gets us to universal health care. You are more interested in revenge against insurance companies. I'm more interested in getting everyone covered.

The 4,000 dollar tax credit is enough to cover in state tuition at just about every state university. This makes a huge difference in people's lives. So your post is still hogwash.

As far as the gap between rich and poor. The Clinton economy was good for just about everyone. Rich made a ton. But the poor did better as did the middle class. Unemployment was incredibly low. And the rich paid more in taxes.

I have worked for the afl-cio and many member unions. The decline in unionization is because of the shifting to a skills economy. And the fact that unions did not pour money into organizing until recently. Clinton promoted a ban on striker replacement, but the legislation was killed by a filibuster in the senate.
