I woke up the other day and realized, that the American dream is dead, and had been replaced by a Plutocratic ruling class veiled in a facist corporate dystopian nightmare. Trickle down economics have only enriched billionaire bank accounts, allowing them to not pay their fair share of taxes, leaving all the weight of America on the backs of the working, middle class. 

Economic inequality is rising ever faster, wages of the bottom are stagnant, housing is becoming unaffordable. The combination of these problems is leading to wage slavery akin to being born into indentured servitude, the most effected can not even leave the United States because they are too poor.

Soon enough companies will be building housing for employees so that will be a benefit of employment, but sounds more like to me, indentured servitude. If you're living paycheck to paycheck, you're one emergency away from homelessness. This is not the American dream. 

The Constitution states, "We the people...", but laws, lawmakers and the criminal justice system serve only the wealthy. If you agree, this is getting worse by the decade, please sign! 

What we need -

To roll back trickle economic policies that give the ultra wealthy and Fortune 500 companies loopholes to avoid paying their taxes. Why should you reap the benefits of doing business in America if you don't pay a fair share? Institute a flat tax rate of 15-17%, no exemptions.

To institute a maximum wage policy, the highest earner in a company can make only 500x the lowest paid employee. This will protect the lower wage workers from the rising costs of living.
