Where is green in this world
This about elections this year and in future. Where are the active green politics forums and sites and people on the internet
Question
Is volunteering to campaign on any level of politics worth it
When do people usually start volunteering at national level and is it even worth it
Some random ideas of things that should be (which candidates or people anywhere come closest to this)
Tax the wealthy
Much much more taxes (and other things) on rich, top 10%
Lower everything else for the poor (everyone else the bottom 90%(
Well being first and for everyone
Get rid of lots of things in this world and have well-being centers built everywhere and for everyone
The well-being centers everywhere would be like national healthcare other countries have, but a whole lot better
More flowers everywhere
- Increase all environmental stuff and protection, lower all corporate greed
Fix education
- Change education system and centralize teaching of better teachers
Fix government
- Increase people's personal data protection and privacy and hire better people in all parts of gov
Require everyone to learn and be taught to be kind
- That relates to education and everything else also
Can't think of anything else for now
I do not know which political people or parties anywhere would fit closest to this
If the corporations still controls everything, I don't think volunteering at any level of politics would make much difference
