We need to take on the absurd canard that helping people will weaken them, make them dependent or disincentivize them. I’ve thought a lot about what’s given me whatever success I’ve had & I’ve realized main 3 things: 1) someone helped me 2) someone helped me 3) someone helped me.

That’s how Joe Biden found success too - someone helped him... his rich donors, corrupt cronies and the media mafia.

@marwilliamson It's the result of centuries of "rugged individualism" cultural propaganda. Many won't accept any help if they view it as a "handout" Had healthcare thru a union in the 1960s? "Sure!" Need healthcare thru the gov't in 2020 b/c unions are broken? "No way!"

Economic justice is not “government creating an inefficient centrally planned program.” That’s just propaganda created by those who want to keep all the money.

The alternative to that is truly harrowing, so for the next however many days let’s do everything possible to make it happen - and pray for a miracle.
