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…

Better to look at the economy in the 80s when the whole country was flourishing. Tax rates low, wages high, homeownership vibrant, families vacationing, kids in training( schools, trades). More working less welfare.

This is nothing more than a rehash of FDR's failed Second Bill of Rights. It will be as effective as a screen door on a submarine.

An "Economic Bill of Rights" would have to include the ethics of giving as well as receiving. So many now believe they have the right to receive just by demanding. That system, too, will fail miserably and quickly.

Americans are programmed to think economic justice is communism. They think the only choice then is predatory capitalism.
