Heck, they say, scarcity is GOOD for us. It makes the strongest rise to the top in some perverted Darwinian sense.

But imagine if we had stronger unions, single payer healthcare, free tuition at state colleges and universities, rock-solid social security and a minimum wage where our working poor wouldn't need to continue living in poverty. People would be SO much less stressed.

That's why I'm supporting a certain 'fringe' candidate for the presidency. That's his platform.
