Agreed. How do we organize the economy to reflect this. 2024 our gdp was close to $30 trillion. In 2025 there was around 165 million workers and let's say a population of 350 million people. Each worker produces on average $181k of productivity. Each citizen has about $85k worth of productivity each year attributed to them. Even in today's American every citizen can afford some luxuries if productivity was more equitably shared across the country. How can we enforce this more
Limit C-suite wages to their bottom line workers including the sub contracted janitors.
All boards must have labor interests in the company represented.
Higher tax on money so it can go into subsidies for the disabled and poor.
Cancel restrictions on savings/resources money for disabled people. Have a more progressive subsidy system for the poor.
Destroy redundancy in the economy. Health care insurance, pharmaceutical companies, military spending, and education. We spend money as a society on these endeavors they should be owned and controlled by the people. We shouldn't be paying for the profit of military contractors, pharmaceuticals, Healthcare, and education. There should be budgets and it costs what it costs. Our military should also be brought back to America if we want to keep the jobs program we can defend ourselves from our own soil and excess military people can do public service work like bridges and roads. If the government spends money it should go to employing people directly not private corporate hands
Essential infrastructure including transport, housing and groceries should be handled by the community, either by workers coop or by municipality.
Agreed on that but I do think at least with the tax infrastructure/enforcement nowadays the money has to come from the fed budget as the economy is national/global.
