The American people have been trained over the last few decades to expect too little. Universal healthcare & easy access to higher education is what the citizens in a prosperous society should expect and do expect in other countries. It’s part of our “right to pursue happiness.”

The reason we don’t have universal healthcare or free higher education is so the marketplace can continue to rule. But that’s economically self-defeating for the country. When people are healthier & more educated, they’re more productive and by definition add more to the economy.

I expect a sovereign nation. I expect a strong military to maintain national security. I expect laws to be passed and followed. I expect foreigners to respect our borders and immigration laws. I expect cities to obey federal law. I expect to work hard to obtain benefits US offers

We have the right to Life and Liberty. We have a right to PURSUE happiness, not to be given to.

Pay no mind to the haters. We need Universal healthcare. I'm sick of seeing the results that For-Profit healthcare inflicts on society. I'm sick of having car washes, bake sales and go fund me pages whenever my friends are seriously ill.

We're asleep ... We've been hypnotized to act like a flock of sheep ... we need people like you to wake us up ... like you woke me up!
