A rising tide lifts all boats

Common card · No. 276661

"A rising tide lifts all boats" is an aphorism associated with the idea that an improved economy will benefit all participants and that economic policy, particularly government economic policy, should therefore focus on broad economic efforts. The expression has also been used to highlight economic inequality, with the sentiment that the rising tide is primarily lifting expensive boats such as yachts, by politicians including former U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, former British Labour Party Leader Ed Miliband, and former New Zealand Labour Party Deputy Leader David Parker.
