(136 posts)not only is the word " liberal " finding more appeal as it frames changing attitudes towards social and economic issues, but perhaps the word socialist will also find new appeal as the need for all of us to work together to build a country that benefits everyone, not just a few at the top.
Bottom up socialism, rebuilding the economic orientation, providing for the basic needs of all the people in all critical areas. Addressing the needs of infrastructure, transportation, protecting the environment, etc.
Since the realization of the spread and depth of the " great recession " and that there has been a fundamental change in people's economic safety net, the gap between the haves and the have nots has grown and the gap has been filled by a group of had at one time, would like to have but never will.
All of this situation can be attributed to the greed of a few which has been accomplished through their political team the Republican party and their conservative/tea party agenda all to serve the top 1-2% of the population.
