Running for President on $10 a Day
by Dean Adams Curtis




"DREAM SEQUENCE"
by Dean Adams Curtis, 1991

1991. On the day I turned 35, I announced my candidacy to be the Democratic Party's nominee for president. One question has since sprung forth from many, "Why?" A main plank of my platform was promotion within corporations of what I called employee democracy, that being both employee ownership and democratic employee participation in the choice of one-third of each corporation's board members. I called for democratic elections every spring for a third of the board of directors members within each publicly-traded company in the U.S. This, I proposed, would boost productivity and thus raise tremendous revenue for the Treasury from corporate taxes. 2023. Elizabeth Warren is calling for expanding employee ownership, and also for 40% of corporate directors to be democratically elected. I kept journals as I ran. I put them in a book.
