Informed Citizens
Background Overview
The Middle Class is being Left Behind
The share of US income going to the middle class has declined over the past forty years. Without that decline, middle class taxpayers would have significantly higher incomes today
A Declining Trust in Government
Unkept promises and government doing nothing to stop the middle class from being left behind are leading to a declining trust in government
Our Challenge
A middle class being left behind and a declining trust in government are resulting in social unrest and political divisiveness that is threatening our democracy, free market economy, and society
Our Opportunity
Informed citizens can overcome America's challenges and create a government that represents everyone, an economy that works for everyone, and a society that respects everyone
