In the richest country in the world, the majority of people should not be struggling to get by. In the 1970s the average worker had decent benefits, could afford a house, a car, a yearly vacation, and to send their kids to school. Our current system is predicated on a majority of people living their lives in order to serve an economic system, when the purpose of an economic system is to serve the people. This is unsustainable, and it will not last. This fundamental collective injustice represents a reign of economic tyranny, contrary not only to the tenets of democracy but to the basic decency of the American people. The political establishment works hard to pull the wool over peoples eyes, acting as though the whole thing is far more complicated than it actually is. It’s time to pierce the illusion , vote for an Economic Bill of Rights, and break the invisible shackles that bind far too many people and keeps democracy in chains. #marianne2024 #anewbeginning cbsnews.com/news/inflation-h…
