WHY DO WE LET IT HAPPEN?

We the People can do something about change, but we let it happen. 

They say money buys the elections.

They are right but only because We the People let it happen.

What can we do about it?

Get behind a platform issue. 

For example…

I have found a solution to the problem with funding social security… reduce the 6.7% tax to a 2% flat tax and there will be much more money in the pool than the present collection method which caps the tax receipts to less than the first one hundred thousand in income. 

2% flat tax will tax Mayor Bloomberg and other high income Americans on their full incomes.  We must also tax trust income, dividends, stock options, tax deferred income, capital gains, barter… any income any way, no cap, just a straight 2%.   This sharing of the public good will cause much less pain at 2% than it does to the sufferers in the present system at 6.7%. 

There are others issues

We, the People, as consumers, can purchase efficient lighting.  That will change our use of energy to the extent of changing the present direction toward irreversible global warming. 

We, the People, can elect officials who want to work for us, and not those that work for big corporations or big lobby groups or to help the rich at the expense of the poor.  But that is who we are electing, because We don’t stick together.  So let us form a union.  If you earn less than one million dollars then let us all discuss who we will vote for and if we do that We the People will have the power to help Us the People.
