I try to remain optimistic. I do. But increasingly I find myself absorbing just how poorly Americans treat themselves and I wonder what could possibly change us for the better?

Remind yourself that we have
chosen to live this way. And also: 90% of us are
losing ground every year. So...
- Let's break the unions.
- Restrict access to health care.
- Defend the grotesque multiples of executive pay.
- Limit parents' time with their newborns.
- Hold firm on minimum wage.
- Fund prisons rather than social programs.
Yeah, that'll work.
