People have to decide to want another, better country.

The country we have is a political decision. It is what the nation has decided. To change it is a political decision. People have to decide to want another, better country.

We can end unemployment. It's a political decision.
We can end rabid income inequality. It's a political decision.
We can end wealth inequality. It's a political decision.
We can end income class immobility. It's a political decision.
We can have universal health care. It's a political decision.

We have the country we deserve. You Boomers set out to change the world. You did. And the Earth. All for you. You built it. Now you don't even have the gumption to face the people that you ignored while handing it over to them.

Heckuva job.
