Everyone Included

“Who’s going to pay for health care?” This is asked by people who don’t assume we are supposed to take care of each other, only take from each other. Everyone else knows that we can figure out a way.

The whole point to ever having developed an intellect is to leverage combined effort.
This would exclude those who hoard money and power, who should be put out to pasture or somewhere they can’t do too much harm. Some sew violence and promote hate in order to protect their shallow, material status quo from moving into a socially responsible civilization. But they need to be taken care of anyway, just like every human being.
Who’s going to pay for it? What’s the difference? We have enough food. We just need to distribute it with people in mind.

It’s a private lie that people are only inspired by greed. Most people would love to work for a transparent, socially responsible system.

But no matter how wrong they’ve been, we keep hearing cynics who despise any faith in human nature.

We keep hearing from the tongues of trickle down. People who know better aren’t heard because they aren’t saying what the corporate media wants to be heard.

To believe a person with private interests when they say that profit driven industry is more efficient than public institutions is foolish the first time.

Having better employment conditions may actually be part of the reason that the government is more efficient than private, profit driven industry.

Did you know that the post office used to perform banking services? They didn’t get rid of it because it was inefficient. It was efficient enough for the banks to have it eliminated.

The cutting off of Saturday postal service was to benefit UPS and FedEx.

Turbo tax lobbied to keep the government from doing our taxes.

Honor is not behind under funding the IRS.

It is not only stupid but immoral for the government to abandon it’s responsibility over detained human beings.

Likewise in contracting private mercenary corporations for the armed forces, which happens to have a presence in a lot of countries right now. Are we the good guys? Is that in the contracts?

When those who are promoted by private industry tell us that government is the problem, fools believe them.

Thank you for your time.
