We need an economy
that supports democracy.
Cap‘talism in-ate-ly
brings wealth in-e-qual-i-ty…
through its work-place hier-ar-chy
EM-ploy-ER over employEE.
What we need is work-er owned
co-OP‘ra-tives be-cause they’re known
for workplace de-moc-ra-cy,
to build wealth equal-i-ty!
Ex-ploit-ing work-ers must stop now
No work-er should be a cash cow!
Lo-cal banks… publicly owned
are needed to issue loans
Work-ers can then buy comp’nies
to be their own em-ploy-ees.
This is being done else-where.
Americans deserve it here!
