What inspiring example of activism have you encountered that aimed to level the economic playing field for everyone?

 @9JQ65GF from Alabama  answered…1yr1Y

 @9JQ5RZC from Connecticut  answered…1yr1Y

I am not entirely sure how to answer this question, but I think it is important that whoever seems the most qualified and willing to work should be hired for a job.

 @9JQ6K54Socialist from Michigan  answered…1yr1Y

A way activism has tried to level the economic playing field is boycotting Starbucks for many things one of the reasons being their history of union busting.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Imagine a system where the success of a business is measured by its social contribution; how would that influence your support for certain brands?

 @9KPDFS4 from Nebraska  answered…1yr1Y

Business is supply and demand. Leave the other stuff out of it.

 @9KPV79G from California  disagreed…1yr1Y

Ethical business practices could make the business more profitable as a return, and the return to society is most important.

Should the average citizen have more say in the workings of the economy than they currently do?

We should always get the population's opinion on every subject. One person can not decide what the masses want or need for the ecomoy.

Yes, it is important for the economy to voice their opinion. And increased participation can lead the public to more inclusive economic policies.

Is it fair to say that the wealthiest should pay higher taxes to support the poor?

 @9H7ZRJB from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9H7ZZ7N from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, as prices rise in the future the rich will simply have no problem to pay but will cause the poor to have more problems unable to keep or support anything.

 @9H82S5C from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

absolutley not taxes should be based off of a percentage of income not based on how much you earn if you have to pay a higher percentage on taxes just because you earn more money is unconstitutional and goes against what the forefathers wanted coming from a poor person.

What’s your greatest concern about the future of work in an automated world?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How does it feel when you hear about CEOs earning millions while some employees struggle to make ends meet?

 @9HJKNBQ from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

They have the right to set their own salary, but I don’t think it is moral when Jeff Bezos rakes in billions while Amazon drivers make $19 an hour.

Do you feel the political establishment has your best interests at heart, or do you think it serves the elite?

 @9H87ZKL from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

Since the political establishment is mostly made up of the elite, or those benefitted by the elite, I believe that the political establishment has its own best interests at heart and not those of the public, which includes myself.

 @9H87MDM from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

Left wing populism is something that I agree with because I feel that the people who truly run this country are not the white collar workers or the CEO's but rather the small people who have tried to make a big impact by doing things for their communities.

 @9L8PDSZ from Connecticut  answered…1yr1Y

with them being in political decisions, rules will have to be made because of them which will have to make sure it's far for both political parties.

 @9L8MGB9 from California  answered…1yr1Y

Well our policies would be much better, because I feel like opinions from the youth matter much more than people think.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

What kind of future do you hope for in regards to the balance between work and personal life?

I definitely believe there should be a balance between the two. In order for people to stay fresh for work, and sane for their families, I believe you must spend time in each of these. Having time to relax and rewind helps to refreshed you for work, as well as meeting other needs, and then working helps create determination and good work ethic outside of work.

Expectations to be working at all hours. People should be able to shut off work in off time in order to preform their best in their job.
