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.

Human value does not equal economic value, thanks @AndrewYang.With the freedom dividend, we'd be able to have more autonomy and choose where and how to contribute to society, whether it be a small business owner, caregiver, professional, parent, we all bring value. #EndorseUBI

pursue doesn’t equal guarantee. This would be a race to the bottom.

Spot on, Marianne. A huge mental obstacle for folks is that they are decent, optimistic people & have happiness in their lives. B/c things aren’t awful “radical change” seems like too much. The reality is tho that things can be much better & we all deserve it to be

Do you realize that the police department is basically a socialist institution? As is the fire department?
