Tens of millions of Americans have no real hope of participating in a vibrant economy. They live each day to serve the economy; the economy does not serve them. They survive but they do not thrive. Healthcare and access to higher education could literally be a lifeline for them.

In the richest, most powerful democracy in the world there should not be so many economically desperate people. Low unemployment rates mask the deeper reality of almost 40 million people living in poverty. An incremental approach to fixing this is morally wrong. We can fix it now

#RepairAmericaMovement “There is a contest between moderates & liberals. The moderates say we should use an incremental approach to America’s course correction, & the progressives say we need a fundamental & quick course correction.” America is in crisis. The time to act is now.

We are not a Democracy. We are Republic. Even the 'philosophers of old' said that a true democracy will not last because the people will continue to vote themselves benefits and not tax themselves. History is a great study when we want to know what will/will not work.

I wish we could see an Administration that encourages self-sufficiency instead of a dependency... incentivize businesses to create products that last not that break down and replace to keep making a profit... Cut expenses not just increase wages

Ps America is NOT the richest nation in the world anymore.. Nor most powerful. Do your homework fool.

It’s like the majority of the Democratic voters are morally blind. How do you help people that don’t want to be helped and don’t care about their neighbors that desperately need it?

It can be instant in a dictatorship but not a representative democracy. I’m sorry but that is the way it is. I choose democracy. We can fight to make things so much better if we stop fighting each other. I believe!
