“America’s history is a history of that kind of productive destruction, whether it was old agricultural models, old systems of labor like slavery or indentured servitude, the old structure had to reinvent itself, a bolder more richer pursuit of our values and ideals. And we can’t let ourselves stop in the 21st Century and be stuck in models of the century before trap too many of our people below the poverty line, that trap too many of our people in prisons, that trap too many of our people in ignorance. If that is the case, our great American experiment will fail.”
Newark Mayor Cory Booker via Capital’s Gillian Reagan.
How often do you hear a politician talk like that?
