Sorry if I misunderstood your position. I get tired of folks who sit around waiting to be saved. Personally, I'm doing my damnedest to rectify the
problems, calling my Congresscritters several times a week to bring issues to their attention, or to protest the travesties they create. I'm also
trying my best to get a dialogue started to cap wealth for Americans at $1 billion, mandatory economic retirement at that point, since there is no
need, other than ego, for accumulating any further wealth, and no benefit for society.
I am writing a book, "Transforming America, Policies in Search of a Party", that lays out positive steps to transform the country, including:
1. Changing the budget process to allow taxpayers to allocate their taxes among the programs and branches of government.
2. Changing the voting process to allow more time (30 day voting period) for better participation and allow voters to actually get to research the
candidates better.
3. Restructuring Congress to be more representative by adding two chambers to the House: the current House would be the Business chamber, as it is
mainly populated by business types, the new Chambers would be dedicated to science, engineering, and environmental issues in one and health,
education, and societal issues in the other, each populated with Representatives with backgriounds in those fields rather than business and legal
types.
4. Capping wealth at one billion dollars, creating safe mechanisms to draw down that excessive wealth.
So yes, I'm actively trying my best to help with concrete solutions.
