In the 1970s the average American worker had good benefits, could own a home and a car, could take a yearly vacation & send their kids to college; plus one parent could stay home if they wanted. And then we began the trickle-down nightmare. #TaxTheRich

Now is the time to think big, not small — that means restoring the corporate tax rate to 35%, cracking down on offshore tax shelters, and closing corporate tax loopholes. This would generate at least $2.3 TRILLION to invest in the long-neglected needs of the working class.

The American people have lost two-thirds of their Standard of Living since the early 1970s. Neo-liberalism and free trade have gutted the United States!

Who could possibly believe that “trickle down” worked in the workers favor? I didn’t then and still don’t now. It’s such an obvious scam.

It started with Ronald Reagan, the Corporate Agenda of weakening the Middle Class.

It was a bunch of white men who said, lets make this a neo-fascist country, just because THEY COULD. Now they fear becoming exposed. We need a peace summit stat.

it's condescending to have politicians shout at the people and not hear people like Bernie shouting this out to his "good friend Joe Biden."

Truth. I was a kid in the 70s and this was my family’s life.
