United America Party www.uaparty.org
Unlike a traditional political party, the United America Party is being formed as a party that puts the common good above politics, corporate, and personal interests; a party focused on making informed decisions to solve the seemingly intractable problems of today while preserving the promise of tomorrow; one party that represents one America – a United America. We welcome Democrats, Republicans, and independents to join the United America Party.
This movement is quickly attracting members from all across the United States. We are committed to finding comprehensive and common sense solutions to the problems facing our country through rational and informed decision-making.
If you find yourself in the political middle, on the left, or the right, but want to move the country forward through an efficient government that does not sacrifice long-term viability to achieve short term goals, then the United America Party needs you. We encourage citizen participation.
Our mission is to build a viable, permanent system that promotes an incorruptible, common sense and information-oriented force that put the peoples’ interests first. The United America Party is that force. Join us!
Basic Principles of our Party
-An efficient government
-Ethical, but secular
-The government and the people must be willing to pay for those programs they deem important
-Governance, not at the expense of individual liberties, and with respect to the rights of a minority
-The public before politics, corporate, and personal interests
-A government that utilizes resources such that the environment and people are not exploited
-Short-term gain should not overshadow long-term viability
===================
Is this something you can get behind?
As I mentioned before, I can get behind this!
Yes but nothing in this world will divert my attention from the obscene, unjust, immoral, and illogical concentration of wealth or the incredible evil of self centered greed. Nothing will divert my attention. Am I still welcome?
Now, a hypothetical scenario of Earth shattering greed:
Is greed really good?
Doctor discovers cure and prevention of AIDS. Sells discovery for $5,000,000,000,000. Same doctor discovers cure and prevention of heart disease. Sells discovery for another $5,000,000,000,000. Same doctor discovers cure and prevention of Alzheimer. Sells discovery for another $1,000,000,000,000. Breast cancer. Brain cancer. Skin cancer. Bone cancer. Colon cancer. Pancreatic cancer. Cervical cancer. Ovarian cancer. Testicular cancer. Banks cover all related investments by the health care industry. Nobody stops to consider that the lower 99 percent combined could never afford such expensive cures. The richest one percent agree to purchase the bulk of material assets along with millions of unsold homes for ten percent of market value. After a two year spike in revenue, the health care industry tanks. The vast majority have gone bankrupt in a desperate attempt to cover those incredibly expensive cures. The profits made in the first two years were nowhere near enough to cover the $20,000,000,000,000 doctor payoff. The largest debts in world history go unpaid. All major banks fail miserably. Followed by every major industry. Unemployment spikes to 90 percent in all of the G20. The global economy tanks. Chaos breaks out worldwide. Meanwhile, the richest man in the world by far, buys an island and hires a small army to protect his $20,000,000,000,000 fortune. 5000 jobs are created. More as the richest one percent worldwide hire additional security. Unemployment drops to 80 percent across the developed world. Widespread chaos remains. Entire cities burn to the ground. The masses finally converge on the richest one percent in every corner of the world. As the bodies pile up, disease breaks out worldwide. When the dust settles, and the bodies rot away, only a few hundred million remain worldwide. Those few hundred million survivors must find a way to get along and rebuild. Hopefully, with a more reliable and ethical system of economics.
The answer is hell no. Greed kills..
