  1. I’m totally serious when I say that we have the potential to rally 95% of the country behind a plan that would give them FREE health care...let’s say on the order...at least...of what Iraqis had prior to our putting them out of business.  Plus, we could motivate them by giving (most of) them a tax break in the near future.  Who would pay for it?  People should know that there’s plenty of money to be had by tapping into the wealth of all of those people/sources that paid zero tax last year and for years going way into the past.  Just have them all pay double of what they paid last time out.  And force the top 2% of the population to pay twice what they paid last time out.  The money is there.  The potential for rallying is there.  OUR CHALLENGE IS TO FIND A WAY TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE KINDS OF THINGS SETH IS ADDRESSING HERE PLUS.  How to do that?  You are going to have to FORCE the public to pay attention to what you have to say.  To do so, you’re going to have to spend way less time paying attention to mainstream sources of news...and FORCING others to do the same.  Contrary to what many believe, that “forcing syndrome” was what revolutionaries in this country had to fall back on when they helped give birth to this White Man’s Paradise.  Red, Black and Brown brothers --in my plan-- along with select groups of poor whites should be given special consideration in the above proposal.  Good fortune in organizing in small cells, O’Xman.  P.S. Merci, Seth, for the inspiration plus.

  2. Richard,
    Greetings.  I appreciate your thoughts on my article about the inequality in U.S. health care.  The class coalition that would back a radical change is, as you write, enormous.  Social education is key.  On that note, Vicente Navarro continues to educate me.  See why in his “Inequalities Are Unhealthy” at http://www.monthlyreview.org/0604navarro.htm
    Solidarity,
    Seth
