Vision for America

I have a vision for our country and right now it is somewhat tarnished. The America I see is one that fairness is the doctrine that we all strive to live by. We have moved to the point that greed and concern for self  has over taken all else. How much more could we all achieve if instead of finding fault and differences, we find agreement and solutions?  Fairness would be the mantra of a new generation and direction. Someone that spills a hot cup of coffee would not receive millions of dollars, but a hand full of napkins to clean up the spill. Companies that make billions of dollars would not seek ways to squeeze more out of us, but would find a fair price to make a fair profit. Tax payers, whether personal or corporate, would look to pay their fair share to help support the essential services that are required for a society. Elected officials would actually look at how to make lives for people and corporations better, instead of finding ways to get re-elected or line their pockets with money to sway their votes. We would look at ways to make, our Constitution come to life, by actually making all laws and directions equal. The wealthy and corporations would not be able to steal from everyone and almost destroy our economy without going to prison. Steal a loaf of bread to feed your family and see how fair the judicial system is for the poor. The needy would be able to work at public jobs, doing services for the community in return for the money or food stamps they receive. Children, no matter what side of the tracks they live on, would receive a great education. I am only beginning to see how we could change the destiny of our nation and the American people with one principle. Fairness.
