Some people seem to think that were we to help people thrive, it would destroy the economy. THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE. Helping all people thrive is the key to creating the most abundant economy possible. We need an economic paradigm shift.

To get there, we'll have to burn down the two-party system so something better can rise from the ashes. We need a new social contract, by the people, for the people. End poverty, end mass incarceration, end the endless wars. We can do it in 2020 if we unionize the electorate.

You’re right. The elite knows that. But they want us to believe in their narrative. Why? Because it suits them more to keep us enslaved. Free people, prosperous people, resourceful people, people who have faith in infinite potential wouldn’t settle for crumbs.

The idea that helping more people to thrive is good for the economy should not be such a novel or revolutionary idea... alas, it is.

If everybody in America was white, we'd have had national healthcare, universal basic income, and free public college for decades. "Some people" oppose having *their* hard-earned tax dollars going to support "those people." America's Original Sin infects everything.

Completely agree. The extremes of wealth and poverty are well past their use by date. There is nothing preventing us having a huge thriving, stabl middle class with a social conscience and respect for nature except our choice. We chose the world we make.
