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.

Just because the rich get richer, does that mean the poor get poorer? Can’t we all keep getting richer if they can print as much money as they want? Money is only worth what it can buy…

No righteous person wants to think their ability to create wealth is at the expense of other people getting a chance to. Yet that’s what has happened. You’re right that there is nothing wrong with making money! But there is something wrong with squeezing everything from those who do not have, in order for those who already have to have even more.

Except that doesn't happen. At all. Our "tax" system in fact is about half a PAYMENT system to the low income earners... literally writing checks, while taxing the other half. It's a welfare system as much as a tax system today.

Historical guilt is quickly losing its appeal.

This system was established during slavery. This country function the backs of cheap labor. Is it too late over four hundred years after the fact?

But your answer is big goverment and socialism. That is the cause NOT the solution.

The government ate the ones "squeezing" the life out of us in order to pay for the things that you want.
Replying to @marwilliamson @CallahanAutoCo
Biden has already said that.

@Marwilliamson It's modern day slave labor where people are forced to work for jobs they can't afford to leave but can't afford to survive rising prices. I sent you an email if you can please check it.

Who’s doing that, Marianne, name some names, tell us who’s doing this…I dont believe you can.
Replying to @marwilliamson @CallahanAutoCo
That's not what happened. The government steals wealth by printing money, then directs the use of that money through taxation. Central planning DOES NOT WORK.
Replying to @marwilliamson @CallahanAutoCo
Are you suggesting that there is one pot of money?
