Quote of the Day | March 27, 2019

“Putting more [money] in the hand of the working poor stimulates the entire economy from the bottom up. People who say small businesses will suffer are wrong. Increased purchasing power of their own workers and all other workers will actually result in a much more prosperous environment in which their small business will benefit disproportionately.”
