It's not about fixing people, it's about fixing the problems. That's so true. If we had a living wage, national health care, and realistic housing prices, things would be better. If we had a real food stamps program that actually fed people instead of supplemented other sources, things would be better. If we really listened to people and fought for the change we need to be a healthier, better America, we'd finally be on the right path.

We need to fix the problems, not the people. The people are fine--it's the problems that aren't. Homelessness, health insurance and the lack thereof, too-low wages, no union strength in too many sectors, welfare being cut to the bone and then some--all of that needs to get fixed.
