rc3.org Strong opinions weakly held

What scares me the most is that we appear to be in the middle of a changing society that has somehow managed to throw reason and critical thinking out the window and is voting into office politicians who will continue to destroy the country by doing the bidding of the very wealthy. How these millions of Americans can be convinced to vote against their own best interests baffles me.

I agree completely Rafe. I certainly have my doubts as well. Our government seems to reward failure and punish success. It puts obstacles in front of entrepreneurs and new businesses. It rewards companies who lobby the most effectively with favored government treatment or regulations. It encourages companies to send jobs overseas by oppressive tax rates and burdensome regulations. It does not invest money in creating new industry, but spends it on a temporary job that will be gone as soon as the money runs out. As Cameron said, reason and critical thinking are conspicuously absent. Hopefully, that will change this November.

The one thing I’m certain of is that it won’t change this November, regardless of the results of the election.
