Instead of talking about society-wide wealth inequality and all the ways the 1944 "Second Bill of Rights" addressed it, people yammer on and on about university debt cancellation, health care, rent prices, etc.

Billionaires have been feeding this avoidance with Fox News, Newsmax, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

The introduction to the January 1944 proposal was pretty damn clear about dictatorships and freedom / security being tied to economics.

Many people seem to not grasp the plain and obvious meaning of "Equality' in “All men are created equal” year 1776.

We are not all created the same gender, equal. We are not created with the same brains, equal. We do not experience the same set of experiences, even twins born nearly same time, equal. We are not the same height, beauty, voice, fingerprints.

It is equal in ability to grow money that has become a crisis in society.
