Labour needs to secure public patience for a path full of bold moves, steadying hands, & maybe… a few mistakes. Can they? #BudgetAnalysis #FutureofLabour #PublicTrust #Budget2024 #Labour https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/01/reeves-budget-labour-revolution-public-trust

When President Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, the marginal tax rate for the highest income bracket was 70 percent, but that fell to just 28 percent by the time he left office. Middle-out policies, which combat inequality and strengthen the middle class through a progressive economic agenda, have the promise to bring about a new era of shared prosperity in our nation. #ProgressiveEconomics #Inequality #WealthGap https://www.americanprogress.org/article/trickle-down-economics-and-broken-promises/
