Fixes
Tax Cuts for Rich- Fast and simple fix support the Buffet Tax which adjusts tax rates to evenly distribute tax burden amongst the people making sure the wealthiest pay the same percentage as the rest of us hard working Americans Shipping Jobs oversees- A. Make foreign workers contribute towards United States taxes or enforce the company shipping work oversees to pay the equivalent percentage any U.S. worker would have to pay out of their wages but all workers salary percentage is to be judged apon U.S. minimum wage laws considering our government is actuality funding this cheap labor since its our currency being pored into foreign industry while receiving poor quality products
Stagnant wages Although our government enforces minimum wage these laws aren’t effective enough with increasing inflation across our nation. To counter act this either the companies must begin raising wages with the increase in price of living which is technically how capitalism is supposed to work. Our government needs to tighten their belts and place regulations on business that completely eliminate inflation from occurring since our government does supply our currency along with the precious metal it represents. Lobbying Simple… GET RID OF IT! There is nothing good that has ever come out of lobbying. This is the greatest plague on freedom since before separation of church and state. How can a company pay our ELECTED politicians to try and sway them into passing legislation when they are supposed to represent the people? How is this different from a church official taking donations and contributing to the politicians? Its simple there is no difference; money should not be a tool for political gain but should be used as a means of trade for service or for product.

I know these barely touch all the problems our country faces today but before we can move forward we must take a step back. Remember how our forefathers stood in the face of controversy. They saw how they were paying taxes paying for Parliaments four- course dinners. The difference between then and now though is we have a new enemy. The lobbying corporations now steal our right to full representation we need to progress as a nation, while turning life into a cannibalistic game in which we destroy ourselves. Now is the time to choose between yourself and a better tomorrow, not only for your children but for the all of the children among our nation. All we are asking for is the fortunate to contribute the same percentage of income as any middle or lower income citizen to the government that provides its ability to trade and due business. Why can’t these corporations look past the material world and step into reality? Why can’t they see that without us, the American people, they wouldn’t be wealthy as they are now? Without the support of the American people you’re nothing more than a outcast from your own society. Eventually the American people will reach a boiling point and once that occurs where will you try and hide then? China? India? Indonesia? Somewhere else where you force laborers to produce products for little wages and no benefits? Not even they will accept you once you’ve lost your market. So what shall it be gentlemen? Peace or War? You hold the key to your own salvation, but will they turn it in time? If not surely the majority will rise from the shroud caste among our people by the 1% and take back what we grieve most for, our freedom. Freedom to live, Eat, and obtain true happiness. To cooperate for a better future instead of competing in a race. To provide for each other not yourself. To care for the whole instead of the few. To treat your neighbor as if he were your bother. In the end we are the human race not the human individuals. If Darwin’s Theories are correct than it is up to us to adapt as a whole otherwise the entire species will eventually not have the resources to reproduce let alone survive. I’m not saying we are heading towards utter destruction what I’m saying is that now is the time to react and help future generations achieve things we cant even begin to imagine. Now is the time to take action! United We Stand, but Divided We Fall
