We are at a point in our nation's history when the right leadership is needed more than ever. Hillary has spent her life advocating for poor and working class families.

We can go back to economic plans that are only designed to benefit the wealthiest among us, like Mitt Romney.

For the workers and their families, being able to bring home a living wage helps their families and, by extension, helps our economy. Seventy percent of our economy is consumer-based.

It's a win-win for everybody: Not just for the individual, not just production at a specific company (like Nissan), but for the greater good.

Now, I don't think President Obama and Vice President Biden get the credit they deserve for saving us from the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes. Our economy is so much stronger than when they took office.
