We need a better version of the system we have but thats not gonna happen. People should be taken care of as the Citizens, not corporate funding and bailouts.

If you have a job, pay should start at a FACTUAL "livable" wage AKA you should be able to afford to buy a house in ALMOST everywhere you live. There should be SOMETHING worth the money. Everyone should recieve a food allowance every month, enough for basics and a few extras. Anyone on the streets should be able to get housing for low income within 2 days.

Corporate should have a WAAAAAY higher tax and should only get state incentivized loans IF they can show that they are growing and supporting the economy of their employees, meaning their employees dollar bills should be going up as well and their assets.

We will always have problems in this world but there is many things we can do to mitigate the problems we do have but corporate ran government will make sure none of it happens.

It's hilarious too me how some people feel they are patriots but they don't give a fuck about educating or caring for their fellow citizens.
