A PROMOTION FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS

2007-12-18T14:44:00.000-08:00

Our nation has been it's most successful when a healthy balance of wealth exists. A balance that allows for a confident, secure and productive middle class. A balance that allows for the "American Dream"... that a person can, with diligence and ingenuity change their destiny for the better. This post will be most useful if we concentrate on opportunities for middle class wealth building, fair taxation and fair trade agreements, etc. It may be useful to research The New Deal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal or Australia's "Light on the Hill" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_light_on_the_hill and identify any relevant tactics that could be reworked for today's global arena.

AN A FOR OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM

Seriously. America has no excuse for poor education. None. Seed schools have the right idea, so how can we learn from evolving curriculum and standards and allocate funding in a way that maximizes our ROI per student.

NATIONAL PRIDE FOR OUR FOREIGN POLICY

2007-12-18T14:15:00.000-08:00

National Pride and a healthy Foreign Policy are a by-product of a healthy domestic policy and a robust economy that can sustain a strong infrastructure... where can we improve our domestic policy to provide for our own citizens and to be more in-line with a proper foreign policy?
America is among the most amazing countries in the world because we have the ability as a nation of citizens to make a positive impact through our government's agencies. How can we best utilize the resources available to create a positive impact for those who want our help? Are there agencies that have become bloated or obsolete?

POLITICIANS SERVING THE PEOPLE

2007-12-18T14:09:00.000-08:00

Somewhere along the line, a few, not all, but some politicians forgot that they were hired as public servants, chartered to represent the people who voted for them. As our society grows, what are some actionable solutions to limit corporate influence on our representatives? How can we create a more open and effcient channel of communication between the people and our representatives? Lastly, when a politician goes "political" what safeguards might be employed to reign them back in or replace them more efficiently with someone who holds our best interests as important?

TAXATION WITH REPRESENTATION

2007-05-27T10:44:00.000-07:00

With this post, we're looking for simple solutions to the way we are taxed. What should be taxable? How much control over funding specific government projects should we have as individuals and how do we exercise that right efficiently. Which Tax laws are outdated or need to be brought up for referendum?
