The only real government corruption is done by the corporate lobbyists. If you keep them from influencing legislation, our country would be a lot better off.In a time when the odds are against the middle class and poor, we need GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS.
1) The wealth disparity in the US Is one of the widest in the world. The child poverty rate is the worst in the developed world.
2) Lower wage jobs greatly outnumber higher wage jobs. That means millions of people have NO CHOICE but to accept shitty paying jobs. We must raise the minimum wage to a reasonable level that republicans and democrats can compromise on. Corporate profits are at an all time high and wages have remained flat in the lower classes for decades. Do you really think the private market will raise wages on its own? Get real. Think of what higher wages would do to welfare statistics like food stamps or TANF.
3) The price of pharmaceuticals and healthcare in this country is insane. There MUST be caps in place to prices. Poor people (who again are very hard pressed to find higher wage jobs) cannot afford basic cancer treatment. More socialization in our healthcare system is the ONLY way to fix this problem.
4) Our infrasture system is crumbling. Progressive taxation is the ONLY way to fix it.
Government is why these things exist.
And you want more of that ????
Are you stupid ?
Oh...sorry...I really don't believe you are stupid....you are just bought into the bullcrap like nobody else.
Lower wage jobs exist because big business can fend off competition that would allow people to go after some of their profits.
Government and big business are the same thing anymore.
All your suggestions do is continue to enslave people and cement the corporate giants in their place.
So, wise up.....
You really think that big business.....who stands to gain so much from government...is going to avoid influencing things.
That is your delusion. If I thought that the government could do this...I'd be all for amendments to allow them to do so.
