Musings of a madman-

The following is just my observation of what could be:

America a kinder country, How could that happen?
I would propose to start by ending all wars of aggression and profit ( Imperialism )
I would propose an end to the 40 hr work week geared down to 20 hr. (opening many more positions )
I would propose 15.00 dollar min wage ( To increase buying power of workers)
I would propose Universal health care (to remove the health care burden from employers )
I would propose Open education for all ( to advance the education of all for life )
I would propose Training in all trades available to those that desire work. (To offer choices of career)

What would this take ?
An end of corporate greed
An end of profit motivated politicians
An end of of predatory banking practices
A real desire to build america rather than steal from its people

This seems so obvious to me that i feel I must be mad as nobody else seems to see what I see on any side of this, I am Glad I'm old and can say what I want as nobody give a crap anyway about what a crazy old Man Thinks, But i will say this is not impossible it will just take people to stand UP against the P.T.B.
