“America is not going to win if we give in to those who think that we can only respond to our challenges with the same tired, old tune — just hand out more tax cuts to folks who don’t need them and weren’t even asking for them, let companies do whatever they want, hope that prosperity somehow trickles down on everybody else’s head. It doesn’t work. It didn’t work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depression. It’s not what led to the incredible post-war boom in the ‘50s and the ‘60s. It didn’t work when we tried it under the previous President, and it’s not going to work now.” by
