WHOSE JOB IS IT?
Why are we here, and what can we do about it? Good questions and these questions do have an answer. Now if you ever believed anything you had better believe you will not hear our system give you the answers I am about to give you. I say this because what I am going to tell you does not require some top heavy, resource guzzling bureaucracy prospering at your expense.
Health care is eroding, retirement funds are terminating, Social Security will not even support your eating expenses, gas prices are climbing, our schools are in chaos, and Government ethics are exposed as being of the lowest order. We have thirty-five million Americans at, or below the poverty level, and American children are starving to death. Our historical approach has been to throw money at this, and hope it will go away. If your nation does not value you, it comes to pass you do not value yourself. We take this in stride as if we are marionettes waiting for our strings to be yanked. When anyone says we should do something about it, we bow our heads and mumble, "You can't fight big government or big business." This then is a portrait of where we are, and I will clarify why by simply stating, "You cannot pay somebody else to be responsible for your life." Let us face facts, only martyrs and saints put others benefits before their own needs and both of these designations are in short supply.
Now, let us suppose you will give me the above points, but you ask, "Okay this is true, however, what do you think we can do about it?" Thank you, I was hoping you would ask. Let me begin by stating an obvious, starting point, answer, "We are each one responsible for the world we inhabit." What this implies I will clarify by saying, "It is your job." You, and your family's future is your responsibility, and any other path will lead right back to the situation where we currently find ourselves. If you truly want a workable solution then read on. I warn you I am going to say some very controversial things, and you must get through these things, intact, before you will be handed a solution, so simple and logical you will be amazed. Two-hundred, and thirty years of the S.O.S., and I submit it is time for a new paradigm. One that shall forever, care for you and your family's well-being. I will go out on a limb, and claim that what I will say is the way it should have always been, and it is time to make it that way now.
Okay, now for the controversy, "In all economic systems
