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.

This is the most moronic statement on the economy since Keynes, and his idiotic theory. The lying left, and their Fabian/Marxist progressive authoritarian religion, has turned our nation into a third world crap hole.

Please run for president again. You are the looniest of looney liberals. You have no understanding that economic goods require economic inputs, among which are entrepreneurial and managerial expertise. In the Middle Ages, you would have been leading the Children's Crusade.

And you think a president can make that happen guess what they can't

Well you just lost the election without even starting. This is how EVERY independent loses respect for candidates like you. NO ONE with a brain thinks it is feasible to pay for all of this and KNOWS you don't think it is either. 1/2

They will rail about the costs. We will need to unwind post WW2 imperialism and strengthen the UN to ensure international border protections. At minimum, we need a 50% decrease in military spending then invest that into these programs.

In 1970, 54% of households were middle class. Today, it's 41%. But that's not the whole story. In 1970, 35% were poor. Today, it's 30%. Where did all these people go? In 1970, 12% of households were rich. Today, it's 29%. US Census Bureau, Current Population Survey, Table H-17.

We are experiencing this now. We need change in leadership.

And who’s going to foot the bill? And how about all of the people who sacrificed vacations, investments, second homes, etc. and paid their tuition? All the answers, no real solutions.
