In case, based on recent posts, anyone is wondering.
But we’re on the wrong path. For us to be the kind of people we can and should be:
- We have to get away from the senseless consumerism that drives the lives of so many of us.
- We have to start making things here again.
- We have to remember that money really does have value and the world is not going to keep loaning it to us forever for no reason just so we can buy more jet skis.
- We have to remember why we exist as a nation in the first place, which is to give each of us the freedom to live our lives in liberty and to pursue happiness. And excessive taxation to satisfy the greed of others takes away freedom just the same as a police state does.
- We can be poor as long as we have standards and ideals and rise above the level of dumb beasts. No doubt there have always been both kinds of poor people in this country, but one gets the impression that few of us, no matter how much money we happen to have, live our lives based on ideals any more.
I think the financial sector of the economy has taken over the country and is treating us as if we don’t care about anything more than we care about money. If we have become that people, then we need to un-become that people if we are not to become slaves as well. If we are not yet that people, we have to act as if ideals matter more than money.
