ABUNDANCE UNFREEZES

The first rule of economics is that resources are scarce. If you buy into this premise you have set the stage for the principles of supply and demand to function. When we artificially restrict supply we give business leaders power to profit over us. If we buy into one lie we give power to others to be able to manipulate us. We live in a world where resources are abundant and renewable. This concept of trillions of dollars backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America is one of abundance. Put dollars into the banks and they will quit hording the dollars because they know they can get more. The credit freeze is due to the false assumption that banks can get no more dollars. The credit freeze is artificial. We are giving power to it by supporting it. If every American Bank was able to have access to the unlimited dollars they needed there would be no more credit freeze. American leadership needs to rise to this challenge and unfreeze the markets by restoring stability. We have limited ourselves. We have stopped thinking. The concept of full faith and credit is intangible. Let’s restate the currency as being backed by the Real Estate of America - The abundant land of our forefathers that we have fought for and bled for. Let’s restate the currency as being backed by the securities of the companies of America – The engine of capitalism. If currency was allowed to flow freely into assets again – regardless of credit scores – we would unfreeze the markets.

Resources, like currency, are renewable and abundant. Food is abundant, shelter is abundant, healthcare is abundant, education is abundant, and jobs are abundant. Let’s get back to living the dream.

THIS IS NOT SOCIALISM

This is not Socialism. 

In fact this is allowing the true "Free Market" Economy to function with checks and balances in place to ensure that all participants adhere to sound business principles. The sense of entitlement needs to be educated out of the American People. Nobody is owed influence but also nobody is anointed to influence. Anyone that has played a team sport in a competitive environment knows that each player must earn his or her position every single day. That keeps the team sharp and playing at the highest level.

By eliminating “Special Interest” influence out of Washington we restore the truly competitive engine of Capitalism. No longer will we have one company with an artificial leg up over their competition. We will make it easier for the ingenuity of the individual entrepreneur to bring their innovations to market. Too many of the big corporations fear the upstart business because their low overhead exposes the fat within “big business” ranks. Through legislation “big business” makes it hard for the lone businessman to get started. This strategy is short sighted as we face competition from outside of America.

We are now in a GLOBAL economy. We must restore America's Engine of Competitiveness to be able to compete with all of the companies and Countries that are embracing Capitalism. Manufacturing can and will return to our shores where we can eliminate shipping costs, control environmental impacts, and build innovative products that match the needs of America as well as the needs in other areas of the World.

The responsibility of taking care of those that are less fortunate throughout the world is the responsibility of all humanity. Government takes the lead with foreign policy, military civil affairs, and membership in the World's organizations. Faith based organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations, Corporations, Non-Profit Organizations and Individuals must bridge the gap ensuring three square meals a day, a roof over their heads, access to quality healthcare, personal safety, an education and a job to every man, woman and child alive. That giving must be done hand to hand, eye to eye, and Heart to Heart.

The education of every man, woman, and child alive must include a strong curriculum of "Personal Responsibility" as well as “Charity”.

Moral responsibility rests with everyone that has a life of excess.

5 Steps

STEP #1

Constitutional Amendment providing actual people with a greater legal standing than Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, Non-Profit Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations or any other non living manufactured entities including all special interest groups.

STEP #2

BAN ON SPECIAL INTEREST CONTRIBUTIONS AND LOBBYING

Special Interest no longer allowed to contact any member of Congress or member of the Executive Branch.

STEP #3

Campaign Finance Reform

All campaigns financed by the Government at set amounts. Every candidate given equal time on television as condition for grant of FCC licensing to television stations. All rules grant Joe Average the same campaign advantages of Joe Dupont   

STEP #4

Successful Candidates place all assets and income into a trust that is managed by Accountants and Attorneys that must certify that all expenses and income was by legitimate means. In becoming a servant of the people the legislator sacrifices some autonomy. Investments can never benefit from policy decisions made in the Public Sector. Accountants and Attorneys shield money management from the client so that a legislator cannot ever have ethics issues. Compensation must reflect fees for these services. Every lawyer needs to be banned from participating in his/her client's business. Attorneys are "for hire" and need to maintain an "arms length" relationship with their clients.

STEP #5

Replace Every Member of Congress In Office on October, 2008 during the voting of the Financial Crisis Bail Out Bill.


We have to change the way Legislators get elected. Too many of them get contributions from "Special Interest Groups" in exchange for influence. Too much of the legislation that gets passed contains provisions that have nothing to do with the Bill that is being passed because of attachments to satisfy "deals" (funding). We have established a legal but corrupt system that needs to be changed. We have allowed influence to have a price tag.
