38.1 million people live in poverty.
27.5 milion don't have health insurance- including 4.3 million children.
The bottom 25% of households earn less than $22,500 per year- not individually, for the entire household.
We just saw a massive financial crisis centered in our market that disrupted economies around the world, and resulted in a huge shift from home ownership to tenancy.
Entire generations suffer crippling student debt.
The workforce has shrank remarkably as folks withdraw from the market, unable to find sustaining work.
The share of profit afforded workers has fallen well beyond a crisis nexus.
Yet, here's Mark, celebrating how great the system is working-
-for him. Remember, Mark's declared intent in voting for Trump was to foment war, break the Union. His idea of a "working" US democracy is aligned with Putin's.
