America's middle class is disappearing. The criminal class in Washington is bipartisan. Complicit with Wall Street and other corporate favorites, the economy was wrecked. Ordinary households were sacrificed for profit.
Capitalist excess bears full responsibility. It's too corrupted, dysfunctional, and exploitive to fix. Political criminals and corporate crooks run America. They benefit at the public's expense.
America isn't fit to live in. Change depends on dismantling it and starting over. Key is putting money power back in public hands where it belongs. Social justice depends on making banking a regulated public utility.
Banks too big to fail shouldn't exist. Insolvent ones should be shut down. Others should be broken up and regulated. Banksters profiteering from fraud should be prosecuted and imprisoned.
America's resources should be used for growth. Job creation should be prioritized. People with money spend it. Corporations and super-rich elites should bear the greatest tax burden.
Popular needs should be responsibly addressed. America's manufacturing base should be rebuilt. Neglected infrastructure rebuilding is vital.
Social Security, Medicare, Medicare, public pensions, and other vital social benefits should be protected, sustained, strengthened, and improved.
Anti-trust laws with teeth are needed. Monopolies and oligopolies should be broken up and controlled. Energy, healthcare, communications, and other vital industries should be regulated as public utilities.
