Most of us know what we don’t like or see as wrong, but what we lack is leaders with a vision on how to fix or support new policies. So far, only the Bern man has the whole platform consisting of climate change, wage inequity, universal healthcare, fair pensions, Social Security, union support, free education, fixing inequality, housing for all, fixing the damage caused by the Trump administration and many concerns.
Adding to this list should be a universal basic income for all; state banks in the states that want them; legalization of drugs with addiction treatment instead of prisons; end the private prison industry; fix the immigration mess; implement a legislation mandating corporations pay for the use of our Commons; reform and reinvest in our public education and allow parents to pay for private or charter schools if they want their children to attend such schools; cut defense spending and use that money toward infrastructure improvement to create employment opportunities for our ex-service members while making our bridges, roads, rail, airports safer and invest in green energy, among others.
We need more doctors, dentists, psychologists and addiction specialists, among others. The war industry could work on space travel, improving the world we already live on, but all of this will not happen if the power stays in the hands of a few very rich people who just want more money and power. The Have Littles must rethink their ideology and start voting for themselves and their families and the candidates who represents those things they hold dear and not for a party affiliation. The working class citizens need to understand and accept the fact that they are never going to be part of the country club elites. Don’t forget where you come from, it wasn’t from the lap of luxury.
If there aren’t any leaders suitable, then become one yourself and pull the rest of your unions up with you, and that includes ensuring your union members are educated about labor laws and regulations and all things unions, and never stop working for a better wages, pensions, healthcare and a safe working environment.
Life is very simple, you need a little luck and then make more good decisions than bad ones. If you are or have made more bad decisions, then step back and rethink your choices, such as your voting and your ideologies. And work to get the most out of every day, and try to do some good for your family and the community where you live.
We all should strive for the 5 Gs: good health, good jobs, good schools, good families, and good neighborhoods. Then become a leader or support a leader who has your best interest at heart and pay attention so that leader doesn’t stray from their commitment to their constituents.
It’s time to pick a side. You want to have and keep unions with good wages and pensions, then it’s time to pick a side. You want to keep Social Security for yourself and family, it is time to pick a side. You want to get or keep Medicare and Obama’s Affordable Care Act, then it’s time to pick a side. It is us against the billionaires. The very rich got that way off the backs of workers, and now want to strip everything away from those workers. It’s time to pick a side. The very rich can buy countries, then make the people get on their hands and knees and grovel and beg for scrapes that usually go into the dumpster. It’s time to pick a side. Is this what we want for our family and our future? It’s time to pick a side. Get ready to fight for you and your families’ lives. There is no middle ground with these greedy people for they want it all—all the money—all the power—all the land so where does this leave us when they have all the commons, like water, land and airways? It’s time to pick...
