A Republic is ALWAYS based upon laws, and such laws are simply just agreed upon rules a civilize society abides by, to share that space, respecting each others rights, treating each other as equals to forge a common goal of progress, prosperity and harmony living in one.

USA had ALWAYS been a republic, as such rules are more commonly known as the Constitution. The experiment of USA civilization is NOT an experiment of Constitutional Republic, but one of Constitutional DEMOCRACY, whereby the majority, no matter his/her social, racial, gender, religious, difference is given the freedom to speak out.

Intelligent or otherwise, should one utters nonsense, he/she would have gotten nowhere, but when the majority speaks out, there will be a genuine concern. The derisive term of ‘mob’ you used on the civilians are more often used by the bigoted elites who presumed themselves the master race and the civilian population utterly stupid, given to base emotions and ruled by mass stupidity.

This was a social experiment introduced by the founding fathers in the era of common serfdom, where only the elites speak and the masses perform.

Americans and subsequent immigrants in the 1700s were not as stupid as the rich elites denigrated. They were religiously orthodox trained and educated, as well as immigrants that were from the European renaissance age.

The founding fathers knew all this, had faith that the political experiment would succeed and evolved into greater freedoms as knowledge, progress and prosperity grew. Thus their blood sacrifices for the generations to come.

That experiment led to evolution and revolution of political thoughts within European capitals by intellectuals. By the 1900s right till year 2000, we saw social experiments being forged – Russian and China communism, German National Socialism, Roman fascism and American capitalism.

First to fall was National Socialism and Italian fascism. Then came Russian Communism. China is anything but communism only in name. In year 2008, we saw the last of the great experiments tottering – Capitalism.

All such great experiments were thought out by noble men. And yet it was the man in charge whom turned totalitarian and destroyed it. Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao and the Feds.

Constitutional Democracy is the only political doctrine that had stood the test of time for 200+ years and will be the only viable doctrine of choice for evolution, where everyone has a voice but ruled only on the strength and wisdom of that choice by the majority, so that none gets left behind.

Selfish and incompetent folks like Bunning made used of Democracy to push totalitarian agendas upon the masses. It was Democracy that had triumph today against him and the likes of him, who are on their last legs, soon to be relics of politic doctrinal failures.

…continuation.

Now comes the hard and practical part after helping democracy win – How to ensure the less privileged are helped with such funds.

The Tribe had trusted and believed that those who are unemployed are not lazy but hard working folks whom lost their jobs, especially during this crisis. Therefore, the responsibility now lies on them to find jobs.

With the funds flowing again, take a break this weekend. If you are single, mingle with your friends; enjoy yourself, party all you want. If you have a family, go out for once with them and treat them to a nice dinner. Forget about the bills, forget about the taxes, and forget about the woes.

This is not meant to indulge you, but to serve a greater purpose, and that is to keep you motivated, and knows what you had been working so hard for, and will be working hard for once you get employed. Know full well what’s at stake. It’s your family, your relatives and friends, whom are critical to your future, as they had been in your past.

No other American who had sacrificed their hard earned money, perhaps the selfish some would begrudge you of this luxury for once.

Come Monday, do everything you can, reflect on yourself – your attitude. Your qualifications, your lowered expectations, to get a job. These are hard times, just as it had been equally hard times for the employed to sacrifice their hard earned money for you. Everyone will need to work, if not for he/she, at least even for their own next generations, whom we all connected and called a society.

Bear all insults, all disappointments; pick yourself up for the next interview. Times are bad, but no fear, there will be jobs, if not today, it will be tomorrow. Do all you can to secure any job now, and work yourself up with the right honest attitude. Employers pay you to solve their problems and needs, not hire you to please you.

The govt will do all they can to protect jobs and industries. But you must make that start in the meantime, and that is to get a job and cranking up the economy for the sake of us all. Good times and hard times will never last. It’s hard times now, but with your perseverance, it will be good times soon as you will be one less statistic on the social welfare dependent checklist, to save it for those who may not posses abilities you have.

As for Small, medium enterprises and entrepreneurs, with taxpayers funds, it will be time to be more creative with marketing, research and selling of products and services. Find a need that people will pay, a niche customer base, make use of technology to increase productivity and reach out to your customers, and critically, pay a fair and reasonable wage to American compatriots. As you need to live, so too them.

No point in appealing to the Corporations. They won’t care anyway, but their time will come soon. Once our debts are the paid, the People will and must be in control of our own ultimate Manifest Destiny, as laid down by our founding fathers, and never again be determined and robbed by shadow selfish totalitarian regimes

I alone cannot save the economy. But with your determination, courage and resilience, your and I will save it, if not for ourselves, at least for the next generations to come. We will be revered by them if we succeed. And even if we failed, we will still be revered for trying and they will draw courage from our resilience to make a better world for themselves, as we do today from our founding fathers, the thousands whom sacrificed their toil, sweat and blood for our present.

Do not do as I write, but consider what I wrote in this post. There is a debt of honor for the sacrifice made by others. We do not selfishly live alone, but for the whole, and that whole is your family, relatives and friends and mine whom makes up our society.

Thanks and good luck! :-)
