Interesting piece of propaganda with quotes Alinsky never said.

On Health care: The United States spends about twice as much per person on healthcare as most other developed countries, yet we receive far worse standards of care. Even our life expectancies are dropping measurably.
On Poverty: Until the 1970s, everybody's income grew at roughly the same rate. There was, and always will be, a gap between middle-income folks and the very rich. But the gap now is wider than it's been since the Great Depression. Progressive politics aims to provide the tools people need to lift themselves out of poverty.
Conservative politics provides nothing but empty platitudes about the "American Dream" and "rugged self-determination," and has all the while continued to pull the rug out from under Middle America.
On Debt: The US national debt passed $22 trillion on February 11, the first time the federal debt had breached that threshold.
The landmark came just over two years after President Donald Trump, who once promised to eliminate the federal debt in eight years, took over the Oval Office.
On Gun Control: Try to understand that common sense gun control is something we need. No one really needs high powered guns. The founders never envisioned the kinds of weapons we see today in the hands of individual citizens.
On Welfare: "Safety net" spending (which excludes healthcare and Social Security) represents only 10 percent of the federal budget.
On Education: Federal spending on education has remained virtually flat since 1976. Education is locally controlled, not controlled by the federal government. If you look at the states that do the least, they are also the worst in terms of education levels of their students.
On Religion: There is no evidence that religious people of any stripe are more moral than non-believers. Conservative states in America enjoy vastly higher rates of murder, robbery, arson, and assorted other crimes when compared with "blue" and "purple" states.
On Class Warfare: We need to hold corporations and the wealthy accountable.
