You should only watch this if you like common sense solutions.

2. Customers create jobs, not the rich.

When a rich customer comes into your store or restaurant, you like that. They spend more than an average middle class customer. They may spend ten times more. (I'll bet the waitress likes that tip.) HOWEVER, the rich guy doesn't make ten times more than a middle class guy, he makes a thousand times more.

So, would you rather have one rich customer spending ten times the normal amount, or one thousand middle class customers?

3. This is NOT "Theory".

It is HISTORY.

Where isn't the leadership giving HISTORY lessons
instead of calling for a 3-1/2% increase in "Wages,Tips, and Salaries" (don't mention Capital Gains) on The Rich?

Where is the Party calling for a return to the Economic/Trade Policies that produced the wealthiest, most upwardly mobile Middle/Working Class the World has ever seen?
I want to vote FOR them.
Like I said, it isn't "theory",
It is Proven HISTORY!

Thank You, Robert Reich.
It IS THAT simple.
Of course, he IS an Economic Adviser in the White House,
isn't he?


You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.

"Of course, he IS an Economic Adviser in the White House,

I've been a fan since he served as Secretary of Labor in Bill Clinton's first term.

A good man. Kinda like Paul Krugman, but Paul can't cartoon. You'd expect a Nobel Laureate to at least be able to draw?
