Sometimes I’m told that I’m too progressive for Western New York. JFK fought for Medicare for all. FDR fought for a Wealth Tax. LBJ and LBJ fought poverty. Heck, Ronald Reagan himself fought assault weapons. Step back. I’m mainstream. https://t.co/V7ttat5Zd6

He then explained the second theory: "if we make the average of mankind comfortable and secure, their prosperity will rise upward..." Next, he described what was wrong with the first theory--trickle-down economics--by quoting from various Christian groups and leaders of the day:

“the wealthy are overpaid in sharp contrast with the underpaid masses of the people. The concentration of wealth carries with it a dangerous concentration of power. It leads to conflict and violence...”

“...the present distribution of wealth and income, which is so unbrotherly in the light of Christian ethics, is also unscientific in that it does not furnish purchasing power to the masses to balance consumption and production in our machine age."

"It is patent in our days that not alone is wealth accumulated, but immense power and despotic economic domination are concentrated in the hands of a few... This concentration of power has led to a three-fold struggle for domination:”

”First, there is the struggle for dictatorship in the economic sphere itself; then the fierce battle to acquire control of the Government, so that its resources and authority may be abused in the economic struggle, and, finally, the clash between the Governments themselves."

“We so easily forget. Once the cry of so-called prosperity is heard in the land, we all become so stampeded by the spirit of the god Mammon, that we cannot serve the dictates of social conscience..."

"We talk of the stabilization of business. What we need is the stabilization of human justice and happiness and the permanent employment of economic policies which will enable us to preserve the essential human values of life amid all the changing aspects of the economic order”

In 1932, FDR said "there are two theories of prosperity and of well-being: The first theory is that if we make the rich richer, somehow they will let a part of their prosperity trickle down to the rest of us."

I just heard some tragic news about the death of a dear friend from suicide. Those close to me are sharing the loss. He was so young. My heart aches for his family, for him, for all of us who knew him really. So sudden. You were good. ❤️

How can you not worry about a country where 50% are unwilling to accept bold admissions and endless testimony about the President’s crimes . . . while thousands believe online fiction and conspiracy. https://t.co/ujZg35qPE8

Would you be surprised if the whistleblower ended up physically hurt? Would some not try to justify it? Even though Trump admitted everything the whistleblower claimed.

My whole life I’ve been hearing about “liberal years.” But suddenly it’s all the billionaires who are crying . . . Boo hoo

There were 3 million people on Haiti when Columbus landed. 50 years later, there were only 500.

The amount of institutional resistance to Bernie Sanders over the last few years, and his enduring presence, speaks volumes about both the weakness of our current political system and the power of his message.

The only thing that I can see that Donald Trump did for Alabama is humiliate Jeff Sessions (for not willingly breaking the law for Trump) and telling people to vote for a pedophile against @DougJones Yeah? Go Tide?
