MORNING MESSAGE Isaiah J. Poole Lifelong Wage Warrior Larry Mishel Takes On Trump’s Tax Scam Lawrence Mishel, the outgoing President of the Economic Policy Institute, is finally – after 30 years at the progressive economic research organization – seeing one of his wishes come true. Leaders in both major political parties are talking about wage stagnation, and how to address it. The bad news is the stagnant wages conversation is being co-opted by the GOPs to sell tax cuts that primarily benefit corporations and the wealthy. "Changing the economy is "a matter of organizing and policy and mobilization," says Mishel. "That work won't be easy," he says, but "the people can win."

16 December 17 PM It's Live on the HomePage Now:   Reader Supported News RSN IS A "LOUSY BUSINESS MODEL" We hear it all the time: RSN is a "Lousy Business Model." It's true and what's more, we are proud of it! What we do is not "a business model," it is a community service model, and an organizing model. That's the key: We need money, but we're not in it for the money. We did not start this as a business, we started this because we are angry about what is happening to our country, and other countries as well, and we want to do something about it.
