(27,985 posts)I want a nation in which children, the elderly, the infirm and those who struggle with poverty are assisted by the government. I want us, as a nation to care about one another, such that a person being hungry or homeless is seen as unacceptable and that our government as well as each individual chooses to help those in need.
I want America to stop being a foreign aggressor and with the United Nations, devote a much smaller amount of our GDP to helping other nations in need, rather than fueling the military industrial complex. Homeland security would be replaced by the Dept. of Peace.
I want unions to be strong or even better, unnecessary and I want those who have more than they could ever want for to give back what they don't need to those who do.
I want us to have universal health care and universal public education.
I want a nation that values its nurses, firefighters and teachers and finds CEOs who do nothing but amass money to be contemptible.
I want, just once, to find that there are some people who are more liberal than I am.
