A reply to my post


Robley George,

 

I did enjoy the reading there at Rapids of Change and a few other notes at the center. The system of trade leads to issues within the concept, I see valuable points and points of lesser value.

 

I cannot escape something that is a very core of my belief “a prosperity encouraged is a prosperity gained.” To me, the meaning of the word prosperity is found in the value of a life.

 

I am a small businessman; as such I have no limits to what I can achieve. If my view of prosperity is so limited that it has become only a resource to utilize for the gain of the coin in my pockets, I still can and should be able to gain more coin without hindrance and of equal value to another business or man. Alas my greed will be my adornment; my home will be empty to the shame of my wife.

 

There once was a belief that our alliances with business could be and in fact should be guarded against, for no other corruptions could rend a nation’s value than an alliance with a greed-motivated business or man.

 

In fact as of now, admittedly America has had financial failure due to such Alliances. The Great depression and the Great Bail-Out, which never worked nor could it have; this only continues today.  

 

Just like a Doctor or a Dentist I do not prosper by the use of law, but thrive within the law. The use of a gamble that ten people can pay for the health of one, is the same gamble that one out of one hundred will wreck and cause damage to another in your car. Insurance is nothing but a gamble placed firmly on the shoulders of another. It is my decision to whom I give my charity. It is a business with gains and profits mandated by law.

 

Yet, was it they who stepped up to repay that gamble, did they dip into their livelihoods and repay the insurance on the properties that they themselves inflated and insured for a higher return?

 

I cannot fathom the obstruction of the derivative concepts of a country such as those stated so clearly back when the U.S. began. To the men alive at the time this nation was built, these concepts were stated so very clearly. It was the greed which is the focus of the warning addressed in every opening session of a group of representatives from cities and towns and it was made unambiguous that it was that warning by which they should guide our nation.

 

Yet you can see when you follow the donations and contributions that this enactment of law is nothing more than the very greed and back alley handshake these agreements of “favor for favor” on both sides of the line are based on. Otherwise, it would not even be a law.

 

I do not think we are broken, I cannot as of yet find a flaw within our system I just think we are being mislead. Let me be clear here: “Not only did they not have to be responsible for the dept of their gamble, but now you will be forced by law to pay them on the gamble of my health”.

 

Not only have they covered the fact that they are not going to be responsible but in fact have you paying for it yet again, straight out of their “quid pro quo” alliance with whom we have chosen to lead us.

 

This system tweaked is where we are; this system was not built by the very rich, and in fact it was built by the poorest and most manipulative men in history not out of greed but as a protection from it.

 

I would much rather hear the values of prosperity debated on the floor of congress- about the system, about the values, and how that value can be a light a home from the poorest to the richest; to which each has their own idea of what it is of their items that they call riches.

 

I am an artist, a photographer, a father and a friend, not a leader. I have the poorest of education focused upon what I smith. I am the worse among the posters of this thread; I have no clear answers, no clear solution only the passionate values of that father written and hopefully displayed at least with the clear passion reflected by those responsibilities as a father.

 

It is people like you, Robley who I believe should lead, for at least you are open to debate an ideal you believe in as concept of a country built upon equality. There is no equality in greed.

 

The value of a coin no longer matters when the line has been crossed over the value of a life and the value of a home.

 

We have yet to discuss the value of prosperity, which I am sure we would enjoy.
