The best way to enrich 99% of Americans is to pursue free market policies as opposed to government control. The whole experience of the world over the past century shows this. And an even more important question is why would we want an economy that grows faster and gets even larger than it is today, if 99% of that new wealth goes to the top 1%? Now I see the envy class warfare crap you've been sold has made you AGAINST economic growth per se, simply because of an ignorant belief only "the rich" will benefit. Congrats, you'll like socialism - it'll make people more equal in poverty.

What exactly do they find so objectionable about providing a better life for 99% of Americans? The fact that its an irrelevant fantasy in terms of the ideas your talking about, and in fact the reality is closer to the opposite. And an even more important question is why would we want an economy that grows faster and gets even larger than it is today same response And I'd better not hear that it'll trickle down, because 30 years of testing that theory has proven it absolutely false. Nonsense
