Real change will only occur from the grass roots, from we the people. Something has got to give. An honest day's work should be paid an honest day's wage - enough to live and dream and save money and build a better life!
On the issue of how it might or might not be involved with the democratic party. My two cents is that it should develop a base that retains credibility and optimism. And that it put up candidates in the democratic party, who are less tools of big corporations and more representative of the people.
I know it's a tough road. But we need this to put the country in a better direction, where we care for our brothers and sisters and we share the wealth more equally.
