Beyond drug war, debt, and wealth concentration. To single-payer healthcare and progressive taxation. Simultaneous with the Republican-led drug war the GOP used the Senate filibuster to undemocratically severely restrict increases in the minimum wage at the federal level, and in GOP states.

Wage theft.
Return to top. ~~ Return to section.

See: Wikipedia: Wage theft. And: Wikipedia: One Fair Wage.

States with tipped workers getting the same minimum wage as everybody else still have plenty of restaurants. Restaurants can't compete based on how small their hourly wage is. Customers no longer need to pay huge tips because workers get a higher hourly wage regardless of tips. Customers can still leave tips, but don't feel extorted. Republican leaders oppose higher minimum wages (of all kinds, but especially for tipped workers) because as pointed out elsewhere on this page, a main goal of the GOP is to concentrate wealth. Besides opposing progressive cannabis laws.

From a US Bureau of Labor Statistics page is this wage info:

May 2023. Percentile wage estimates for waiters and waitresses. Includes tips.
Percentile 10% 25% 50%

(Median)

75% 90%
Hourly Wage $ 8.94 $ 11.43 $ 15.36 $ 20.00 $ 28.89
Annual Wage $ 18,600 $ 23,770 $ 31,940 $ 41,600 $ 60,100

See: Portugal. Cannabis-related links and decriminalization. See the utter failure of the US Republican-led drug war and mass incarceration: It is killing Americans at the rate of one Vietnam War every 6 months.

There were around 105,400 US drug overdose deaths in the 12-month period ending February 29, 2024, at a rate of 288 deaths per day. 314 deaths per million US population. Only around 10 to 72 total deaths per year in Portugal, a country with universal healthcare, and where all drugs have been decriminalized since 2001. See timeline table of yearly overdose deaths by European country.

USA. The sorry state of the nation.

Mar 19, 2024: Sanders, UAW president press harder for shorter workweek. Excerpt: "Today, American workers are more than 400 percent more productive than they were in the 1940s. And yet, despite this fact, millions of our people are working longer hours for lower wages," they wrote. "In fact, 28.5 million Americans now work over 60 hours a week and more than half of full-time employees work more than 40 hours a week." After adjusting for inflation, American workers make almost $50 less a week than they did 50 years ago, they said.

April 15, 2024. Biden: "If Congress enacted President Biden’s tax plan, tens of millions of workers and families would have their taxes cut, nobody making less than $400,000 would pay a penny more in taxes, and the wealthy and big corporations would finally pay their fair share—which would fully pay for the President’s tax cuts and investment agenda."

2017 US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Distribution of impact by income group.png
On average, taxpayers in the income groups highlighted in yellow will incur a net cost (shown as a positive figure as this reduces the budget deficit), due in part to reduced healthcare subsidies. Higher income taxpayers receive a benefit via tax cuts (shown as a negative number as this increases the budget deficit). The percent of taxpayers in each income group is also shown for the 2023 period. "Taxpayer" in the chart refers to a tax return, meaning it could represent one person or a married couple filing jointly, among other options. [342][343]. Commons source.

Voter suppression.

Vote out the many Republicans supporting backward cannabis laws. It is purposely made more difficult by the lack of no-excuse postal voting. Just one example of Republican voter suppression in GOP states. Such as many states in the south.

How Fox News and the Right-Wing Media Machine Made My Dad Crazy. Republicans dominate talk radio. Especially in the Republican south with its backward cannabis laws.

See Wikipedia: Conservative talk radio. A percentage of people in many states do not have access to broadband internet, and desktop or laptop computers. Cell phones are a poor substitute for many people. So they are left with Republican propaganda radio, its code-word racism, and its constant disinformation.

End the Senate filibuster.
Return to top. ~~ Return to section.

What is the filibuster? A look at the Senate’s consequential quirk and debate on its future. USA Today.

A minority of Senators (40%) should not be able to block laws supported by the majority of Americans. And rural states have even more disproportionate power. 11 Jan 2021: Mitch McConnell Told To 'Save The Damn Crocodile Tears' After Whining About Voting. "Seems @LeaderMcConnell is weak on the math skills. The Democratic half of the Senate represents 41,549,808 more Americans than the GOP half."

Cannabis would have been rescheduled long ago if not for the Republican filibuster. The War on Cannabis accelerated in the US, and that's where it will end. US Congress could legalize, reschedule, or remove cannabis from the federal schedule if the Republican filibuster were gone. Vote in US Senators who will abolish it. [351][352][353][354]. Senators Manchin or Sinema could abolish it now.

If we had a genuine democracy, then the government would be forced to follow the wishes of the majority of Americans. A national referendum on Israel, for example, would stop its mass murder.

UN Probe Finds Israel Guilty of 'Extermination,' Torture, and Other War Crimes in Gaza. [355][356].

Biden on Trump: “No one is above the Law;” Except for Israel’s Netanyahu.

It also defines: "Complicity in genocide." See: Nearly All 600,000 Kids in Rafah 'Injured, Sick, Malnourished,' Says UNICEF. And: UN Food Chief Says Northern Gaza Suffering 'Full-Blown Famine'.

But Congress seems to be controlled by these people: Popular Christian Zionist leader John Hagee is no friend to Israel. "The head of the largest Christian Zionist organization is no friend to Israel — he wants an apocalypse there. ... For 20 years, he has built CUFI into the largest (at 8 million members), most-funded and most powerful 'pro-Israel' organization in America — dwarfing AIPAC, J Street, and others." Some of the same religious right with a history of support for the cannabis and drug wars.

Republican senator Lindsey Graham Equates Dropping Nukes on Japan With What Israel Should Do in Gaza: ‘Do Whatever You Have to Do to Survive’. "Reagan ordered a stoppage in 1982 after Israel attacked Palestinian fighters in Lebanon, a move he deployed more than once throughout the war. Ten years later, President George H.W. Bush delayed a $10 billion loan to Israel after the country pressed forward with plans to build settlements in the West Bank."

Mandatory retirement.

Institute a mandatory retirement age for US Congress members, the President, and Supreme Court judges. Put those judges on fixed terms. [357]. Mandatory retirement exists for many US judges.

• Immigration

World Population Clock: 8 Billion People (LIVE). We need more trees and less people. More oxygen, less carbon dioxide. To slow down global warming. "Assuming no net migration and unchanged mortality, a total fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman ensures a broadly stable population." - Fertility rates. OECD Data. See country graphs. Also, inflation comes from an increasing population sharing one planet's resources.

Many US Republican leaders oppose birth control and abortion rights (even early abortion). Another reason besides their backward cannabis laws to vote them out. Birth control and abortion (especially early abortion) is legal (even free) in many countries. That needs to expand further.

We need the lowest curve below, by lowering the birth rate.

Immigration.
Return to top. ~~ Return to section.

The US and Europe can't import all the overpopulation of the world. Europe, especially, is already too densely populated. US Democrats and progressives in Europe need to limit immigration, or they will lose power, and cannabis policies will stagnate under right wing rule. Taxes on the rich will be cut yet more, which by definition means middle class taxes will go up, or stay up, to pay for it. Wikipedia: List of countries and dependencies by population density.
