It makes a perfect pitch for Democrats since, you know, they invented it. It's a form of bubble up economics, putting money in the hands of workers so it bubbles up and benefits our economy as a whole. Why unions are so important to our economic health..

We have slipped away from our commitment to one set of rules and it is undermining our economy and our country. We now have separate rules for corporate CEOs, hedge funds and even how the wealthy are treated by the IRS. We need to get back to one set of rules for everyone.

Slavery was a deal killer. For Capitalim to work you can’t have limited access to the market place.

It IS interesting. Sounds like we should think about our 1930's thinking. "By no means has the United States achieved equality of opportunity for all segments of our population. It took years of change in societal thinking and legislation to start to level the playing field."

Democracy is a viewed as barrier that capitalism will work to destroy so that it’s own hierarchical non-Democratic structure can exploit. It will always use ill gained profits against those that created the surplus.

Too much consumerism - facilitated by advertising and love of worldly goods. Trashing our planet.
