Over half a million homeless people in America is not a cause, it’s a symptom. A nation’s economy should to the best of our ability set everyone up to win. Yet ours does not. Those who hold the major levers of power don’t even think that would be a good idea. 1/3

From refusing to tax the very richest to corporate subsidies to absurd military budget, our biggest problem isn’t economic but moral: a willingness to see massive human suffering as an acceptable result of our economy’s driving impulse to give more to those who already have. 2/3

It's both economic and immoral. Capitalism leads to monopolies & imperialism everytime.
