Are you fed up yet?
Do you want to send me to Washington to lobby on behalf of the working class?
Let’s talk about the politics and economics of livelihood.
All the politicians in Washington claim they are doing what they do for the workers in this country yet those of us workers who produce the wealth of this Nation now being squandered on militarism and wars along with bailing out the Wall Street banks and corporations have no voice nor seat at the table in the decision-making process... this is not democracy.
Make no mistake about this: labor with no small amount of help from Mother Nature creates all wealth.
Unemployment is headed for a forty-year high with many economists predicting unemployment levels could far surpass those levels of the Great Depression of the 1930’s as Trump tells states they should not release the data on unemployment.
On top of this, we learn this coronavirus is being used by Trump’s Attorney General as an excuse and pretense to “suspend the Constitution and Bill of Rights;” another move towards fascism rather than citizen participation in the democratic process.
Emergency measures are needed now.
Our entire health care system should be nationalized and place under public control so we can bring an end to this pandemic with the intent to create a National Public Health Care System as the final outcome... a system based on the model of public education which has served us so well: Publicly funded, publicly administered and publicly delivered.
A basic income guarantee: $2,000.00 a month for every adult and $100.00 a month for every child in the family.
Fund these emergency measures by ending these dirty imperialist wars and taxing the super-rich millionaires and billionaires.
The Wall Street banks and companies we bail out we must get equity in, and a seat at the decision-making table; or, in the alternative, these banks and monopolies must be nationalized and brought under public control.
We need a “Twenty-First Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity for All”... the president and Congress must be made legislatively responsible for attaining and maintaining full employment with real living wage jobs... a National Public Health Care System providing the American people with free health care through community and neighborhood health care centers would cost far less than what it is now costing to maintain over 850 U.S. military based on foreign soil protecting Wall Street’s investments... and, this would create over twelve-million jobs paying real living wages.
It’s time we once again begin talking about real living wages based on the actual cost-of-living so everyone in this country has a decent standard-of-living.
Had we been investing in education, science and health care (all of which create jobs) instead of militarism and these dirty imperialist wars we would not be in the mess we are in today with this corona virus pandemic and an economy on the verge of total collapse.
Working people must speak up; we must assert ourselves in defense of our health, our livelihoods and our rights.
We must insist we have a voice in the decision-making process because these Wall Street bribed politicians are never going to do what is right by us or the Nation.
We must not continue to surrender our votes getting nothing in return and we must learn to use mass struggle, in addition to our votes, to get what we want and what we are entitled to because our labor creates the wealth of the Nation... the millionaires and billionaires who have been hoarding this wealth we have created and use that wealth to control the political life of this country create diddly-squat.
Let’s talk about the politics and economics of livelihood... our health and our rights, too.
