The only way for ordinary workers (pick a number. bottom 90%? 80% whatever.) to thrive and live comfortably is to take the wealth of the nation from the top and spend it on the bottom. National health care. Paid maternity leave. Free/low-cost college. Low-cost child-care. A minimum wage that is a living wage.
Obviously, our almost 40 year-old experiment in giving more money to the wealthy as the way to a broad based thriving economy has failed.
