don’t we want security in our national economy, too? the Depression era lack of regulation upended our economy – regulation secured it.

let’s not throw our fate to the wind, & ‘let the chips fall where they may’ when it comes to supplying everyone’s much-needed resources —

think of what a livable income, respectable shelter, healthy food & drink, safe & respectable transportation, high-quality education, safe & effective medical care, & good work mean to you —

what would you do without the money to pay for a home, or the openings to get employment?

should those be left to completely unmoderated, “free market forces”? — in our own time, millions of people lost their homes & their jobs, due to a handful of powerful corporate lobbyists de-regulating recklessly, eliminating key consumer protections that were like keystones for our economy;

we got greedy, & things gave out.

that’s why i’m saying we should insure economic security in our own time — as real a security as homelessness or not being able to put food on the table — & give up the ghost on “trickle down” economics, & hang back on “free market” economics — ‘let the chips fall where they may’ is a horrible, horrible strategy when it comes to supplying everyone’s much-needed resources – turn us all into beggars for our money, shelter, food & drink, transportation, education, healthcare, & work . . .

& anyway: why are we all living on a budget, anyway, when the top 1% & those securing the almost infinitely secure 1% are directing 95% of the gains to those who need it least?

according to a Center On Budget & Policy Priorities report, the top earning 1% – those already making the disproportionate average income of $346,600  – saw their average incomes go up by $973,100, from 1979 to 2007 —

in stark contrast, sort of “everybody else:” the bottom earning 80% of America, went from the low average income of $37,025 per household, up a paltry $10,150.

once you understand this, it goes beyond question that we must temper the excesses of capitalism; be it put on a pedestal by some or not —

that is because it makes absolutely a dime worth of sense to have a community system in place – a government run economic system – which awards 89/90ths of precious resources to those already walking bowlegged from their overstuffed pockets, while those suffering the myriad effects of poverty – loss of life, reduction in quality of life thru health & education deficiencies — get the richman’s dime in their cup to ease their suffering —

screw this.

screw you fat cats’ greed.

America will not tolerate Greed sucking the lifeblood from the majority of its citizens like vampires;

America will not tolerate the top 1% taking 89/90ths the fruits of all of our labors, & telling us you earned it.

senators & congressmen, presidents: please correct this gross excess of capitalism legislatively, decisively; actually.

those taking the fruits of the working man’s labors for yourselves: you’ll be hearing from me. in fact, you’ll be hearing from the whole lot of us.

i consider this the start of a fairer America, Day 1.

everybody else: spread the word on income inequality, read to your heart’s content; let’s make this gross injustice right.

Thanks For Reading.
