War
War used to be the last resort after all other methods of diplomacy have been tried and failed. War was not policy as it is now. How much do we spend on war and what could that same expenditure do for Americans and the world if spent in different ways? Obviously, we could not do much worse than we are now and hundreds of thousands of people would not have to die. America's military deserves to be respected worldwide as peacekeepers. Politicians are destroying our reputation by using America's military force to secure profits for the already super rich.
Taxes
Government is to be for the people and of the people. It is the job of government to support it's population with the highest lifestyle possible. The average American's well being used to be the indicator of our success as a nation. Not how the rich live and play. How American's live, and how we treat our poor, was a matter of pride.
Regulation
In support of the country's citizens, dramatic increases in gas prices should be regulated. Medicine and health care should be regulated. The prison system should be regulated. Among so many others.
It's alright to make a profit but not at the expense of any American no matter where they live or what they believe.
Our core values have diminished to the point where many should be ashamed but do not seem to care.
America holds more prisoners than China and China has 4x as many citizens.
Our country needs to get it's act together. Your vote is important. But, your dollar is more important. Your dollar is the true factor in what happens in this world. Politics is just antics driven by the dollar. The true test of who and what survive in this world is based upon profits. You make the decision on where your dollar goes which dictates who makes the almighty profit.
Vote with your dollar and change the world.
