There is so much to love about being fortunate. Security, health, and choices for happiness, more than money itself can buy. We in the U.S. are fortunate in many ways. We are more diverse than most countries, a blessing and a challenge.
Political powers want us to stay separated in clans, divided and struggling to beat the “other guys”. Voters are promised anything for the results of the elected party to be in power.
The life of a country IS the of people living AS that country. Everything is supposedly constructed for their benefit and protection, right? The opposite would be a leader that prospers without regard for the well being of the citizens.
Stay with me, I want to stay on the high road.
The highest purpose of a government would be for the general well being of its citizens, assuming what I said, that the country IS the citizens. Why else would it exist? For companies, they have very different desires than actual people. A corporation doesn’t feel or have any place in civic pride.
It is a legal constructions that lives only on paper, existing only to feed on profit and influence. This prosperity is for its legal owners.
So much has been said of the needs for business to prosper for everyone to prosper. Ordinary people do not feel this promised prosperity. That is proven to be a false promise that never dies. Much is done by government to nurture and support business. Companies have grown larger and the stock market is rising as of this writing. So what? Real wages from working for a company haven’t changed, making it harder to buy the normal desires of life.
Believe politicians who speak about the things that would benefit citizens, not business, not government itself.Pandering to fear and distrust of others only has us divided, ready to fall.
