Ayn Rand, Chomsky & Everywhere In Between

So many of the best economic and political books today are either great articulations of a one-sided ideology or would make a nice magazine article.  In our political and economic life, anyone can say anything.  Words are cheap and often add to the confusion.  Honesty with ourselves reveals the truth is never the exclusive product or possession of any one person, group, or ideology.

However, there are some actions we could make our government take now, that perhaps most will agree with;
  • Act on the will of individual citizens.
    • More influence for actual people and less for entities which now disproportionately influence the system.
  • Squarely correct your financial irresponsibilities.
  • Provide cool-headed, civil arguments in the public arena where more than just the "two" establishment opinions are expressed.
Looking deeper into political and economic abyss has motivated removal of my long-standing American flag aside my desk.  I have always been proud to be a US citizen.  I have put the flag in my desk drawer.



Sincerely,
Lawrence Feriozzi
