Biggest threat to wealthy is exposing worth is a malleable human invention
@Teri_Kanefield nails it—democracy vs hierarchy
Declaration of Independence’s equal worth clashes with our innate differences

To what extent does worth lie in our humane treatment of others?
In our abilities, activities in context of others?
In our accumulation of wealth through our exchanges?
Worth & worthiness & our tenuous clutching to our own value frames freedom & humane choices or lack of them.

What’s likely driving the fervor to restart the economy at the expense of others lives is a fear that the longer we continue relying on essential workers previously labeled “menial” & “low value” we openly expose the lie that wealth is worth.
That we afford what we value.
That we afford what we value.
Fragility of worth is in our beliefs about innate value of each of us
Equality v hierarchy never has been a debate about sameness.
In context of society, #RuleOfLaw & democracy, one party has embraced inhumanity to the determinant of our constitutional republic flourishing

Brilliance of @ewarren’s wealth tax is in its harmlessness to the wealthy it taxes.
She doesn’t have to say they‘re unfairly siphoning wealth at cost of livable compensation & prosperity of the majority.
Her plans fix it & corruption ie how they‘re so wealthy #WarrenDemocrat

Self interest isn’t flawed, cruelty to maximize one’s wealth or to leverage power is.

What’s less obvious is the spectrum of political thought applies to worthiness & equity.
We all grapple with worth in questioning/answering why live. It’s a place of fear & anxiety & why, though harmless, the super wealthy fear a wealth tax & why they pursue maximizing wealth

We’re a country who foundation is democracy & whose history‘s hierarchy
Structurally, corruption undermines democracy as we’ve aimed to end racism, sexism, misogyny, patriarchy. Corruption maintains hierarchy
Power through wealth to restrict voting & favor who gets wealthier

Politics in the USA breaks down to three sides Left & Right & Center— democracy v hierarchy, where all GOP are Right & is for hierarchy & all for democracy are Left
Center or moderates are either GOP or Democrat & minimally lean towards hierarchy & are skeptical about fairness
Center or moderates are either GOP or Democrat & minimally lean towards hierarchy & are skeptical about fairness
Moderates who are GOP are ok with limiting rights or with voter suppression tactics
Moderates who are Democrat might be uncomfortable with women’s autonomy or LGBTQ but are for full access to citizens voting or like wealth privilege
Billionaires are at best moderate democrats

For Democracy to thrive & fairness in our economy:
require some industries be non-profit (+fully transparent & which limit CEO + executive pay & pay labor well)
Healthcare, pharmaceuticals, prison/jails & parole, care facilities for elderly/disabled, news
No profit, well paid

Public or non-profit if transparent with well compensated staff with maximums for top salaries can both serve public & be funded by state, Fed taxes &/or donation
Flexibility allows local specificity & diverse specialization =better outcomes
Eg Education & health+other care

The big lie exposed by #COVID19 is that economy is driven by the wealthiest so Wall Street thriving reflects strength of the economy.
#EssentialWorkers are #EssentialNotExpendable & without consumers with the funds to consume, the economy dies.

Re fairness— @Teri_Kanefield just posted a thread that has me reconsidering GOP prospective
Hierarchy v democracy is about POV re fairness & what’s just. GOP have the bullying model, where power is taken by those able & they become victims when thwarted

💡 GOP are bullies—why victimhood is so natural.
Akin to might is right as weaker men would see it. Power belongs to those who are able to seize it & keep it.
GOP POV = male dominance & control—breeds corruption as #QuidProQuo is how pecking order is made—Hierarchy = fairness

To GOP equality is imposed & unfair hence #RuleOfLaw should be thwarted or corrupted to favor the able/wealthy & connected.
🤔 hierarchy’s anti-Jesus’s teachings, cruelty v love. Meek are weak, not inheritors. It’s biblical—GOP souls are satan’s, bought & paid for—evil=soulless

Democracy is about whether fairness is rooted in love & kindness.
Think back to the golden calf—worshippers weren’t evil, they were cowards driven by fear aka as bullies.
GOP are right about natural in that democracy must be taught, nurtured & cared for to thrive, like a garden

Democracy thriving requires equal worthiness. Worth not in abilities or might, but god-given, innate
For freedom, purpose must be self determined, pursuit of happiness as everyone’s choice
GOP are akin to toddlers who take what they want cause they can & cry if it’s taken away

#womeninleadership is the pathway to ending sexism/patriarchy & how democracy thrives.
Women know how to handle toddlers & bullies
Humility v arrogance = truth v lies to be strong & leadership by enabling others v shutting out expertise as if it diminishes you.
