Workers must benefit directly from their productivity. The only meaningful and accurate measurement of the state of the economy should be the economic state of workers and working families. It is a myth and a stereotype that gay Americans are an affluent elite. The actual diversity of economic life amongst LGBT people shows in reality that LGBT workers earn no more than heterosexual workers. And, in some cases, gay men appear to earn less than comparable heterosexual men.
Countless profiteers refuse to treat workers fairly and with dignity.
Together we must challenge the backwards and harmful practices of worldwide organizations like the WTO, the IMF, and the World Bank. Up to 2.5 billion people lack adequate food, clean water, sanitation, housing, medical care, education, transportation, and energy sources. 37 million people are out of work in the industrialized countries alone.
