Now is the time for the working people who are raising families, who are the drivers of the so-called capitalist system that, in turn, turns workers into slaves.
It is time for healthcare with no out of pocket expenses, child care, sick days, living wages and a four-day for week. If you think this is asking a lot, take a look at other countries. Belgium, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Lithuania, Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, United Arab Emirates, and UK all have or testing having these benefits. If we’re so great, why are we so far behind?
Greed.
The very rich corporatists call those of us who advocate for these benefits “socialists” or “dreamers” and those workers with no self-awareness or interest to look beyond the term, chime in with the name calling and go further by associating it with “communists.”
Instead of running from the word “Socialist,” we should not care about childish name calling and embrace it proudly, instead. It’s time we got half of the pie instead of the crumbs.
As Carl Jung wrote, There is no coming to consciousness without pain.”
We all need to be represented by unions even the retired. All voters should be represented by a union. Physicians and lawyers and the like have “associations,” which is a fancy word for union.
The Biden Administration is making progress, but he needs help. We have elected officials who can lead this fight, we just need them to reject corporate money and fight for the people. Embrace the fact that the filthy rich would have nothing without the workers, also because as the 99 percent we make the most purchases.
There’s a reason Nordic countries are considered the happiest. They treat their workers the best and with respect.

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...
