1/ It's not that we don't have enough problem-solvers in America; we do. But our govt does more to fund & advocate for problem creators than for problem-solvers. Real problem-solvers don't necessarily create short-term corporate profits; they just create a more sustainable world

2/ That's why we must passionately disavow the idea that the marketplace can solve every problem. The marketplace isn't set up that way and it shouldn't be. We shouldn't be looking for profit in order to care for our children, our sick or our aged. Some things we just do for love

3/ Which is also why we should disavow the (ridiculous) notion that our government should be run like a business. No it shouldn't. Our government should be run like a family. Care for the children (everyone's children) and the house we live in (the planet itself) must come first.

So true. But what will it take to get the greed out of government and their addiction to corporate funding? I know some people are waking up, but sometimes it feels hopeless. It would be great to see the light at the end of this existential tunnel.

Having run for prez I can tell you it won’t be easy; I spent a year in the belly of the beast myself. But it can be done! Abolition wasn’t easy, Suffrage wasn’t easy & Civil Rights movement wasn’t easy. We need to train & elect serious progressives & get the money out of politics

George Washington warned us against them in his Farewell Address. He said they'd form factions of men who cared more about their faction than about their country. He got that right...
