This document says:

"The paper has six sections. In the next section
we set the stage by describing important changes
in the structure of the U.S. economy over the past
30 years. In the third section we show that the role
of the government has not adjusted in response to
these shifts. Even our broad brush review reveals
that protection for workers is inadequate and not
comprehensive, that corporations are overburdened
with the provision of services that should be a social
responsibility, and that the system, is not on sound
fiscal footing. In the fourth section we propose
a new “social safety net” with universal health
insurance and childcare, a strengthened educational
system, and a broadened unemployment insurance
program. In the fifth section we explore plans for
raising the revenue needed for a new social safety
net. We conclude with a discussion of the broader
implications of our proposal and a plan for future
research."

Whereas, the National Council on Welfare report (from Ottawa, earlier 
this year) said that respondents first priority was a Guaranteed 
as-of-right Citizen's Income.

For any progress, some-ones, some-wheres have got to define the income 
ratio they would find acceptable:

- 3:1, 1:1, 4000:1, whatever

- and then build the entire economic system around that objective

- ie not try to horse-shoe a size 50 problem (capitalism) into a size 10 
world.

So - you vote - income ratio you would find acceptable:

- 3:1, 1:1, 4000:1 or another of your choosing.

Just say it!

Love

john
