Hiki i ʻekolu haneli miliona ʻAmelika ke mālama i ka hoʻokele waiwai a me ka ʻāina

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Marcus Tullius Cicero ka mea akeakamai Roma a me ka mokuʻāina: "ʻO ke kūʻokoʻa ke komo ʻana i ka mana." ʻAʻole manuahi ka poʻe ʻAmelika. ʻAʻole mākou e komo i ka mana. ʻAʻole loaʻa iā mākou ka mana ma luna o ko mākou mau ola waiwai ponoʻī, ʻaʻole kā mākou "nā lunamakaʻāinana" i koho ʻia iā mākou a hoʻolohe i nā pono kālā e hoʻouna ana i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ke ala hewa ma hope o ka hoʻopuka.  ʻOi aku ka ʻike o ka poʻe ʻAmelika, e hoʻokele maikaʻi a pono e komo i ka mana.

Ke nānā ʻole ʻoe i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka hoʻokele waiwai o US, he kūlana kaumaha ia o nā hihia e hoʻōho nei i nā ʻAmelika e ala aʻe, e kū a hoʻōho: "hiki iā mākou ke hana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka poʻe kālai'āina a me ka hoʻokele waiwai." Eia ka manawa e kū ai: ʻOkakopa2011.org.

Ke nānā nei kēia ʻatikala i nā kulekele kūloko e luku nei i ka ʻoihana ikaika loa i ka mōʻaukala, akā ʻo ka hoʻolilo kaua, ʻo ia ka mea i ʻoi aku ma mua o ka hapalua o nā hoʻolimalima federal discretionary, ʻo ia kekahi o nā kumu kumu o ka hāʻule ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai. ʻO ka Nobel Prize-winning economist, Ua kākau ʻo Joseph Stiglitz: "I kēia lā, ke kau nei ʻo ʻAmelika i ka nele i ka hana a me ka hemahema. ʻO nā mea hoʻoweliweli ʻelua i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ʻAmelika hiki ke ʻike ʻia i nā kaua ma Afghanistan a me Iraq. ʻO ia a Ua helu ʻo Linda Bilmes i nā koina kaua o ʻAmelika ʻekolu makahiki i hala aku nei conservative ma $3 trillion a $5 trillion - ua piʻi kēia mau kumukūʻai mai ia manawa.

ʻIke ʻia ka hana ʻino ʻole o ke aupuni ma ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana o ʻAmelika. ʻAʻole nā ​​kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o ka nele i ka hana; ʻEhā mau makahiki o ka loaʻa paʻa ʻana a me ka emi ʻana o ka ʻāpana o ka waiwai nui o ka home e hele ana i nā limahana he mau ʻano lōʻihi; ʻO ka palupalu o nā kālā pilikino o nā kānaka, ka hoʻopaʻa paʻa ʻana, ka ʻaiʻē nui o nā haumāna a me ka nele o ka mālama ʻana i ko mākou ola waiwai e hōʻike ana i ka pono o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka hoʻokele waiwai i kahi hoʻokele democratized hou.

Ke piʻi mau nei ka nele i ka hana. ʻOkoke 31% o nā limahana US ʻike i ka hana ʻole a i ʻole ka hana ʻole i kekahi manawa i ka makahiki 2009. ʻAʻole ʻo Pelekikena Obama i hoʻopuka i kahi papahana hana maoli ma mua o ka makemake e hoʻopili i nā ʻauhau ʻauhau ʻoihana - he mea i hōʻoia ʻia. hoʻonā ʻole i kēia manawa ka hopena ʻaʻohe ulu hana. ʻO ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa loa i ka nele i ka hana ʻole no ka mea, ua hoʻohana ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he mea hana kālaiʻāina a ua hoʻololi ʻia i nā makahiki, e laʻa i ka makahiki 1994 ua kāpae ke aupuni i ka helu ʻana i nā limahana nāwaliwali i haʻalele i ka ʻimi ʻana i ka hana. I ka manawa a kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe ʻAʻole "ʻaʻole i loko o ka poʻe hana" ka nui o nā ʻAmelika "he hopena koʻikoʻi kēia manipulation o ka ʻikepili. ʻO kahi loiloi apolitical o ka nele i ka hana, e helu ana i ka huina o ka poʻe i nele i ka hana, e loaʻa i kahi helu hana ʻole o kēia manawa he 22.5%, kahi mooolelo manawa a pau ʻO ka huina o 34 miliona mau kānaka e pono nei i ka hana.

Nui nā hiʻohiʻona o ke kiʻekiʻe o ka nele i ka hana, ka liʻiliʻi o ka hana a me ka haʻalele ʻana o ka poʻe mai ka mākeke hana, akā ʻo kahi mea i loaʻa i koʻu manaʻo i kēia manawa he hōʻike mai. ka Bureau of Labor Statistics, e hōʻike ana he 51% o nā ʻōpio ʻaʻole hana:

"I Iulai, ʻo ka ratio o ka poʻe ʻōpio-ʻo ka hapa o ka 16- a hiki i ka 24-makahiki civili nonstitutional heluna kanaka i hoʻohana ʻia-he 48.8 pakeneka, he haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa no ka moʻo… (ʻO ka mahina o Iulai ka manawa maʻamau ke kauwela. kiʻekiʻe ma ka hana ʻōpio.)

He kanalimakūmākahi pākēneka o ka poʻe ʻōpio nele i ka hana a ʻoi aku ka poʻe i nele i ka hana he kūlana weliweli loa ia no ka poʻe limahana e hiki mai ana i ka wā e haʻalele ai nā haumāna i ke kula ma nui ka aie ma mua o ka wā ma mua. He mea hou hōʻike ʻia e Moody's Analytics loaa moolelo ʻaiʻē e nā haumāna kulanui ka poe e puka ana me ka hana ole. Ma kahi hoʻokele waiwai i loaʻa i ka poʻe ka mana e ʻike mākou i ka hoʻonaʻauao kula manuahi ma mua o ka ʻoki ʻana i nā Pell Grants a me ka piʻi wikiwiki ʻana o nā haʻawina ma nā kula mokuʻāina.

In he hoike no ka la hana, Ke hōʻike nei ka Economic Policy Institute e waiho ana ka nele i ka hana ʻole i ka wā lōʻihi i nā ʻohana a me nā kaiāulu. ʻAʻole i kaupalena ʻia ka ʻeha i hana ʻia e ka poʻe hana ʻole i kēia manawa akā ua hoʻonui ʻia i ka poʻe limahana ākea a me ka ʻāina ma ke ʻano ma o ka nalowale o ka uku, ka loaʻa kālā a me ka waiwai, a me ka ʻilihune kiʻekiʻe.

E like me kekahi laʻana o nā mea he nui, ma Kaleponi hoʻokahi o ʻehā ʻohana i pilikia i ka hānai ʻana i kā lākou mau keiki, ʻoiaʻiʻo, 68.6% o nā haumāna ma nā kula ma Fresno County a me 65.6% ma Los Angeles County i hiki ke loaʻa i nā meaʻai manuahi a hoʻemi ʻia paha i ka makahiki 2010. Nationwide, the Kula National Academy of Sciences ua hoʻopuka i kahi hōʻike i pau 52,765,000 ʻO ʻAmelika, 17.3% o ka heluna kanaka, noho ʻilihune i ka makahiki 2009. A, no nā keiki, hōʻike ka ʻikepili helu helu i ka huina o 15.5 miliona Ua noho ʻilihune nā keiki ʻAmelika i ka makahiki 2009 - 20% o nā keiki āpau. Wahi a kahi 2011 hōʻike mai ka Pūnaehana Palekana o nā Keiki, "i kēlā me kēia lā ma ʻAmelika 2,573 pēpē ua hānau ʻia i loko o ka ʻilihune. Ua piʻi aʻe kēia mau pae ʻilihune a pau i nā makahiki ʻelua i hala mai ka hōʻike Helu Helu, no laila ua hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia lākou.

ʻO ka hāʻule ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai i hopena i ka awelika o ka waiwai o ka ʻohana US ke emi nei e 28%. Hōʻike kēia i kahi poho o $27,000 no kēlā me kēia ʻohana - ma nā ʻohana e emi ana ke kālā i kēia lā ma mua o ka makahiki 1971. I kēia manawa, ma kahi o 62 miliona ʻAmelika, 20% o nā ʻohana US, ʻaʻohe a i ʻole ka waiwai ʻupena maikaʻi ʻole.  ʻOiaʻiʻo, ka hapa nui, a i ʻole 64%, ʻaʻole lawa ke kālā o ʻAmelika ma ka lima e mālama i kahi $ 1,000 koina pilikia, e like me ka National Foundation for Credit Counseling.

ʻO ʻAukake 2011 hōʻike e ka National Employment Law Project Hoʻopau nā hana i hana ʻia ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai e hōʻemi ana i ka loaʻa kālā o nā limahana: 73% o nā hana i hana ʻia mai ka wā i manaʻo ʻia ai ka hoʻomaka ʻana he mau hana haʻahaʻa, kahi e hana ai nā limahana ma waena o $7.51 (ka uku palena palena ʻāina) a me $13.52 i ka hola ($15,621 a i $28,122. makahiki no ka manawa piha). ʻO ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, ʻo 60% o nā hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma waena o nā hana ma waena o $28,142 a me $42,973 i kēlā me kēia makahiki.

ʻO kahi noʻonoʻo koʻikoʻi i ka lā Labor: ke ʻike nei mākou ka make o ka papa waena? Aia mākou i loko o ka mea a Marx i wehewehe ai i ka luku ʻana iā ia iho o ka Capitalism holomua i hoʻokele kālā? Ua emi iho ka mahele o na limahana o ka waiwai o ka hale a ua pii na loaa no ke kapikala. Ua ʻike ka papa kālā i kā lākou waiwai mai ka hōʻemi ʻana i ke kumukūʻai o ka hana.  Ua haʻi aku ʻo JPMorgan i kā lākou mea hoʻopukapuka: "ʻO ka uku hana US i kēia manawa ma kahi haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa he 50 mau makahiki e pili ana i nā kūʻai ʻoihana ʻelua a me US GDP. . . ʻO ka ho'ēmiʻana i nā uku a me nā pōmaikaʻi e wehewehe i ka hapa nui o ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka ʻupena. ʻOiaʻiʻo, e like me JPMorgan, ʻo 75% o ka hoʻonui ʻana i nā palena kālā e hoʻopili pololei me ka hōʻemi o ka uku o nā limahana.

ʻO ka makemake i ka loaʻa kālā pōkole ke hoʻokumu nei i ka emi ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai no ka mea ʻaʻole hiki i ka hana ke ʻai i ka lawa a ʻaiʻē paha e mālama i ka hoʻokele waiwai me kāna kālā a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka hōʻaiʻē. E like me David Cay Johnston "ʻAʻole hiki i kahi kumu nāwaliwali ke kākoʻo pono i kahi superstructure nui."

ʻO nā hōʻike hou aʻe o kēia pae kiʻekiʻe o ke kālā-kapita ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka hoʻohālikelike, ʻo ka ʻike o ka waiwai. ʻO ka kanaka waiwai loa 400 i ka US ka nui o ka waiwai e like me 154 miliona ʻAmelika a i ʻole 50% o ka heluna kanaka. ʻO ka 1% waiwai loa o ka heluna kanaka US i kēia manawa he moʻolelo 40% o ka waiwai a pau - ʻoi aku ka waiwai ma mua o 90% o ka heluna kanaka. Wahi a kahi noiʻi nui e ka loiloi a me ka ʻoihana aʻoaʻo kālā Deloitte, Ua loaʻa i nā ʻohana miliona miliona o ʻAmelika $ 38.6 trillion i ka waiwai hoʻohui i kahi i manaʻo ʻia $ 6.3 trillion huna ʻia ma nā moʻolelo o waho.

ʻO 74 wale nō ʻAmelika i loko o kēia elite top bracket, ʻo ka poʻe me ka loaʻa kālā makahiki he $ 50 miliona a ʻoi aku paha. ʻO ka awelika loaʻa kālā i loko o kēia māhele $ 91.2 miliona i ka makahiki 2008. Me he mea kupanaha la, i ka makahiki 2009 ua awelika $ 518.8 miliona kēlā me kēia, a i ʻole $10 miliona i kēlā me kēia pule. ʻO kēia keʻano, i ka hohonu o ka hāʻuleʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai, ua hoʻonui ka poʻe waiwai loa o 74 i kā lākou kālā ma mua o 5 manawa i ka makahiki hoʻokahi. Ua ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kālā ma mua o kēia poʻe 74 19 miliona huiia na limahana.

ʻOiaʻiʻo, i ka wā o ke emi ʻana, ua mahuahua ka poe waiwai oiai ke koena o kakou e ilihune ana. I ka makahiki 2009 wale nō, ʻo ka uku o ka poʻe ʻoi loa o ʻAmelika quintupled, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻAmelika loaʻa iā lākou iho ma nā hōʻailona meaʻai ma mua o ka wā ma mua. Ua loaʻa i nā CEO he 23% i ka makahiki i hala a ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana o nā waiwai ʻoihana i nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe aʻo ka uku liʻiliʻi he liʻiliʻi ka mana kūʻai i kēia manawa ma mua o ka makahiki 1956.

Inā mākou e noho ma ka papa o kēia manawa, ka ʻO ka waiwai i hōʻiliʻili ʻia e nā hale miliona miliona e hoʻonui ʻia ma mua o 100% i nā makahiki 9 e hiki mai ana. Mai ka huina o $92 trillion i mālama ʻia e ka mea waiwai loa o ka honua i ka makahiki 2011, ma ka makahiki 2020 e loaʻa i nā hale miliona miliona o ka honua he $202 trillion, a i ʻole he 4 mau manawa o GDP honua i kēia manawa. Inā manaʻo ʻoe he hewa ka puʻunaue waiwai i kēia manawa, inā ʻaʻole i hana ʻia nā loli nui, e ʻoi aku ka ʻino.

ʻOi aku ka waiwai o ka poʻe waiwai a ʻo ka poʻe ʻilihune e ʻilihune a nalowale ka papa waena, ʻaʻole no ka mea ʻoi aku ka naʻauao o ka poʻe waiwai a ʻoi aku ka ikaika o ka hana, akā ma muli o ke kapena crony corrupt. ʻO ka Ua hana ka poe waiwai e hoomalu i ke aupuni mai ka makahiki 1970 mai. ʻO ka hoʻolaha koho balota hou ʻana a Pelekikena Obama he hōʻailona kēia. Ke mālama nei ʻo ia i nā ʻohi kālā ma kahi āna uku $35,800 no ke komo ʻana - ʻoi aku ia ma mua o ka loaʻa kālā waena o nā limahana ʻAmelika. ʻO nā lālā he ʻumikūmālua i koho ʻia i ke komite koho hui no ka hōʻemi deficit ua loaʻa ma kahi o $64.5 miliona i nā haʻawina mai nā hui hoihoi kūikawā i nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala iho nei, me nā hui loio e hāʻawi ana ma kahi o $31.5 miliona a me nā hui ʻo Wall Street e hāʻawi ana ma kahi o $11.2 miliona. A mai ko lakou hoonohoia ana i ke komisina, ua noho lakou e ʻimi ana i nā haʻawina mai Wall Street.

Ma muli o kēia kipe i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ma ke ʻano he mau haʻawina hoʻolaha, ua kuhi ʻia nā kulekele no ka poʻe waiwai loa, kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona i waena o nā mea he nui:

• NāʻAmelikaʻo 1,470 loaʻa ma luna o $1 miliona ma 2009 a ʻaʻole i uku i kekahi ʻauhau.

Helu helu IRS Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia i kēia Mei e hōʻike ana i ka makahiki 2008, ʻo ka makahiki hope loa e loaʻa ai nā helu helu, ʻo 18.1% ka ʻauhau ma nā ʻAmelika waiwai loa 400, ʻoiai ʻo ka mea i loaʻa ka loaʻa kālā ʻauhau he $60,000 ma hope o ka unuhi ʻana a me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana e uku i 25%.

ʻAʻole pono e like me kēia. ʻAʻole pono i ka 1% waiwai nui ka mana politika ma mua o 300 miliona mau kānaka. Loaʻa i ka poʻe nā pane - inā ka manaʻo o ʻAmelika Ua hahai ʻia ka ʻāina ma ke ala kūpono i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi. Hiki iā mākou hoʻomokalaka i ka hoʻokele waiwai a hāʻawi i ka poʻe i ka mana hou aʻe i ko lākou ola ponoʻī a me ka mana ma luna o ka hoʻokele waiwai. Akā, ʻo ke kuleana o ka poʻe ke koi aku i ka poʻe kālaiʻāina e hoʻolohe iā lākou.

ʻAʻole hana hou nā mea hana maʻamau o ke koho balota a me ka lobbying. Pono nā ʻAmelika e kūkulu i kahi neʻe kūʻokoʻa a me nā media kūʻokoʻa me nā kālai'āina kūʻokoʻa e kūʻē i ka palaho hohonu i ke aupuni ʻAmelika i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka corporatism. ʻO kēlā hoʻomaka i ka lā 6 ʻOkakopa, 2011, i ka wā e hele mai ai nā ʻAmelika i Wakinekona, DC a noho i ka Freedom Plaza e kāhea i ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka corporatism a me ka militarism.

ʻO ka luku ʻana i ka hoʻokele waiwai no 98% o ʻAmelika he ʻano lōʻihi ia e hiki ai i ka poʻe ke hoʻohuli - hiki iā ʻoe ke maopopo ʻaʻole e hana ke aupuni. Aia iā mākou. I kēia lā Labor, pono nā ʻAmelika e nānā me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a hohonu i ka palaho o ke aupuni e nā poʻe elite a me ka politika. koi mākou e komo i ka mana.
