No Soup For You

I think the citizenry need to rise up and demand certain basic truths be codified into law and better yet into the constitution itself. The first big lie is that somehow “liberty” equates to letting centi-billionaires takeover the universe. The MUST be a wealth cap put on these super wealthy creatures that have ended America. A “New America” MUST recognize one of the functions of democracy is to limit personal wealth to something at least approaching reason. The second big lie is that somehow for-profit private companies are cheaper and better than non-profit governmental entities. Health, education, infrastructure, environmental regulation….all of these MUST be governmental functions providing for all citizens. And finally, the role of democracy must be understood as one of limiting individual power while maximizing collective wellbeing. If we cannot enlighten our citizens so that they take charge then we are doomed to be a fascist kleptocracy and our children and their children have no future.
