Here’s a way to save the U.S. and democracy!

Stop the source of most of our wealth inequality.

Most big businesses are now owned by the wealthy few.

Worker-owned co-ops are the key!

Co-o-op’ra-tives across the na-a-tion

will sto-op employer exploita-a-tion!

No more mega-corpora-a-tions!

Worker-owned co-ops are the way!

Currently big biz‘nesses are robbing employees.

Rich investors benefit from CEO decrees.

In worker-owned co-op‘ratives the workers are the ones

who profit from their productivity!

Co-o-op’ra-tives across the na-a-tion

will sto-op employer exploita-a-tion!

No more mega-corpora-a-tions!

Worker-owned co-ops are the way!

Cap‘talism’s model of employer-employee

gives the wealth produced by workers just like you and me

to the wealthy class, so they can become richer still!

If you’re like us, we’ve had our fill!

Co-o-op’ra-tives across the na-a-tion

will sto-op employer exploita-a-tion!

No more mega-corpora-a-tions!

Worker-owned co-ops are the way!
