Universal health care: tuition free state colleges and universities (which we had until the 1960's) & tech schools; a livable wage; paid maternity & paternity leave; required sick pay and free child care are considered MODERATE POSITIONS in every advanced democracy except ours.

Problem is, about 50% of the country believes we aren’t “entitled” to have those and we should “get off our ass” and work for what we want rather than depend on big government. Real hurdle is reaching these people…but they have bought into crony capitalism propaganda.

People have been trained to expect too little. Billions have been spent on propaganda to convince us that "government of the people, by the people & for the people" - our national creed as described by Lincoln - is "socialism" or a "nanny state." But I think people are waking up

Free child care ? I dont think so. We need one parent to stay home to raise their own kids.

The early slave owners didn’t allow the slaves to be educated out of fear of revolt…
