(54,770 posts)We need comprehensive change that puts government more in charge of a lot of things to prepare us for the future, rather than greedy corporations.
We need to move more toward a system like Denmark where everyone is -- and is content with being -- in the same boat.
I'm not talking about giving something up with nothing in return.
I mean as far as I'm concerned they can arrange housing, food, medical care, internet access, etc., and cut my SS to zero.
We need systematic change and to get there, you can't say SS -- or the military industrial complex for that matter -- is off the table. If they leave my SS as is, but do nothing to ensure they young have access to jobs, my SS will always be in jeopardy because everything is at risk if the economy does not improve (or change in a fundamental way).
