172. It's not about 'more money'

It's about shifting power back into the hands of the people. Whichever group controls the economy, the 1% or the 99%, holds the power.

When the Oligarchy control the economy, they buy politicians. When they own politicians, they can buy elections. When they buy politicians, things like civil and voter rights are eroded so they can maintain their grip on power. They do so via things like poll taxes and stripping voter rights from key Democratic constituents, like African Americans. We are seeing this happening how. When they have the money, our civil rights are eroded period. The only way to get those rights back is to shift power back into the hands of the people.

There is no country on earth without economic justice that has strong civil rights. Not a single one. The United States is no exception. That is because money = power.

Try as you may, you cannot separate the two issues. They go hand in hand. They are not mutually exclusive. They are not diametrically opposed. They cannot be decoupled.
