In June of 1889 American steel titan Andrew Carnegie said that "the man that dies thus rich dies disgraced." On January 4th, 1914 Henry Ford more than doubled his employee pay overnight to $5.00 per day.
In May of 2026 Jeff Bezos, worth nearly $300 Billion justified why he should pay no taxes by saying, "you could double the taxes that I pay and it's not going to help that teacher in Queens."
The first two examples represent America at its best, spinning the economic engine of capitalism and putting the American people first. The latter, a parasitic and hubristic norm that the puts an elite ruling class of super wealthy in control at the expense of the rest of us that is destroying us.
But we can fight back by:
1. Unrigging the Top
2. Unleashing the Middle
3. Making American Capitalism Great Again.
Unleashing the Middle (Out Economics)
Middle-out economics is the idea that a country gets rich when its middle class is doing well. It rejects "trickle-down" economics, which claims that helping the wealthy eventually helps everyone else. Instead, it says that growth starts with regular people and moves upward.
Think of it this way: businesses only hire new workers when they have plenty of customers buying their products. When average families have more money, they spend more. That spending creates a healthy cycle of high demand and new jobs.
