The core political issue is developing the economic structure for a fair distribution — NOT equal distribution — of the wealth produced by the efforts — physical and mental — of working men and women. It has become obvious that current market "forces" do not distribute wealth fairly.
Let's face it, a fair distribution would provide jobs for all able-bodied adult workers and a living wage for the bottom rung of the labor ladder.
AND a living wage would provide for the basic needs of the family: food, shelter, clothing, education, healthcare.
This should be the primary plank the platform of a political party looking out for workers' interests.
AND — IMHO — neither the Democratic Party nor the labor unions in these Unted States of America adequately represent the interests of the workers on this core political issue.
