Things that could change the USA and the world for the betterment of the proletarians and save the capitalist system, which is what we have to work until something better comes along, like maybe a hybrid capitalist system. Until then, this is it.
The changes for the fastest results are a minimum wage of $15 to $18 an hour, legalizing drugs and taking away the profits for the bad people and then applying a tax, which would support government and care facilities for the addicted. There are jobs in the marijuana grow industry and care businesses.
With more cash in the hands of our spenders, there will be more jobs, which will be more taxes paid and also with these changes there will be less reasons for so many prisons (the prison industry is one of the obstacles to progressive drug laws).
If we take drugs off the table, the lives of our people and families will be much better. Then there will be an incentive for getting a better education, which will make the corporations happy. For 2015, we need 1) to start with a $15 to $18 an hour minimum wage; 2) legalize drugs, which will clear out a majority of the prisons; 3) free education up to the bachelor’s degree; 4) provide trade classes starting in high school; and 5) new laws implemented to protect unions.
Happy New Year!

So, as an old sheet metal organizer, I say we need to go all out in organizing while the soldering iron is hot, to use a sheet metal workers tool. We should organize all workers no matter where or what kind of work they do. All workers have the right to belong to a union and all should support each other. If you, in your work place, do not know how to form a union, then do what Napoleon’s military adopted adage, ‘Jump into the battle and then figure it out.’ One of the best ways to organize is worker to worker and plan it out over a meal or coffee and talk to other union workers to see what would work best for you and also what unions are winning at this time. Just go for it. When things are in disarray, like the shit show in Washington, D.C., they might not even know what you are doing until it is too late for them to push back aga...
