Michael Bennet on Welfare & Poverty

Democratic Presidential Challenger; CO Senator

 


Everybody should have a share in our prosperity

We have had 40 years of no economic mobility in the United States, 90% of the American people have not shared in the economic growth. For them those periods of growth has acted as a recession. They can't afford the basic components of the middle class life. If you're poor in this country, your chances of getting into the middle class are lower today than they've been in generations. That is tearing at our democracy. What we need is a country where everybody has a share in our prosperity.
