America is a completely different country than Cuban. If we have a God inspired, virtuous leader who promotes and implements gradual socialistic change to merge dichotomies it will bring people together.
Merge dichotomies? What could that possibly mean?
We can't live under the dollar,
And that?
and many people are repressed, sick, poverty stricken, and dieing because of the fact that America allows money to reign over compassion.
Capitalism has given this country one of the highest standards of living in the world - why don't you go to Zimbabwe and check out how life is like under socialism?
10$ per hour minimum wage is respectable and should not put all out of work.
It'll make tens of thousands of people lose their jobs, especially minorities and young people.
And unemployed should get a certain wage as well, or a temporary subsititute for money so that they can survive until they get jobs.
The country can't afford to issue blank checks forever - at some point, a person has to take responsibilty for himself, instead of living off the taxes of others.
Homeless shelters, especially in the city, should be drastically improved, and rehab should be provided for those with mental illness or drug addiction. Insurance should be affordable for he who gets paid minimum wage, considering all other expenses. We must take the worst case scenario, and change our domestic policy until these people are accounted for, for this is what equity demands.
Better would be to elimnate the cause of these problems.
Our country must lead by example, and thus far we have failed to do so, for the system has become a barrier to justice, equality and liberty, all of which can not be enforced.
Our country has been led by example for justice, equality and liberty for 232 years.
