If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that:
1) Poverty is a policy choice.
2) Workers keep America going, not billionaires.
3) Corporate profits don't trickle down.
4) Health care is a human right.
The time to act on these issues is now.
I think money does trickle down like water, but in economics the poor live up in the dry hills, and the rich and powerful have walled off the lake and rivers and oceans for their exclusive use.
Just like a healthy ecosystem, a healthy economy needs lots of water from the oceans to rain down on the hills, and then needs a thousand wetlands and small ponds and lakes to hold the water.
