(June 2020)
The American system no longer works. Look around. Capitalism is ruining America.
The American system used to work beautifully. Oh, yeah. Very well. And beautifully. There is a difference.
Right now we are a Capitalist country.
We used to be a free country.
We aren't a free country anymore. Not to everyone. And that is no longer how we define ourselves.
We define ourselves as a Capitalist country.
The American system worked when we thought of ourselves as a free country.
It stopped working when we started thinking of ourselves as a Capitalist country.
Are we free to be Socialist? Are we free to be Liberal?
Not to Republicans.
To Republicans we are not free to be Liberal. We are not free to be Socialist.
To Republicans you must be Capitalist.
To Republicans we are no longer a free country.
If the American system is ever to work again, we must get back to being a free country.
We must be free to be Liberal if we want to.
We must define ourselves as supporters of freedom, not as Capitalists.
When we did that, the American system worked beautifully.
Because at some point you must choose between supporting Capitalism and supporting freedom.
And we must get back to putting freedom first.
Then America will be the leader of the Free World again.
Or at least America will be a free country again.
Something to think about as we try to save America.
Sincerely,
David S. Annderson
