The right-wing in the US claims to have taken over the "values" high-ground. The left has values too. A few examples that need to be on the tips of our tongues, and emblazed into peoples minds.
.
The left needs to make it clear what values we stand for. As examples:
+ Decreasing the wealth gap;
+ Health care as a right not a privilege;
+ Preservation of the commons;
+ Rights of real persons supersede rights of corporate "persons;"
+ Mass media distribution networks are public not private (electromagnetic and satellite spectra, natural monopoly cable networks)
+ Democratic freedoms and decisions supersede economic freedoms;
+ The environment and natural living resources have rights that must be protected at the constitutional level;
Add more basic "values" in the comments below.
