“A necessitous man is not a free man.” - FDR With 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck and 1 in 9 Americans saying they’d be unable to absorb a $400 unexpected expenditure, the idea that we have the strongest economy in the world is morally questionable. 2/3

An economy that’s strong for the few at the expense of the many isn’t strong; it’s rigged. Until the system is fundamentally challenged then no matter which party is in charge the people will continue to lose. “Better jobs for the American people” is just code for “crumbs.” 3/3
