Platform
Platform is about a humane, democratic process for egalitarian social change in America.
Democratic Egalitarianism is a belief in human equality and opportunity especially with respect to the social, political, and economic lives of a nation’s people.
Platform points directly at a new and virulent strain of post-colonial feudalism that has evolved in our country from its inception 243 years ago. The result is a new class society — the New Feudalism — comprised of a minority class of billionaire industrialists, a lower wealthy class of multi-millionaires, and a vast and growing population of the near poor, poor, and homeless. 100 million Americans — a third of our entire population — now teeter on the brink of poverty. 40 million are impoverished and dependent on a demeaning welfare system. Up to a million more have now fallen into the ranks of the homeless. Americans are a vulnerable society slowly spiraling into poverty, taking our polluted environment with us.
