I am a socialist who believes that the wealth of this country should be distributed equally to all. I am for a system that puts people before profits. This will only happen when the vast majority of people, who create all of the wealth of this country, controls it. To do this we must build a strong and unified movement of workers and poor of all nationalities independent of the the Democrats and Republicans, the parties of the rich.

I believe that the endless war against the peoples of the world - that is, the current foreign policy of the U.S. - is designed to recolonize the globe for the benefit of a small class of billionaire bankers and big buisness owners. The wars they are waging around the globe is not in the interest of the young workers who are sent off to fight them.

Real security is when a society guarantees the right to a good paying job, free education and healthcare and affordable housing; that society is a socialist one.
