Trickle down economics has been a disaster for this country. It has completely destroyed America’s middle class. Democrats won’t win on the message that we can help people survive the disaster. We will win by saying we’re going to end it. Universal healthcare, tuition-free state colleges and universities, a guaranteed living wage, free childcare, paid maternity & paternity leave & guaranteed sick pay - like in every other advanced democracy! - will begin to right the ship.

Communism and socialism are proven losers. They don't work. If you really want to see citizens thrive you should be pushing for less federal income tax. That will allow and reward working-class families to increase wealth.

How is taxing the “rich” and redistributing their wealth not “trickle down”…

Raising taxes and the minimum wage will further separate the rich from the poor. The middle class will fall further. Do we think prices won’t rise with increased wages? The companies will just “take one for the team” and lose their profit instead of increasing price?

Trickle down isn't completely effective there are definitely flaws but when you're only stimulating the bottom the money flies to the top. Look at what happened during covid. The only way to stabilize and grow the middle class is to encourage it's growth by supporting parents.

You were a very clear fringe candidate like way out there fringe candidate that no one took serious and will never take serious. Go back to writing books and whatever else you did, we have enough grifting extremists to deal with already, we don’t need yours too.

Ok Marianne, how do we pay for all your giveaways?? We’re already $32 Trillion in debt, and taxes are already too high for everyone…so no new or higher taxes…how do you pay for it???

Sounds like a recipe for disaster Clinton’s free trade treaties destroyed the middle class by exporting manufacturing overseas all the giveaways in the world won’t make up for what Clinton did
