As for the US, so for the UK since Thatcher. Neoliberalism sucks money out of circulation into offshore accounts. How cab you sell stuff to the impoverished to grow the economy?

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.
