America has a permanent underclass which is dealt with simply by leaving it out of the conversation, normalizing people’s despair and pretending they don’t exist. Since the pandemic began, millions more have fallen into poverty and billionaires have only increased their wealth.
Here’s the deal: America is the only leading economy in the world where the economy as a whole is stronger than before the pandemic. Our economic plans are working.

“We have 41 million people in America living in poverty—And we have 93 million Americans living near poverty. We have 13 million hungry children in this the richest country in the world.” Marianne Williamson

Every country has an underclass, but ours is not permanent. Millions fallen behind thanks to government. Billionaires only benefit by solving problems for others. Do better, Miss Department of Peace....

The Dems’ official messaging is still way off. The 99% are still not back in play, due to the pandemic and low wages. The corporations are making huge profits. Way to go, 1%ers! We need Joe to denounce the big donors and represent the 99%, to win 2022.
