Opis

This is a satirical critique of the American System of Economics and its Political Structure. Since I am documenting the rise and fall of the American way of life and the problems that have developed as a result I felt a responsibility to provide a path or potential solutions to the problems the country faces going forward. I did not spare words nor sentiments with respect to my views of Americana past and present, I did not present a cherry coated version of how we got to today in some respects it is scathing and I meant it to be so to stimulate people to think and argue and create a better model. I think as has been pointed out we have moved forward on many frontiers - yet the strengthening of the 1% as opposed to the other 99% is an alarming development - this if not corrected can only polarize the people and accelerate and even ignite a potential powder keg in the future. I fear the rift between the haves and the have nots eventually will be the biggest detriment to moving a system that is strong by its mix of divergent peoples and hybrid nature which would feed the good of all into a place where all are exploited by the few. In the past this was always tempered and regulated for the many - now I do not feel there is any interest in servicing the many rather even with healthcare it is really being promoted in the interest of the healthcare lobbies rather than the people. And so I submit this humbly as one man's view and aspirations as to how we have arrived where we are today and the structure thereof and some potential solutions for the problems that confront us and a hope for a better tomorrow.
