It's Time to Stop Taking from the Poor and Giving to he Rich

Statement

It's time to discard the idea of trickle-down economics for good.

The idea that if the rich got richer then everyone else would automatically follow suit has fallen flat. In the past thirty years the wealthiest few in our country have gotten immensely wealthier while the bottom 60% have had their share taken away, and yet we continue to let this discredited notion guide our country.

This must stop.

The American Dream was famously described as,

"that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement … a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."

It was a revolutionary idea, and for most of our history it was what defined us, to ourselves and to the world.

Let's bring the American Dream back.
