A shocking revelation that actually surprises nobody we have a chart showing successful business owners both out earn and are outnumbered by simple workers.The Bill of Rights that establishes once and for all that every American, regardless of his or her income in entitled to:
OMG!
- The right to a decent job that pays a living wage
- The right to quality health care
- The right to a complete education
- The right to affordable housing
- The right to a clean environment
- The right to a secure retirement
I can see why conservatives would be outraged
Impressive list from Bernie
But how can we pay for it?
In the early 80s, we made a pact with the wealthy and with business. We will take care of you and you will do what is best for the workers. They never did, they just kept the extra money. Worker pay and benefits have not increased and benefits have decreased
So let’s turn to business and make an offer they can’t refuse. You take care of your workers and offer them pay and benefits on Bernie’s list and you can keep those nice tax cuts. If not, we will repeal them and provide those benefits on your behalf
Until the money runs out and then what? Venezuela had wealth beyond compare, and socialism destroyed it. Tell us how a government, that is inherently incompetent, fairly distribute wealth? They have had multiple attempts, and every single one of them has failed.
The government does not take from the rich and give to the poor. But they examine policies and expenditures and look at who benefits and who is hurt. Supply Side policies have hurt the workers and allowed our wealthiest to claim a bigger piece of the pie
Now, why are our policies centered on helping those who do not need it?
