$15/hr minimum wage, UBI, free college, canceling college loan debt & Medicare For All: they’re not government handouts; they’re economic justice. It’s government’s job to provide the average person with a fair shot at making it in what has become an economically merciless world.

America was never ever about the government giving us anything except to leave us alone to live the way we want with out a king / queen ruling over us. We were never ever to be taxes. We earned and invested our own money and used it as we saw fit.

The government has cause a lot of those "economic injustices." My field of work has been relatively untouched and I do very well for myself.

And stop incentivizing people to stay home to collect more unemployment, rather than make a value-added contribution to society. Get back to work with a decent wage!
Replying to @marwilliamson
Amen.

Which of these priorities has the best chance to actually happen?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Why just a fair shot? Why don’t we provide everyone with housing, food, water, education? We have the resources. Why do some people deserve to starve?

And that is why I love you and your motives. And where you come from. Light!

What! live in a society rather than an economy? What a crazy, radical idea. Next you’ll be suggesting a doctrine of loving and caring for your neighbours. Bonkers.
