My fellow Americans, let us reach across the isle on all issues that determine our collective economic and social health and well-being to truly create a nation that works for all.
The inevitable burdens that must be borne to do the great work of restoring and maintaining our American Dream must be borne equally, not disproportionately piled onto the backs of those least able to bear the weight.
I would quote Jared Bernstein, Joseph Biden’s chief economic advisor, who wrote in the book “Crunch”: “We have the tools to treat our cancerous inequities: our minds, our spirits, our sense of community, our concern and love for our children and those of others, our votes. Let’s use these tools wisely. Let’s use them now.”
To resist will only add to the struggle to change and improve our lives. Here is a great quote by R. Buckminster Fuller: “In order to change something, don’t struggle to change the existing model – create a new model and make the old one obsolete.”
Read the book ‘The Next Evolution’ by Jack Reed, with forward by Neale Donald Walsch and see how this new model can be created. This is conscious evolution, for the highest good of all.
Have faith in us, that we all have a common goal: To live a life of freedom without ridicule of stature, of race, of religion, of belief that by individually helping others will, in the end, be for the good of all.
My fellow Americans, let us create an economy based on peaceful co-existence on this planet and convert the massive war machine and unsustainable gas economy into an economy based on building the best sustainable energy technologies the world has ever seen. Let’s get Boeing to make fast trains instead of fighter planes and tobacco farmers to grow hemp instead of tobacco. The shift has begun!
This truly will be a revolution by and for the American public–they will demand fresh, local produce and find alternatives to over-processed, imported food grown with toxic pesticides and fertilizers. When a thousand farmers’ markets bloom, we will have sustainable agriculture and a secure future.
The purpose of our economy shall be to serve society; to serve all people, rather than to create a class system with elites with so much wealth, so much power, that they then control the systems of government to skew the rules even more to their favor, and to the detriment of true competition and democracy.
Plant an edible garden and start enjoying the satisfaction that comes from growing our own food, learning nature’s ways, saving money, helping the environment, feeling healthy & calmer, etc.
Local investment in an evolving green economy — with its environmental and economic benefits — is so badly needed and so badly overdue.
Nice write up…usually I never reply to these thing but this time I will,Thanks for the great info.
