“We are not a vital functioning democracy. We have regressed. We have reverted. We are a functioning corporate aristocracy.” Marianne Williamson

So good.

How about letting people keep their money and then they WILL take it from there.

Yes. What "helps people thrive" is a concrete demonstration of an alternative economics. What if those worth a million dollars or more got together and started a "share the wealth" program? What wait for a government that really doesn't care?

Time for trickle-up economics💥

Yes, flow up rather than trickle down.

Marianne you are right, Americans don’t know how money is created. And the system is broken for the bottom 75% of Americans. I have a good union job and in the Bay Area? That’s paychk to paychk. It’s all out of whack, taxes are too high, what can we do?

The cash infusion COVID response that many countries adopted worked. Why do you feel we didn’t do the same thing? Is it that we aren’t smart enough? I doubt it. Or is it a collective ideology in Wash. against helping poor and middle class people, fearful of socialism?

Excellent analysis. I agree 100%. And as l stated it’s not that we’re too stupid to figure it out. There’s an ideological rift between our leaders in wash. Mostly fear based, but also legitimate expert based disagreements on how to solve issues. One only needs to pay att. To JD.

To see the rift. And the reaction to movements on the left, ie. #ForceTheVote to figure out that they resist change for, you guest it, $, power. Etc. it’s almost passé to mention. Right?
