Commie Americans Want Health Care, Decent Wages
Martin Luther King Jr. went to Memphis to ask that the striking garbage workers, and other Americans, should have
decent wages, fair working conditions, livable housing, old age security, health and welfare measures, conditions in which families can grow, have education for their children and respect in the community.
For this, they called him a communist. He was shot the next day.
Imagine asking for those things now—decency, fairness, affordable housing, health care and education, a fully-funded Social Security system. Jesus would approve that list.
Today they call you a woke socialist, or maybe a trans communist, or an anti-American libtard tyrant, or even a domestic terrorist.
We need, and deserve, universal health care, progressive taxation, affordable higher education, and the “conditions in which families can grow.” It’s not communism. It’s not un-American. It’s a pro-social, practical investment in our entire nation, like what works in every other developed economy in the world.
Instead of $1+ billion a day bombing Iran, we could fund daycare. It’s our right to live better than this.

Cost per day of Iran war:

Note this is a very conservative estimate, early days of the bombing were thought to cost $2 billion each, and many sources now estimate ongoing costs at over $1 billion per day.
