RT #[0] Just another reminder that trickle down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Researchers estimate that if the top 1% of Americans paid the full amount of taxes they owed, it would raise $175 billion a year. That’s just UNPAID taxes. Not new or higher taxes. This is the real looting in America.

If this year taught us anything, it's that: 1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires. 2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers. 3) Poverty is a policy choice. 4) Health care is a human right. 5) Strikes work. I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.
