The purpose of govt is to help its people; what Lincoln called govt “of the people, by the people & for the people.” Purpose of govt isn’t to help a few people at the expense of everyone else; that’s govt “of a few of the people, by a few of the people & for a few of the people.

The idea that by increasing the riches for a few we would uplift the many, is an economic theory that over the last 40 years has created the greatest income inequality since 1929. The American people need to recognize its tenets as a system of economic tyranny, and repudiate it.

The way to help everyone win is to help everyone win. That’s why universal health care, free college, and cancelling college loan debt are the keys to economically righting our ship. Let more people into the game! Help more people win! America itself then wins.

I liked some of your tweets . The one about our founding fathers and the factions that destroy our politics is the best . I heard you on FoxNews talk about this not putting our country forward .

That is not the purpose of government. However it is the purpose of Religious organizations and other groups. The government should provide a framework. The beauty of American Democracy is best seen at the local/community level.
