A New USA National Retirement, Medical and Social Security System for All Americans. Now.
"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."
-R. Buckminster Fuller
Tired of all those 3-card Monte* games they want us to keep playing with our money for what should be OUR BEST social security and medical care? (* Definition of three-card monte. : a gambling game in which the dealer shows three cards, shuffles them, places them face down, and invites spectators to bet they can identify the location of a particular card. ) Too many premiums, copays, deductibles, coinsurances, facility fees, annual and other deductibles, totally inadequate funds to really retire on, ignoring our disabled Americans, too many of our veterans and others living in poverty while the billionaires get tax cuts and continue reaping monopoly profits.
Not enough funds to eat and buy food, pay rent, start and raise a family, get medical services and Rx's, heat where you live, pay for transportation and utilities. 50,000 homeless Americans in southern California alone. Almost a million homeless Americans or more, many uncounted. This in 21st Century America - not the Dark Ages.
And Remember What the People we keep reelecting say: 'Social Security is not a retirement!' Fine. Let's make REAL Social Security a basic human right. By re-allocating our national and state finances and priorities. It's NOT "socialism' to demand OUR money be allocated and spent on OUR demands, our needs. OUR budgets, state and federal and local - not theirs. OUR plan for OUR society, OUR demands for a better, fair and just society. For real social security. For all. Instead of Congress and state legislators who waste the trillions of $$$ we are commanded to send them every year with no say.
America has the resources if we insist/demand they be spent WISELY on what we want, need and demand.
And more revenues can be obtained by finally taxing the robots who have replaced human labor: FICA and Medicare and other payroll taxes on them too. And on foreign labor which has replaced millions of Americans' jobs. And user fees on foreign nations dependent on US taxpayers - our 'World Cop' services -to pay for their defense. Plenty of sources to REALLY make America and Americans - espec. the little guys - GREAT AGAIN. Just ADAPT to the realities of the 21st Century in which human labor in the USA is less valued, overtaxed, ignored and replaced by robots and offshore (and some onshore) peasants. NOT a good national economic policy, and partly to blame for our HUGE national debt.
How hard is this? Hard, impossible if Americans continue sitting on their hands and butts. Doing nothing. Easy if you find out who the Do-Nothings we keep reelecting are and demand what is best for us, not them, and throwing them out of office when they fail us. Again. Veterans, the elderly, disabled, our children, parents, grandparents, 'Generations Z or X, (really)', Millenials, the 'Greatest Generation,' 'Babyboomers' -ALL of us.
NOW is the time to build and to demand a new, comprehensive, US National Retirement and Medical Security System (NRMS). For All Americans. We can keep calling these systems "Social Security" and "Medicare" but we know they are sorely lacking, do not work well even for those they were created for, and need fixing, improvements to make them better for all of us. Me? I like to call the new 'model' the US National Retirement and Medical Security System - a good name for a new, comprehensive system to improve the lives of ALL Americans in the 21st Century. -"Uncle Al" www.socialsecurityparty.org
