Reply #4: Howard Dean's formulation: here's what 95% of Americans can agree on [View All]

[yurbud]

this isn't a direct quote, but it's a good distillation

good schools
good jobs
affordable access to quality healthcare
safety (from foreign & domestic threats)

I would add:

fair taxes--the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share.

corporate & Wall street accountability

Ironclad policy not to overthrow democratically elected governments or intervene anywhere on behalf of oil companies, sweatshops, or plantation owners.

A mistake we have made in recent years is focusing on cultural issues, which allowed the democrats to become nearly as pro-corporate as the GOP.

If we want to be the majority, we need to get that economic agenda front and center, and constantly remind people that the GOP gives empty symbols that cost nothing to their middle and lower class supporters, but give the cold hard cash to the wealthy.
