The Giving America Fund

"Anything we can actually do, we can afford." — John Maynard Keynes

One of the most persistent dissonances of modern American life is reading headlines regularly declaring record stock market highs, strong GDP growth, and eye-popping corporate earnings, all as life for the everyday American becomes increasingly unaffordable, constricted, and socially and economically precarious.

This is neither reasonable nor inevitable. It is fundamentally unfair. It is a product of structural decisions about who deserves the fruit of our shared labor — not the people, but wealthy investors. America's economic prosperity should not be so divorced from the prosperity and well-being of the average American.
