Here here. Anything that helps people thrive builds a better economy and a healthier society. We need to end the 40-yr long massive transfer of wealth into the hands of a tiny few, and end the trickledown nightmare.

Ms. Author ... The phrase to which you are attempting to refer is, "Hear! Hear!" Literacy ... Learn it. Love it. Live it.

“Trickle down economics has given 1% of our population the ownership of over 90% of our wealth. We need to recognize the human suffering that has emerged from this.”

Biden doesn’t think so. He thinks giving kids massive debt is fine, and they should be strapped with that debt for life regardless of what happens.

Question ... Republicans have said to me ... If the Democrats get in ... where will we get the money to support all the programs they want to enact ... Answer ... The money is there ... it just needs to be re-allocated!

How does giving Nancy Pelosi even more power help transfer wealth away from her? She's used her position to accumulate enormous wealth and the citizens keep electing her.

Americans don’t understand that “free” university is a PREREQUISITE for true single-payer healthcare (M4A). US doctors finish college with ~$225k debt + $30k pre-med. Primary reason why “customary” charges are 10x higher than, say, Belgium where college is publicly financed?

If college is free, then what makes it valuable? You can educate yourself on the internet for free. If it is free, then someone is paying for it. Maybe the teachers will work for free, and everyone should get straight A's as well. Why even need colleges just give away money

It's important to understand the effect of the Reagan era and the rise of movement conservatism. Those were 'coups' as well.
