A teacher’s perspective: Firing Day at a Charter School

[TBF]

38. I know you said all that -

and that is fine but it doesn't answer the question of how we get there and REMAIN there with capital pushing back. And push back it does - in the form of electing folks who will limit how much others can acquire. If we had gotten to such a beautiful place in the 60s/70s why did folks not guard that - why in the world did they decide electing Ronald Reagan was the way to keep economic equality in place? I would argue that "leveling the playing field" is impossible when accumulation of vast amounts of personal and private property are allowed/encouraged. Regarding property, I would advocate ownership of a moderate amount of personal property as opposed to private property.

I know many on this website would love to bring back the glory days of the democratic party but when you look at it in the course of history we had roughly 50 years where there was something like a democracy with more opportunity (well, unless you were female or a minority, not quite as much opportunity there - and that discrepancy in pay exists today) ... and leaders in this country shut it down pretty quickly when they tired of it. I'm not sure that is the blueprint we should use moving forward.
