Wealth of Our Nation is Us

The source of all wealth is labor and if our labor leaders use our labor the right way we can make large wins, like a four-day work week with full pay and all the benefits; and a UBI for those who fall through the cracks. This is the way we rebuild the country and the democracy and the working class, which will be a good middle class. We need to look at what is most important for the 99 percent, and pay attention to what we can do. Yes, there are other important things that we need to keep fighting for, such as climate change, the U.S. Supreme Court and cases before this corporate-owned majority, such as labor rights, voting rights, and women’s right to choose. To change this we must elect a president who will appoint law abiding people to the courts. Most of these concerns are long-range goals that we must continue to work on. For now, let’s work on what we can do to educate and encourage all labor people to vote for their own and their family’s best interests, and our unions. We must put aside some of the issues that are just not that important at this time, and go for the important things that will lift up all working people for we are the true wealth of this nation and the world. Your boss may own the clock, but you still own the hours and how you spend them, and how much you get paid for those hours of your life. It is up to you. Remember when the hour is gone it is one hour of your life you will never get back.
