Healing America – Implementing a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG), Basic Health Insurance and Fundamental Human Rights in the United States of America
This ebook may not meet accessibility standards and may not be fully compatible with assistive technologies.
Let’s be clear. The most important economic and political issues facing this country are the extraordinary levels of income and wealth inequality, the rapidly growing concentration of ownership, the long-term decline of the American middle class and the regression into oligarchy and kleptocracy.
We know how important these issues are because our ruling class works overtime to prevent them from being seriously discussed. They are barely mentioned in the halls of Congress, where most members are dependent on the campaign contributions of the wealthy and their Super Pacs. They are not much discussed in the corporate media, in which a handful of conglomerates determine what we see, hear and discuss.
Today we have more concentration of ownership than at any time in modern history. In sector after sector a handful of giant corporations control what is produced and how much we pay for it. Unbelievably, just three Wall Street firms (Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street) control assets of over $20tn and are the major stockholders in 96% of S&P 500 companies.
In terms of media, some eight multinational media conglomerates control what we see, hear and read.
In terms of political power the situation is the same. A small number of billionaires and CEOs, through their Super Pacs, dark money and campaign contributions, play a huge role in determining who gets elected and who gets defeated. There are now an increasing number of campaigns in which Super Pacs actually spend more money on campaigns than the candidates, who become the puppets to their big money puppeteers.
In the Democratic primaries, billionaires spent tens of millions to defeat candidates who were standing up for working families.
Martin Luther King was right when he said: “We must recognize that we can’t solve our problems until there is a redistribution of economic and political power.”
Let us have the courage to stand together and fight back against corporate greed. Let us fight back against massive income and wealth inequality.
Let us stand together and create a world that works for all, not just the 1%.
Let us manifest an Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) in the world.
Love and Light. God Bless. 🇺🇸⚖️
LEADER OF THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY - LEADER OF AMERICA 🇺🇸🇺🇳

IPAIn today's world, governmental blocking of a basic income guarantee perpetuates master-slave moralities. “The Ethics and Economics of the Basic Income Guarantee” A Universal Basic Income is a monthly payment that is made unconditionally by the government.PS: It's not that I'm against capitalism. But to manifest true Freedom and Happiness in America we need a Universal Basic Income (UBI). America is affluent and economically evolved enough to implement it. So let's do it! God Bless, Mark LEADER OF AMERICANB: Even eagles need a push! On that note we order all party whips in the US Congress - Tom Emmer, Katherine Clark, Mike Johnson, Steve Scalise, Bernie, Kamala, Barack, John Barrasso, Dick Durbin and Chuck - to get everybody in line to implement a UBI.To end homelessness and poverty - and improve Healing, Health, Happiness and Harmony a UBI must be implemented - which can also be quite easily financed in the Global Community - as explained by Karl Widerquist's "Universal Basic Income".Only 10% of Americans are wealthy and can afford to pay their bills. What about the other 90% of Americans who are unable to make ends meet? Far too few Americans have the opportunity to find fulfilling work.Hence an Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) must be implemented in America.🇺🇸⚖️ Love and Light God Bless LEADER OF AMERICA 🇺🇸⚖️
