Prosperity, not money [View all]

That is what Americans (and I believe most people in the world) want.

Each human being should be granted as a birthright:

clean water
fresh, nutritious food in sufficient quantity
a relevant education free of charge (all the way to PHD and beyond)
safe, comfortable living space
access to free communications with anyone else in the world at any time
equality and a just system that does not favor those with more money than you


What will the current monetary system give you?
crime
inequality
pollution (because it's cheaper to pollute than to pay to clean up your own messes)
sickness
lack of social justice


You decide.
