“We rank 27th in the world in childhood education and last in the world for pre-school education. We also rank 27th in the world in healthcare and lack of access to it. We spend more per person on healthcare than any other industrialized country on earth and still millions do not have access to affordable healthcare.
We have the most expensive and lowest quality daycare/pre-school system in the world.
Americans can pay up to 67 more times for a drug than the next closest country. On average America pays four times more for prescription drugs than the rest of the world. Over the last eight years the combined profit of pharmaceutical companies was $744 billion.
So what makes America the greatest country on earth? Freedom? There are 100 countries in the world who have freedom.
The simple, honest answer to the question of whether America is the greatest country on earth is no.
That doesn’t mean we can’t once again become the greatest country on earth. We must take on the greed of the elites that run this country. We must remove the billionaires and their money from our political system.
We must move to a not-for-profit healthcare system where heath care is a fundamental human right.
There is a true class war brewing in this country that we must address before it spills into the streets.
On one end there is a movement behind Bernie Sanders and on the other is what got Donald Trump elected. The common denominator is that people are fed up with the establishment choking us in the name of greed. I hope we can make the transformational reform needed to give the treasure of this nation back to the people where it belongs.”
