[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 2350416, member: 56035"] looks like the green party understands theres more choices than just capitalism and state socialism: " [LIST] [*]That leaves only 1% of the wealth for the bottom 50%. [*]The bottom 25% had zero wealth and are $13,000 in debt on average. [*]Twelve percent of families were, on average, $32,000 in debt. ...For a male without a college degree and not in a labor union, real wages today are 11% lower than they were in 1979. All workers have seen stagnant wages for three and a half decades. ...Advance workers’ rights to form unions, [B]achieve workplace democracy[/B], and keep a fair share of the wealth they create. [/LIST] ...We also know that a fair minimum wage is not sufficient, we seek to build wealth from the bottom up by supporting[B] worker-ownership[/B], encouraging development small businesses, [B]putting in place worker-profit sharing plans and worker and community cooperatives[/B]. People and communities need to be building wealth. The already super-wealthy should not be the only ones benefitting from economic growth. [/QUOTE]
