America's ideals: Lost
Things that must never be operated for profit:
1. Healthcare
2. Prisons
3. Education
These correspond exactly with:
1. Life
2. Liberty
3. Pursuit of happiness
People just don't get it. The racketeers, propagadists, robber barons, and money changers continue to profit from privatization, monetization, weaponization of these things and thus denial of our constitutional rights.
We will continue to be DENIED our human and constitutional rights unless we PARTICIPATE FULLY in our government, stop being complacent and get control of OUR government back under We the People (not just the billionaires and great corporations/robber barons/racketeers and money changers).
I believe we are where we are because people got too complacent and have become far too ignorant about government -- considering it an enemy rather than an ally and doing the work to MAKE IT AN ALLY to the majority rather than just the privileged few - that IS the definition of a constitutional democracy.
