Elizabeth Warren: Shared prosperity is required for growth

Warren reminded her audience that in the postwar era we had both growth and equity, and we could have it again. Indeed, she said, not only is broadly shared prosperity consistent with growth but it is required for growth. The idea that economic justice must be sacrificed for growth, she added, “doesn’t just come from Republicans. A lot of Democrats seem to have floated along with the idea that economic growth is in direct opposition to the well being of America’s working families, and that we have to choose one or the other. That claim is flatly wrong.”

Same poster supported a committee headed up by Rep Michael Conaway to attack a progressive yesterday. Transparency is beautiful.
