I know that America must try Democratic Socialism.
Capitalism has failed the vast majority of Americans.
Capitalism is not supposed to be a "political party" yet it is.
We can be Democrats and Socialists. That would level the playing field.
As it is, the wealthy have destroyed the chances for "the American Dream" and are purposefully crashing our economy on a regular basis.
By doing so, they ensure that unless you are wealthy, you are subservient.
Look at the prices for groceries, they have risen exponentially yet the common person earns less than ever before. All of this while America's wealth is at its peak.
Our big problem seems to be our 2 "viable political party" structure. Even most people here refuse to consider politicians unless they have a (D) behind their names. We have done this for decades and we keep getting the same result....Everything goes to the wealthy, even though most of the wealthy of both parties are the economic burden (not American job creators, especially living wage jobs).
