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.

I have no respect for anyone who doesn't have any basic knowledge of economics like you. If you took every dime from the top 5% earners, you wouldn't pay for any of your programs for a single year. You just feed on jealousy that builds hate.
