    Do you think taxes are the only economic concerns?

    “True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.”- Franklin D. Roosevelt

    If the Democratic Party still thinks we’re still partying in the 1990s at the height of economic boom and neoliberal politics, when the average Americans’ purchasing power was much higher than now and wealth inequality was low, then they need to wake up. The party is over.

        More Latinos and African Americans voted Trump than before.

        Ultimately, it is down to economic anxiety. The rich co-opt identity issues to manipulate the public to keep fighting amongst themselves. If you can’t see it, you will eventually.
