Why the Democrats and Republicans in Washington squabble over how to extend unemployment and the pay roll tax cuts, I wonder how many Tea Party Members in the House and Senate realize the amount of money American Businesses stand to lose if they support the Republican Plan. Because although reducing unemployment benefits by half, freezing federal pay for the next ten years, and eliminating 200,000 positions may make a good bite, given the lack of demand in the market, how does the Republican Plan help the American Business generate the demand for their product and service which will lead to jobs being created as well as make a profit for their Stockholders?

Now I’m not agreeing with President Obama and the Democratic Leadership plan since it does use an axe when a knife would do, nevertheless, I can’t help wonder why they don’t work with the moderate conservatives in overhauling Americas’ Pay Roll Taxes and Unemployment Insurance. For while keeping the American Consumer capable of meeting their basic household bills does serve the Better Good of a community, state, and nation. I can’t help wonder how after 26 weeks of benefits one can hope to return to their work at the same corporation. Nevertheless, without such benefits could a community, state, and nation deal with the increase of crime created by men trying to feed their family?

So why the Democratic and Republican Members of Congress work to find a politically acceptable answer, I hope the 99 Movement and the Tea Party members will help Washington realize that in this time if economic downturn and a growing need to invest in bringing Americas’ Infrastructure out of the 19^th Century and into the 21^st Century is an opportunity for every American to secure their financial independence. For while it would make Common Sense for every American to take their savings in pay roll taxes and invest into a national infrastructure bank. How does one go about getting every American to do it out of their own Freewill.

With the media unable or unwilling to hold Americas’ Elected Officials and those seeking such offices accountable for whatever reason than may I suggest to the American Voter that together we hold them answerable for building our children and grandchildren a well-established Green Sustainable Government and Society that does not only protect us from the enemy from within and out, but provides for the general welfare of the Human Race inside and outside her borders. Because why I am sure out of 300 million plus citizens we can find more than one way to skin a cat. Given the pleasure of witnessing the last forty years trials and tribulations as well as knowing Mankind can by using the Founding Documents discover a way to give every Human on Earth the opportunity to become economically viable and financially independent as well as all that is acclaimed by that statement. I am almost certain the Leaders and Members of the Tea Party and 99 Movement can work together with Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders in order to deal with the Issues of the 20^th Century and prepare to meet the unknown challenges of the next epoch journey of Mankind.

As for logic and reasons beyond my reach I might not ever be able to prove to My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s that any man from the 20^th Century can build a Perfect World; however, Blessed with the experience and wisdom of the last forty plus years I wouldn’t bet them if that in the next 100 years the Citizens and Leaders of the Human Race can come close. For if I have learned only one thing from my personal journey, it is that Mankind and the Human Race was and is never intended to live their lives racing toward the bottom. Yet, given the starting point by the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s as well as the Elders of the 70’s I can see now how such an entity was needed in order to edify Mankinds’ Government and Society.

And though the Leaders and Members of the No-Nothing Party, the Naysayers, and Nimbys will try to hold onto the power they have manifested over the last 100 years seems to always be against even the ideology of a better world. Given this last round of financial and institutional breakdown, I do believe from what I have seen, heard, or read about the Citizens and Leaders of the Human Race that a fair and just compromise can become unrelenting. For like our Ancestors who broke free of the Chains of Slavery and Tyranny in order to find a better life for their children. So to through the support of Our Founding Fathers we will be able to show future generations what exists on the other side of the mountain spoke about by many of the Visionaries who have come before me and will surely come after me.
