It's time to complete the revolution we started

This task will not be easy. Today, we have more income and wealth inequality
than at any time since the 1920s, and the three wealthiest Americans own
more wealth than the bottom half of our country.
Despite relatively low unemployment, millions of people work multiple jobs
because they earn starvation wages, 34 million Americans have no health
insurance, and we pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
Shamefully, we treat our most vulnerable people with disdain. We have the
highest rate of childhood poverty of almost any major nation and a
dysfunctional and unaffordable childcare system. While many Republicans want
to cut Social Security, about half of older Americans have no retirement
savings. | b********n
