Reply #6: Some false assumptions. [View All]

[Exiled in America]

I'm assuming that the reason you think that quote will hurt progressives has to do with progressives being focused on easing the burden of the poor?

The false assumption is that what will be in the interests of the "many" which I believe you take to be the middle-class are at odds with the news of the "few" which I believe you take to be the poor in America.

That is far from an axiomatic statement. The "many" in America are the 80% of the country who make less than 200,000 dollars a year. The "few" are by far not the substantial number of americans living below the poverty line, but the tiny percentile of Americans living at the top and dictating government economic policy. That's what needs to change.
