of us.. Cream always rises..and all the goodies are at the top...as usual....

What we need is an emergency plan for right now.., and then for the whole "machine" to be dismantled..

National healthcare is a MUST.. As citizens of this country, we are entitled to share the wealth.. The resources that are part of this country should not be "owned" by a few rich men, only to be "sold" to the highest bidder.

There is a basic standard of living that ALL citizens should be privy to..

1. The ability to see a doctor when you are sick
2. The right to a job so you can support yourself & your family
3. Affordable and accessible utilities..power/heat/water
4. The right to be educated to the highest level YOU can achieve
5. A dignified old age..

I am sure that there are more that would be nice, but those are the bare necessities .. Do they cost money?? Yep.. Does the richest nation on earth have the ability to provide those things? yep..

There is NO reason on earth for the richest 5% to continue to amass wealth , as the poorest of us get poorer and sicker.

European countries are managing with far fewer resources, and yet we can't seem to figure it out??

No one is saying that pure socialism is the answer.. There just needs to be a BASIC foundation that no one goes below..

It demeans ALL of us, when some of us are mistreated..
