I've written elsewhere on the importance of work. A job provides not merely survival but a sense of worth and for many pride. A job is always better if one of choice but almost any job can bring these basic rewards while seeking ones eventual ideal position in life. I am of course speaking of legal work not harmful to others like drug dealing. More than one person has flipped burgers then went on to beome a doctor or lawyer or even an accountant God forbid.
Where I see social unrest, I also see financial stress and young people who for whatever reason have lots of free time on their hands and likely feel some degree of disconnection or disenfranchisement from society at large. Social unrest has gained strength in recent times and though there are definitely agitators (paid ones too) who want this to happen, young ill educated people get caught up in the misguided protestations thinking that it is the system that they must fell and in buying into that they stop looking inward for what they can do about it. I personally do not accept that the United States of America is systemically racist. In fact I see the opposite. Perfect no, but certainly a country that elected a black man president TWICE in a row is not systemically racist. This divisive narrative is being pushed for a reason. POWER. For whom? Not you and I but destructive Marxists.
Media that mouths the complaints of a few Marxists and lies about the good things and good people of our country are and should be considered enemies of the people. This seems to stem from what some call Trump Derangement Syndrome and though that is a popular explanation, it is too simple. The real syndrome in my opinion is a seething hatred for good honest people who just want to work hard, support their families and live their life under the banner of Freedom that our founding documents provide and if at all possible in peace. Therein lays the real Hippies. Those that do not have those characteristics hate those who do. Right now hatred of the USA is in power. The Far Left and Democrats seem locked in step (the goose step) with each other. I do believe that some Democrats are dumb on this fact or play so. The Left's leaders are not and full well know what they are doing to the American people. In this they are evil.
If jobs were truly supported by the governments whether federal, state or local, more young people could be productive and contribute to their own well being instead of demanding and accepting the slavery of free stuff. The socialists and even communists exist in the USA now and more so than I can ever recall in my lifetime. It is a dangerous presence though per the Constitution it is allowed. But again, in my opinion that is as dangerous as allowing a known disease to exist in ones body. I say the cure is simply to get rid of it and consider it an attempt to overthrow the Constitutional Federalism that made the USA the world's envy for 250 years. That's done by showing its falsehoods, exposing its lies and getting people to work in order to experience the benefits of a Free society AND voting that way. Schools have been taken over by ideologies that are destructive to our Nation and that too must be cleaned up. We may have already lost a generation but while enough old timers are still around to keep things going we better get that done. Well educated young people will be the workers, business owners, political leaders and geniuses of tomorrow so help them out, get education back to the things that count including excellence in real history and the real civics we were founded upon not CRT, Karl Marx and other failed ideologies promoted by the Chinese Communist Party. These goofy political studies destroy children and orient them a slaves of the State. This is abhorrent and deserves to be stamped out every day by every loving parent alive.
The way to a good productive Nation is through good useful, undiluted un-poisoned education, good useful jobs that bring pride back pride to its people and vigilance for and an intolerance of destructive ideologies while rooting them out. The US Constitution is a gift and we better protect it or we'll lose it. A little targeted chemo therapy goes a long way to get rid of cancer. It's a long haul if we can make it at all, but it must be done or we lose the USA. Here are a few priorities that I believe will help:
Secure the Borders ( real enemies sneak in too plus the drug trade kills kids)
Establish good reasoned merit based immigration attracting those who love the USA and want to assimilate
Create sound Money and that does NOT mean Bitcoin but rather a return to the Gold Standard
Promote a National push to buy our own Bonds or contribute voluntarily and reduce the National Debt as rapidly as possible.. we owe that to our children
Pass a few new laws outlawing destructive voting practices with stiff penalties and defeat HR1 now because it makes into law cheating
Support good Policing and the 2nd Amendment for the law abiding populace...with good law and enforcement of it we do not have a chance at success
Eliminate special treatment of new media like FB, Twitter and more and hold them accountable for what they are, a public utility able to be sued...support alternative media
Get going on a constitutional Amendment to require a Balanced Budget... a tough one for OPM addicts
I could give more but that's a good start.
My clients are the backbones of this country and I see them under stress. If they and those like them are pushed much further it will be a sad day and perhaps a day for them to loudly stand up and fight for their Rights. Congress is rallying around the Jan.6th "insurrection" as a way to marginalize anyone who s on the Right. If they succeed in this false narrative it will be a bad day in black rock so to speak and the streets will show it. Let's get this straightened out while votes still count. Support good candidates whether Blue or Red or other, just get good people back into government that will unquestionably take their oath to uphold and support the US Constitution and the law. There are many in Congress who fail this most basic requirement hands down. A noose might be a better solution for some but I say vote them out and go forward with a renewed vigor using the Constitution. That will ensure we continue to exist as the Founders foresaw.
