Joe needs to come out for 1 bold transformative plan to improve the lives of The American People …….I am not saying he should embrace all of Bernie's agenda … He should have his own agenda . How about 1 bold plan and make it the North Star of his campaign .. People want hope and inspiration …..

middleclass. That is how it was. My parent's family is a prime example. My parents were dirt poor, me and my siblings were raised dirt poor. Now my family range from middleclass to wealthy, because of the opportunities that democratic administrations afforded us.
