The U.S. is crippled by corruption. It poisons us with grift, income inequality, and unchecked abuse of power.
While the rest of the world advances we stagnate. While other countries fight climate change and invest in sustainable energy, we deny our own people medicine, wellness and prosperity.

Once the U.S.A. roots out toxic money that blocks politicians from serving their people, then we can:
Form a broad coalition for socioeconomic improvement that’s sustainable for people and planet.
We can prioritize prosperity for people rather than ensuring profit hoarding for the few.

Wages for many workers have not kept up with inflation for decades, with real wages (adjusted for inflation) showing very little growth over the past 40–50 years.
The capital engine of our economy isn't cash, it's people.
