We built it together
by Elizabeth Warren


..................................

And then about 30 years ago, our country moved in a different direction. New leadership attacked wages. They attacked pensions. They attacked health care. They attacked unions. And now we find ourselves in a very different world from the one our parents and grandparents built. We are now in a world in which the rich skim more off the top in taxes and special deals, and they leave less and less for our schools, for roads and bridges, for medical and scientific research - less to build a future.

.................

The Republicans believe in an America that is rigged for the big guys - giant corporations that can hire an army of lobbyists, ship jobs overseas, and take their profits to the Cayman Islands.

That's not who we are as a people - and that's not the kind of country we want to be.

We built America together, and that's what makes America great.

2. Too bad the Republicans can't understand this simple message.

The "about 30 years ago" is the music to my ears quote out of this. A blunt all out attack on "trickle-down and the last thirty years of Republican "supply-side" thought would be so welcome. Of course, because of the eight Clinton years the attack gets a bit complicated as we don't want to risk offending members of our own camp--and I like Bill Clinton.

In the end we are suffering from the thirty years brought about by "trickle-down" and the so called Reagan revolution. Common sense tells me that to attack what the GOP has given for thirty years is the most simple, honest, and REAL campaign we could make.

But how to attack 30 years, when Clinton was stuck in the middle makes it a bit complicated.
Maybe it would take the "Big Dog" himself to find a way through the difficulty...
