Let's Keep Talking Liberal!

In reality, I despise labels that have been in vogue lately. Liberal, Progressive, Conservative, Socialist, Independent and any other labels that people try and place on each other. I think of Independent, for example, and wonder if I am brainwashed because I don't have an "Independent" affiliation. Now, anybody that knows me, realizes that I am quite free with my thought processes and will look at different points of view, and then I set about to explain to them  the correct point of view. That is what I am going to do today. Yesterday I stated, and by the way this phrase is a quote from Eric Cantor in his high school yearbook, I want what I want and I want it now.

From my point of view, this is what I want and I believe most Americans want the same things. Universal health care, we need to take the insurance companies profits out of the equation. Investments in our education system, we are mortgaging our future, when we cut back on teaching our citizens. Political Campaign finance reform, allow only public money and limit how much they can spend on their campaigns, this will help to eliminate the corruption in our system. Flat income tax rates for all Americans and corporations, with no deductions or subsidies. CEO's of publicly traded corporations must have limits on the amount they can make per year. The stockholders, have to be able to vote directly on upper managements compensation. Workers get to share in the profits. If profits increase by 10% employees paychecks increase by 10% or more based on their performance. We will start now and move forward at an extremely fast pace to rebuild our infrastructure. This will add good paying jobs and put people back to work. We will move forward and connect our nation with the latest and best high speed rail system, and built  connection hubs for people to move all around the country quickly and more efficiently. We will shift the trillions of dollars that the financial system stole from the American people and rebuild their 401k's and pay their mortgages down so nobody is underwater in their homes. We will renegotiate all trade agreements and if, there are any, that does not support the American workers and farmers, we will change them. We will not allow countries like China and Brazil to manipulate tariffs or currency.

This is the tip of the iceberg as to the demands that have to be brought forward to change our great nation back to a country that is really for the people. No longer can we support the unfair suppression by the top 1%. I agree with the 99% that is currently stationed on Wall Street. This can not be a nation, of the 1%, for the 1% and by the 1%. These are my ideas. You are welcome to comment and express you ideas also. Just remember what I said about the correct point of view.
