What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

Democracy is for those who can afford to pay on Facebook

Facebook only allows you to “boost” your posts and pages if you pay them but they don’t tolerate digital leafleting; repeatedly sharing posts which they can’t profit from.


This is capitalist “democracy” in its finest and most hypocritical form: pay to participate.


To the millionaires and billionaires even democracy becomes a commodity to be bought and sold in the monopoly manipulated and controlled “free” market.
