I’m
glad to see Bernie Sanders finally taking up the demand for $2,000.00 a
month after I have been bombarding his email with this for many
weeks... but Bernie Sanders has left out payments for children... I think this payment should be at least $100.00 per month for every child in the family while many people feel this should be much more.
But, why doesn’t he put some of his millions of dollars in campaign resources into mobilizing mass action on the part of the American people to demand this? It is only through mass action that we win such reforms not as a result of politicians limiting their talk to stump speeches.
I’m going to keep re-posting this from time to time because people keep asking if they can share it... you can share anything you want from my page:
Republicans and Democrats in Congress backed and bribed by Wall Street are making the decisions affecting working people and working class families without any input from us; this is in no way acceptable. We must let them know by way of asserting ourselves that this is unacceptable. As working people we are entitled to a seat at the decision-making table- this is our lives we are talking about.
It is not right or just or acceptable in any way, shape or form that only our employers have a seat at the decision-making table.
How do we get a seat at the decision-making table when we are arrogantly excluded from the process by politicians who have the unmitigated gall to help our Wall Street employers, bankers and vulture capitalists before helping those of us who create the wealth? We need to raise so much hell until we get a seat at the decision-making table.
Think about this:
Usually a government professing to be democratic will invite all concerned and affected parties to fully articulate their problems through a series of hearings held in locations convenient for many people to attend.
Conclusion:
That this has not been done because the wealthy in power would be embarrassed to hear that they have been selfishly hoarding for themselves the wealth we have created and they don’t want this very fundamental and basic injustice of the capitalist system to be exposed lest they be forced to turn this wealth over for the common good of all in order to prevent mass misery and suffering of those of us who have created this wealth.
We must never forget that it is we, the working class with no small amount of help from Mother Nature who create ALL wealth and we must constantly remind these politicians of this because they would rather all of this not be publicly discussed...
Out of sight is out of mind!
As workers we must never forget this and we must assert our views and our demands for justice...
Right now at this moment of crisis with the capitalist economic system in a state of collapse exacerbated by this coronavirus pandemic we must insist our livelihoods and our rights be protected...
First and foremost this requires every adult be provided by the government with two-thousand dollars a month and every child in the family be provided for with five-hundred dollars a month at least as long as this crisis continues... and, by rights, justice requires this be made permanent.
Let us state in no uncertain terms that we as working people bear no responsibility for the economic crisis or the coronavirus crisis since we have had no seat at the decision-making table when it comes to economic policy or health care policy and this has to change and it needs to change now in order to avoid mass suffering and despair... democracy and the most basic and fundamental rights require no less... so let’s have an end to this hypocrisy of the wealthy few making all the decisions in this country.
Any thinking person, except for the most ethically and politically corrupt, can see and understand there is something drastically wrong with denying the majority of the people- those of us who create ALL the wealth- a seat at the decision-making table.
Instead of him simply calling for this, he should be using his resources to help his supporters and everyone else set up committees in every neighborhood to mobilize the American people to demand this through:
Letter writing.
Call legislators and meet with them and candidates running.
Petitions.
Demonstrations large and small; community based, state-wide and national.
Work stoppages.
And so on.
Bring millions of people into the streets; no let up until the legislation passes.
Demanding a piece of legislation dedicated to just this one issue.
Bernie Sanders should draft this legislation and rally people behind it.
All of this should be building towards creating a huge "people's lobby" comprised of concerned citizen activists.
Anyone have other suggestions?
