A Basic Standard of Living. [View all]

[WinstonSmith00]

We are born into this world as human beings with certain inalienable rights. Among these are the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Those on the right fight for the right to life but it seems they only care about life while it is in the womb. The day that baby is born poor pull yourself up by your boot straps to bad you were not born to better parents or better life circumstance thus is competition work harder.

Those on the right promote death and war as a normal state of being. Humanity was not meant for war.

The earth could be our garden of eden but we must first accept eachother as equals as brothers and sisters one big family with many ideas and view points but one people one planet one life.

A basic standard of living would help ensure life. What does one need to live, shelter, food, clean water, electricity, health care, and a living wage and or guaranteed income.

Liberty, is forgotten in America. Those on the right believe when you go to work you are there slave you are on their time and you lose your right to free speech free expression and free thinking. This is wrong. No matter where I go i have my right to express myself and my ideas. It is my time and you as the employer are meerly paying me for my time and my production.

Its time the workers started asking for more. The billionaires got their billions off our backs. For it is the workers that truly create the wealth of this nation, but it is the owners that take it all.

We have a shortage of jobs in this country. Of good jobs with guaranteed retirement a good wage and all the perks. We could double the work force if we all work less and get paid more. With automation and robotics and AI its only a matter of time. To work 20 hrs per week but get paid more than you do now. Plus you have a basic standard of living a guaranteed home and all the basic necessities pay wouldnt be as much of an issue.

The pursuit of happiness. Imagine all the great art, music, ideas, creativity, books, engineering, lost in war, poverty, depression, drug use, the basic struggle to survive. We have the means to take away this basic struggle of meerly surviving hand to mouth. We have the capability to allow every life to pursue its happiness. We need to change our mind set. It will never happen in a world of competition violence and war, but removing the basic struggle of being one paycheck away from being homeless, going without food or water, or heat or light or access to basic information and education removing that struggle and guaranteeing every living soul the right to life liberty happiness property education and the pursuit of their dreams would truly lead us to the promise land.

End War! Stop killing eachother and start healing eachother! One love!
