That will not happen so long as the one percent control the social-economic system.
A change so grand must take place that most people are simply too lazy to do a damn thing.
I'm not saying I don't think it's bullshit the way things are going right now, but we have to own our part of the blame seriously. What is ever to be fixed if we all sit around moaning about how things will never be fixed.
I'm working on a very very small level here by working a not so great paying job (which I love) and working my ass off. Yes, it's just one school district in all of America. It's only elementary school. But I will do everything in my power to make sure these kids get a good education and understand how important that is.
A friend of mine who owns a blueberry farm just upped her blueberry pickers to a $15 an hour minimum pay (they're paid by the basket so they can actually make more than that but not less). Yea her contribution only affects her own employees. But we have to be responsible for our own country and our own choices. People need to do their part even if all you can do is vote for the people who seem to have the best interests in mind.
Aaaaand I went off on a rant. Sorry.
