s plan to tax the wealthy. His model would cut a billionaire’s wealth in half in 15 years. The 3% and 2% tax that you and Warren propose only make a small dent. These people would virtually still have the same wealth and power.
