Voice of Truth - Yes, the three-fold plan you quote is exactly what should be done. Everyone should be guaranteed those 3 things in a decent, modern society:

one: universal national health care
two: affordable housing
three: (which I feel is the most pressing of all) a LIVING minimum wage.

If they were, you would see an absolute transformation for the better and a tremendous drop in crime and other social problems.

Interestingly enough, those three things are among what the Cubans have tried to do ever since their revolution...and they've partially succeeded...but they've been terribly hampered by being subjected to a crippling economic blockade by the Superpower. Relatively speaking, they still have great poverty compared to us (although not such great material disparity), but they do have the national health care, they do have affordable housing, they do have a totally free and universal educational system right through university, and they do have a very high national rating in public health...plus the poverty they have is considerably less severe than is the case in other Latin American countries in that same region...countries which have not been embargoed or penalized by the Superpower.

Damn good job, considering the blockade.

It is because they wouldn't play in the big western hemisphere "money game" which is run by the Superpower that they were blockaded in the first place. It was all about money.

It's always all about money. Money, as I've said, is the ruling "god" of this system. We live and die by it and for it...simply because we have unwittingly consented to.
