Taking
America Back
As I have stated in many of my articles the United
States is one of the greatest countries on the planet. We have helped
more countries in need than any other single power and have developed
more for the good of civilization than any single country in the world.
As we have helped so many, it is only right that we
continue to prosper and lead the world. However, as we have focused our
attention on improving life for so many outside our country we have lost
focus on sustaining our own prosperity.
1. We have companies that now think in short
term profits for the sake of stock prices. Some of these global
corporations also offshore their workforce while continuing to take
large profits overseas, thus avoiding paying the same US income tax
local organizations pay.
2. We have two political parties that continue
to fight as if there can be only one party winner. It seems as
though our leaders are more interested in promoting their parties
principles rather than the principles of their voters while accepting
large donation from corporations.
3. We no longer support US products for the sake
of saving a few dollars. We as a people have become satisfied with
low quality, throw away products, and wind up spending more in the long
run. We need to return to believing quality is King.
Many people will banter about the idea that it is
the fault of the Democrats or the Republicans, some will even say it is
the fault of the President.
The truth in the matter is it is the fault of
the American people.
We continue to buy products made in other countries
for the sake of a saving a few dollars not realizing the ramifications
of our action when 20 million of our 300 million plus population buys
that product. One five-dollar product could save over 3 thousand
jobs. A one hundred dollar product could save 60 thousand jobs.
We continue not to take a part in our legislative
process by voting, and many if they do vote, either vote pure party line
because that’s the way our parents did it or believed. On the other
hand, we simply refuse to take the time to educate ourselves in the
candidates experience and beliefs. Currently over half of our Senate
and Congress, the people we have placed in the position to have a direct
effect on our lives, have never had any business experience at all,
sure, they have experience in parliamentary procedure, but far too many
are professional politicians.
We begin supporting political groups that seem to
shout the loudest without taking into consideration what the true
focus of their leaders are.
We continue to listen to our favorite talk show
host, read only a single writer’s view, or watch the same news broadcast
until the rhetoric is no longer opinion in our mind, it becomes fact.
Do you really want to take America Back?
Open your mind to new ideas.
Buy and support local businesses and products.
Educate yourself on different political candidates.
Support companies that support you.
Stop dwelling on the past and work towards a better
future.
Go out and buy one 20 dollar US made product
whether you need it or not, if we could get 150 million people to do
that, we could save over 300,000 jobs. If we could get everyone doing
this ever week we could put 156 billion dollars back into our economy
and over 9 billion dollars in tax revenue.
Take America Back
We’re the Only Ones that will DO IT
