Reply #58: Krugman demonstrates a profound misunderstanding of progressives

[Hello_Kitty]

Yes, we want to help the poor. But we have a fundamental belief that a strong middle class is essential to a healthy and functioning society. A strong tide that lifts all boats. This bill does little to nothing to stem the billions of dollars being funneled from the middle class to the wealthy and, in fact, entrenches the very industry that does that to them. It does nothing to strengthen the middle class, as Krugman's own chart demonstrates.
