After France fell, Charles DeGaulle addressed the world on the BBC: ¨We have lost a battle. We have not lost the war.¨
Now I ask the world to respond to global warming, the biggest wealth concentration in human history, nuclear war and a bloated Pentagon budget. The crises we face as more menacing than what the Axis Powers presented during the Second World War. The Big Three transformed their economies to produce fighter aircraft, tanks, artillery, landing craft and everything else to bring military victory. Now humans must transform the world economically, socially and politically.
I ask President Biden to declare a climate emergency. The rich countries will establish a world-wide Green New Deal ending poverty everywhere.
Establish an Income Tax Code where the rich individuals and major corporations will pay taxes like they did when Eisenhower was president. I was a child in those days. I remember prosperous times.
The United States has 750 military bases overseas. Keep 100 and close the rest.
The United States has about 5,000 nuclear weapons. Keep 1,000 and decommission the rest.
Raise the minimum wage.
Make it easier to form unions.
