But We’re Too Poor – Economic Fairness Versus Economic Inequality, In America, In The 21st Century




We’d like to buy more more health supplements, & be healthier –

But, “We’re too poor.”

We’d like to spend more time with Family & Friends, & have more “me-time,” but We have to work –

‘Cause “We’re too poor.”

We’d like to start our own businesses, or get high-grade skill educations to move ourselves up the economic ladder –

But we are too poor.

I hope other countries have solutions – because unchecked – unregulated – Greed does not seem to be sharing the wealth among all laborors according to their fruits of their labors.

Fix it – make it right.

This is America. Let’s lead by example & set an example of economic fairness, of inclusiveness & generosity & compassion, & leave behind these ruinous oligarchic tendencies.

Fair minimum wages in the richest country on Earth; shared profits where everyone shares the workload; health coverage for all conditions, for all people – because no one’s 40th car is worth more than 4,000 kids’ life-saving strep throat treatments; free – or at least not profit-centered – college teaching of knowledge & skill; this is how we flourish as a nation: this is how we create a quality of Life & a national happiness index that sets the right examples in the world – a world that looks to us, oftentimes.

Let’s fight for everybody, & get these things done with teeth, with as full of concentration as we can leverage, & let’s start walking this path, as our friends following the Nordic model of government do, toward happierness, toward higher quality of Life, & toward fairness.

Thank You.
