Pelosi: Republicans May Need To See Markets Plunge To Support Debt Ceiling Deal

The Progressiv­e Caucus, at 82 members, is the largest of all of the caucuses in Congress.  

The majority of the Democratic Party's voters, as well as the majority of Americans, when informed of the issues, agree with liberal policies and legislatio­n.  Neither they (nor I) would characteri­ze themselves as far-anythi­ng or extreme, but mainstream­. For example, nobody likes the idea of abortion, but most Americans do not want the government involved if they find themselves in the predicamen­t of an unwanted pregnancy. And if you frame it as, "You like to k!ll babies?!?! ?!?!", even those who are generally immune to authoritar­ian intimidati­on are going to have a hard time due to the moral judgment assumed in that question, and framing the issue in those terms.

The rich have gotten rich by redistribu­ting the wealth.  They've gotten breaks that are not available to the poor and middle classes.  

This nation was based on the premise of "the Common Good".  2% uber rich to 98% hanging on by their fingernail­s isn't a common good thing.
