Hope

There is a lot of talk about hope and change right now, what seems odd to me is many people I hear talking about hope and change have a very good life right now, I wonder what they want changed in their life?

I am willing to give the new president the benefit of the doubt but I am nervous domestically about taxes and gun control and about his foreign policy changes, I don't think he wants a weak America so I have always supported what a president does in foreign policy I may not always think they are being aggressive enough but the president deserves a united populace in these endevours.

Domestically we drastically need a shift back to encouraging the productive members of society. Working people need to be encouraged to work hard and save for when times are hard.

Many think that Being a Free-marketer or a Capitalist means that one absolutely trusts capitalist, that is not what it means often times the capitalist is corrupt, but if you have a free-market you have a multitude of people to choose services from many of whom have their own interests at heart but if they have compitition they have at least motivation to provide you back with your desired service that is better than their other compitition.

The more we regulate industries the less and less corrupt people we have to choose from.

Trust Capitalism but don't blindly trust the capitalist.

  1. I think the President we picked will listen closely to his advisors - he just isn't experienced enough to make the tough decisions on his own.

    Same goes for the free-market. Sure, go do your own thing but keep asking everyone of influence how they think it's going. Networking voraciously and be willing to change when needed.
