I support Medicaid expansion." Income Inequality

Between 1993 and 2012, the top 1% captured over two-thirds of income growth; their incomes rose 86%, while the incomes of the 99% rose only 6.6%. While the Administration pushes further tax cuts for the wealthy, a recent study found that tax cuts for the wealthy offered no obvious benefit to growth or the poor."
