INTRODUCTION

Simply Put, I Seek the Office Of The President Of The United States.

Hi.

My Name is - Alan Lee.

(Getting to the Point), Most People seem to have an extreme position/opinion (one way or the other) of Donald Trump.

In any case, I Offer what I believe (and Hope) Would be a viable alternative to the White House's occupant in 2024.

That alternative is - ME.

Follows is an Essay I Prepared, Outlining My "Vision" for Our Nation, And The Critical Issues Contained Within.

After Reading it, I Hope You Will Agree that You And I Are Very Much Like-Minded.

I Have NO Funding - Whatsoever, and Never Held ANY Public Office.  I Have Absolutely NO  Political Experience and No Backing whatsoever.

But I Have Been in Business for Many Years. (A Very - SMALL  business).

I Have Come To Find That Most People Are "Drawn" To Me. They Like Me. They Feel Comfortable Around Me. They Confide in Me. Even After Meeting Me Once, (and For a Very Short Period of Time), People Feel And Believe, That They Can - TRUST Me, And They - CAN.

I a not a member of any political party, I never registered with any, nor have I ever contributed time or funds for any.

However, I am Not averse to changing that.

As I said just above, I have No political experience, backing, or funding - whatsoever.

What I DO Have to Offer are:  IDEAS.

ALL I have is KNOWLEDGE of What is - RIGHT and What is - WRONG, And a PLETHORA of - REALISTIC, LOGICAL, PRAGMATIC, And USABLE IDEAS, And -  METHODS (See Section 4 Below) to HELP Make it - WORK.

I - KNOW, HOW - To Accomplish These Things, BUT.............

In order to turn these Principles into - REALITY, And  LAWS, I Think You Will Agree that a Most Critical Step is addressing the problem of Congressional Partisanship and Polarity. 

I Have Developed a (Multi-Step) Method To Do So. (See Section 4 Below).

I Believe, All of These things (Combined With My Ideologies, Education, [Business] Experience, Morals, and Ethics) Makes The Prospect of My Presidential Aspiration and Potential, to Actually Approach - some degree of Feasibility.

PREFACE

I AM - CREATIVE/INNOVATIVE.

I KNOW, what is - RIGHT (it is IN my HEART, it is INSTINCTIVE, it is OBVIOUS).

I KNOW what is - WRONG (ditto).

I THINK - OUTSIDE that box.

I HAVE - That "Fresh Blood" With an UNLIMITED Amount of - NEW IDEAS.

I AM - PREPARED To UNIFY People And Organizations - For Our Cause(s).

I AM - Unhindered By Past Political "Activities", Since NONE Existed.

I have been working in Retail much of my life.

Retail and CUSTOMER SERVICE Primarily utilize "People Skills" and therefore have Much in Common and Overlap with - Public Relations/"Politics".

I KNOW - HOW to get a message across (as [Hopefully] this letter is a testament to), and the Same Principle is applicable to FAR More than just ONE recipient.

I CAN - HELP Our Cause(s).

Perhaps, just perhaps, I can even - LEAD And MOTIVATE, And be the MESSENGER of said Cause(s).  Please Ponder this - if Donald Trump can make it all the way, then (Perhaps) ANYONE else can, perhaps even - Me.

I BELIEVE in - RIGHTEOUSNESS, - TOTALLY, IRRESPECTIVE of - MONEY.

Obviously, money is Important And NECESSARY, but NOT EVER, to the Detriment of - PEOPLE. (There MUST be NO Exceptions to this - FUNDAMENTAL Principle. EVER).

Indeed, THIS Principle was one of the Precursors of the - DECLARATION of Independence, And the – CONSTITUTION.

Follows is My (General) Outline (Encompassing Several Issues) which Are Essential - in Order to Achieve Prosperity and Fairness - To ALL, and To UNIFY Our - PEOPLE, And HEAL The HEARTS And Souls Of The Nation, AND Its – PEOPLE.

I Do Not Have The Necessary Resources To Do So On MY Own.  However, With - YOUR Help, I Would Like To Tell This To ALL of The People of Our Great Nation (and Beyond).

I Therefore, Respectfully, Would Like To Apply For The Position Of The Office Of The President Of The United States Of America, And To Likewise, Offer My Services/Abilities In That Capacity.

With Respect For Said Office:

Thank You Very Much,

• • Alan Lee.

SECTION 1

REQUIREMENTS And QUALITIES TO BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

The plain and Simple Truth is that the Requirements (as put forth in the Constitution) to become President are EXTREMELY - MINIMAL

You do NOT need to be a Doctor, a Lawyer, or even a Politician.

You do NOT need to have held a Public Office or have EVER been Elected to - Anything.

You do NOT even need a College Degree, ANY College Credits, or ANY Specialized Training or Schooling at all.

You ONLY need to be over 35, lived in the US for 14 years, and be a Natural Citizen.

Rather Minimal Requirements - to say the least.

Let's talk about some other Qualifications I Possess - ABOVE those Minimal Constitutional Requirements.

It doesn't hurt to have a Master of Science Degree in INDUSTRIAL And TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT, with a Preceding BS Degree in BIOLOGY.

Back in High School, I took Many "Honor Classes", ALL HEAVY on - SCIENCE And, MATH.

I Have an Exceptionally "Well-Rounded" Education (from a Top University), Complemented with a Lifetime of BUSINESS Experience And People Skills.

In College, I took: STEM Studies:  PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, EARTH SCIENCE, SPACE SCIENCE, LOGIC, And MANY More.  In MATH I took Up to CALCULUS FOUR.

I Know HOW To Formulate - THEORIES.

To Varying Degrees, I Know HOW Things REALLY Work in the Physical World ALL Around Us, And - Even Inside Us.

In College, I took: "PEOPLE Related" Studies:  MANAGEMENT, SOCIOLOGY, PSYCHOLOGY, ANTHROPOLOGY, FINANCE, ECONOMICS, ACCOUNTING, And MANY More.

I HAVE Also Owned and Operated My Own BUSINESS for - DECADES so I KNOW - HOW to Deal with - PEOPLE.

It seems that I have Quite a few MORE Qualifications than the paltry THREE - listed in the Constitution.

Being a "bit" outdated in this regard, perhaps another Amendment to the Constitution is even in Order.

Be that as it may, I Believe that the President Should Also have Certain "Personality" Traits/Characteristics.

Some Examples are:   HONESTY, GENEROSITY, KINDNESS, FRIENDLINESS, CONSISTENCY, INTEGRITY, TRUSTWORTHY, LOYAL, HUMBLE, FORGIVING, EMPATHETIC and COMPASSIONATE, RESPONSIBLE, FAIR, SENSE OF HUMOR, INTELLIGENT, DISCIPLINED, CONFIDENT, ADAPTABLE, SELF AWARE, RESPECTFUL, CLARITY, SUPPORTIVE, etc., etc..

These are ALL things that Our PARENTS tried to instill in - us.

I REALLY Believe ALL of these thing are inside and part of  Most of - YOU.

It Also WORKED for Me.

I HAVE such Qualities, Thanks to My - MOM.

MOM, THANK YOU for Making ME (AND My BROTHERS, AND Our Children) - GOOD People.

My FAMILY And I - KNOW, RIGHT - from - WRONG.

I KNOW What is - IMPORTANT in Life, and what's "BS".

ALL of these Reasons Are WHY I am seeking the Presidency and for the Actual Existence of this Website.

SECTION 2

BRAINS Over Brawn

Two CRITICAL things that makes us DIFFERENT from ALL other life forms on our planet are Our BRAINS And Our HEARTS.

Of Course Money is - Important. Modern Civilization and Society could not exist without it. However, it is simply a TOOL. There is NO comparison between money and Our HEART. They are not even in the same Category.

ALL Decisions are SUPPOSED to be Made with our Brains, GUIDED by our Hearts.

If this Rule is followed, Money WILL follow as well BECAUSE the Decision was made using Our Brains AND Our Hearts.

Our BRAINS And HEARTS are Also, FAR Stronger than - violence.

When ALL other means fail, ONLY then,Violence, necessarily must be used as a LAST, FINAL, resort - Because the opposing party is either unwilling or incapable of using THEIR Brain or Heart.

                                        +              

  COMBINED, Are FAR More POWERFUL Than...

SECTION 4

OF The PEOPLE, BY The PEOPLE, FOR - The PEOPLE

• The Preamble of the Constitution - "WE The PEOPLE". 

• Lincoln's Gettysburg Address - "OF The PEOPLE, BY The PEOPLE, FOR - The PEOPLE".

(These Documents do NOT say: "We the almighty DOLLAR", or "FOR the DOLLAR Bill").

The (aforementioned) words are NOT supposed to be JUST - words, to be just repeated on occasion - with Little or No MEANING.

They are SUPPOSED to be a Framework for ACTION, for a METHOD of Government to be Actually INSTITUTED for the WELFARE Of - The PEOPLE.

THAT was the Original INTENT of the Founding Fathers who WROTE and Created the Principle.

All too often, Elected Officials - upon being sharply questioned about a decision they made, which the General Public finds to be GROSSLY Incorrect (and Often IMMORAL), defend their position by stating (employing a combination of Semantics and "Double Talk") to the tune of: "...the People Elected me to use my Judgment and that is what I have done..."

That "defense" is - INCORRECT.

Elected Officials (Congress) has the Legal Power and Authority to CREATE Bills.  However, the INTENT of the "Founding Fathers" was for the PEOPLE to DECIDE - WHICH Bills Actually BECOME - LAW, For the BETTERMENT Of - The PEOPLE.

As Originally Intended, This Power Belongs to - The PEOPLE.

In Ancient Greece, (Athens specifically), Democracy was more Direct, Simpler, and Pure.

With minimal levels of Government (as compared to modern times), the PEOPLE had more of a DIRECT Connection with Government and therefore had more of a say with HOW decisions were made.

Thanks to Modern Technology, it is Not too late to "Reinstate" this method (at least in part).

I propose to Hold News Conferences on TV, Radio, and Online - Very Often (if not Regularly).

The Primary Purpose of these Conferences will be for Me to EXPLAIN the pros and cons of Issues Critical to - THE PEOPLE.

I will also give them my opinion on which option I, (AND my Advisers Think Best).

I will use - Graphs and Charts to - SHOW How things Work, or DON'T Work.

Very Shortly following said Conferences, We Will Request Surveys/Polls be taken by Various Organizations, "Think Tanks", and others.

These Organizations will be OBJECTIVE, NONpartisan, and INDEPENDENT Agencies.

Perhaps some will be chosen from the Far "Right", AND the Far "Left". If so, the Results from these extremes will be "Averaged Out" and incorporated into the Results from the NONpartisan Groups.

This approaches a more Direct Democratic Method (as referenced to above) and is a Truer form of an ACTIVE/PARTICIPATORY Government.

- OF The PEOPLE, By The PEOPLE, and FOR - The PEOPLE.

Yes, WE The - PEOPLE.

The - Original INTENT of The Founding Fathers Was For The - PEOPLE To - DECIDE On The Issues. 

Through The Power Of Social Media, And TV, And Radio, And Surveys, And Polls, And Independent/Nonpartisan Organizations, And Think Tanks, And Traditional News Media - This Can Now Be Easily Accomplished, In a Very Short Period of Time, And Even Repeated As Many Times As Is Needed.

DEDICATED FORMULA For ACTIVE/PARTICIPATORY GOVERNMENT

1. The Government has Always Tapped into and Utilized Various Organizations to Investigate and Find Solutions to assorted problems. I will simply EXPAND upon this Idea. Such Organizations (Think Tanks, Research Centers, Universities, Government Agencies, "Watchdog" Organizations, and Non-Partisan Groups) Will Evaluate Issues and Determine - SOLUTIONS. 

2. My Team Will sift through those results and break them down into the TWO - Best Solutions.

3. We will then - Evaluate and Present both and Recommend the BEST one to the People. (This part will actually be Determined by ALWAYS using the SAME, REPETITIVE Criteria - Asking the SAME TWO Questions of Each Solution):

A. Will it HELP - A Lot of PEOPLE?

B. Will it HURT - A Lot of PEOPLE?

4. I Will Present those Results (With easy to understand Charts and Graphs) Online, on TV, Radio, and through (In Person) News Conferences with the Press - Recommending that ONE Solution. 

5. Similarly to number 1 (above), for Many Years, Surveys and Polls have been Routinely made by the Media. Again, I will EXPAND upon this. We Will perform INTENSIVE And EXTENSIVE Surveys and Polls of People to get - THEIR Opinion of which one to choose. 

6. THAT Choice Will be Presented and STRONGLY Recommended to Congress AS - The PEOPLE'S Choice. 

7. If Congress Will NOT Abide by the Decision OF - The PEOPLE, then - I Will go BACK Online, on TV, Radio, and Hold (NUMEROUS) In Person News Conferences indicating such while SIMULTANEOUSLY, PRESSING And RE- Emphasizing the ORIGINAL Choice of - THE PEOPLE. 

8. YOU, The - PEOPLE, Will then "Speak" to Congress (in Various Ways) and "Express" Your "Disapproval" with THEIR decision to OPPOSE - YOUR Choice.

9. If Congress refuses to ABIDE by the DECISION and the WILL of - THE PEOPLE, that will be considered a DIRECT VIOLATION of the Original INTENT of The - CONSTITUTION ("WE The - PEOPLE"), and as such those members of Congress will be invited to pursue a different Profession as they will be removed from office via the POWER of The - VOTE.

SECTION 5

The GREATEST, MOST ADVANCED, STRONGEST, PROLIFIC, CREATIVE, INDUSTRIOUS, PROSPEROUS, AND - PROFITABLE Nation On The Planet

The United States is ALL of the above - And MORE Because of Two Primary Reasons.

1. The Founding Fathers Created a System where ANYONE And EVERYONE, is ALLOWED to - THINK and EXPRESS their IDEAS - to ANYONE, ANYWHERE, at ANY TIME - WITHOUT fear of any consequences, repercussions, retribution, incarceration, or punishment of ANY kind.

WE Are FREE to THINK and CREATE - New IDEAS, AND Ways to SOLVE Problems.

This is in Stark Contrast with Far too many other countries who STILL practice various types of:   AUTHORITARIANISM, BARBARISM, DICTATORSHIPS, TERRORISM, "ETHNIC CLEANSING", TYRANNY, DESPOTISM, GENOCIDE, and VIOLATIONS of ALL Manner of Human RIGHTS.

2. (With the exception of Native American Indians), Our Nation is One HUNDRED Percent Composed of - IMMIGRANTS, from virtually - EVERY Country on the Planet.

You may not be aware but the United States is starting to encounter a Problem that we have never experienced before.

It is a - Demographic Problem.

Simply put, there are starting to be too many older people in the country and not enough working age people.  Thanks to - SCIENCE and MEDICINE, people are living far longer than ever.  At the other end of the spectrum, younger people have been putting off having children until they themselves are older, which has led to a Below Average - birth rate.

These two forces combined are about to become a - MAJOR Problem.

Without enough people - WORKING, there will Not be enough funding for the programs that SUPPORT and PAY for the older people (programs like Social Security and Medicare   for example.)

If there are not enough people to Actually - WORK, the  Economy as a Whole will suffer.  This could cause a Recession of a type we have Never seen before, possibly lasting far longer than the types we have experienced in the past.

The Obvious Solution is to get MORE - People.

Everyone here is ALREADY an Immigrant, descended from people from other countries so we simply continue that pattern.

We Need - MORE People.  Young, Healthy People of WORKING Age.

The people who would come here from other countries want to come for EXACTLY The - SAME Reasons that brought YOUR (original) Family here:

• Freedom of - Expression

• Freedom of - Religion

• Freedom from - Poverty

• Freedom from - Diseases

• Better - Living Conditions

• Freedom from - Oppression, Violence, and Conflict

• Freedom from - WAR

• Freedom from - Recurring Natural Disasters

• Access to Better - Healthcare

• Access to Better - Education

• Access to Better - Jobs

• Access to a Better - LIFE, for Themselves, AND for Their - CHILDREN

Bringing in more People would actually Solve - FOUR  problems simultaneously.

1. It SOLVES Our Demographic Problem.

2. It Would INCREASE the Tax Base, providing Literally - BILLIONS of Additional Revenue that the Government sorely needs in order to provide services and EXPAND Our Economy.

3. It Would INCREASE the available supply of - CREATIVITY and New IDEAS.

4. It Would END the SUFFERING of - INNUMERABLE People, Including CHILDREN.

There is actually a "Military/Defense/Psychological" type advantage as well.

"Size-wise", (in actual square footage) the United States is one of the - LARGEST Country in the World.

However, population-wise we are Not even close.

China is only a bit smaller than we are but they have - FOUR Times our population.

India is a good amount smaller than us but still has about - FOUR Times our population.

Every Country on the Planet knows that WE have the BEST Military Equipment AND - MORE of it (overall) than anyone else.

If we had a population to Match the Might of our Military Equipment, it (and We) would be even more Intimidating to our foes than we are at present.

DIFFERENT Kinds of People have DIFFERENT Perspectives and DIFFERENT ways of THINKING.  They Approach Problems from DIFFERENT points of view, and Therefore CREATE DIFFERENT, UNIQUE, and ORIGINAL ways to SOLVE Problems and THINK of NEW and INNOVATIVE IDEAS, All of which Leads DIRECTLY to - GROWTH and PROSPERITY of Our ECONOMY, and of the ENTIRE Nation. 

SMALL Businesses, MANY of which are CREATED By - IMMIGRANTS account for FAR MORE BUSINESS CREATIVITY And GROWTH than large existing corporations.

This has enabled us to Start New Businesses, Make New Inventions and Machines, Think of New Procedures, New Technologies, New Techniques, New Materials, New Processes, - the list goes ON and ON...............

IMMIGRANTS have made us what we are Today BECAUSE - We  ARE Immigrants (by Virtue of Our Parents, Grandparents, or even Great Grandparents).

Virtually EVERY Family in the United States, IS - an IMMIGRANT Family.

My Family for example, my Grandparents, originated from:  Austria, Poland, and England.

THAT is what has Made Our Country the UNIQUE POWERHOUSE it is – with ABSOLUTELY NO peer on the Planet BECAUSE - WE are the ONLY Country Made ENTIRELY of DIFFERENT Types of People with DIFFERENT, UNIQUE, and INNOVATIVE ways of THINKING - IMMIGRANTS.

Therefore, I Propose making some changes to our Immigration Policy.

The Current Vetting Procedures allowing People to initially come here are Pretty Tough.

There is therefore No reason to change them.

However, although the Current "path to citizenship" is also fairly rigid, I Propose to make it a bit more Demanding. 

1. ALL able bodied People of Working Age Should be REQUIRED to either have Full-Time Employment OR they Should be REQUIRED to Join Our - Military.

2. ALL Children Should be REQUIRED to Register for School, Full-Time.

The tougher Requirements for EMPLOYMENT, The MILITARY, And EDUCATION Will Ensure that these People Will Contribute to Our Economy AND Add STRENGTH to Our - MILITARY.

This Should then be followed by Significantly Increasing the number of Immigrants allowed into our Country - AS LONG AS they can PASS our Tests and Vetting.

These changes will allow "New Blood" into our Country, with NEW and FRESH - IDEAS which will STIMULATE the Economy, GROW NEW Businesses, INCREASE CREATIVITY, etc., etc., (All as listed above) which leads to INCREASED PROSPERITY for - EVERYONE.

An Additional "Bonus" is the fact that these new people will Pay - TAXES, once again ADDING to our Nation's GROWTH.

In Recent years there have been over 1 Million Immigrants legally entering the U.S..  Using conservative figures, round that down to just 1 Million.   For a typical Family of four, that translates into 250,000 Families who Pay - TAXES.

The average Family pays about $10,000 per year in Taxes.

Ergo:  250,000 Families Multiplied by $10,000/yr. = $2.5 BILLION - EVERY Year Being PAID By - (New) IMMIGRANTS.

If the number of Immigrants were allowed to triple, that would bring in $7.5 BILLION/yr..  Quadrupling the original amount would bring in $10 BILLION per year.

Steve Jobs, the CREATOR of APPLE, has Syrian DNA. Imagine that - of ALL places? (His Father was from SYRIA). 

ALBERT EINSTEIN, Justin  Bieber, Mila Kunis, Henry Kissinger, Rihanna, Tony Parker, Rupert Murdoch, Elon Musk, Salma Hayek, Eddie Van Halen, Andrew Carnegie, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Patrick Ewing, Dave Matthews, Joni Mitchell, Neill Young, Jim Carrey, Sophia Lauren, Gloria Estefan, Cary Grant, Arianna Huffington, Levi Strauss, Bruce Willis, Pamela Anderson, Ann-Margret, Elizabeth Taylor, John Lennon, STEPHEN HAWKING. There are no doubt Countless other examples.

In the animal world, animals Must ADAPT or die.  They Adapt BECAUSE their World, their Environment is Constantly Changing.

Our world is CONSTANTLY changing as well.  Just compare Your Life, Daily Activities, and Lifestyle to that of 100 Years ago, 50 Years ago, even 20 or even only 15 Years ago.  There is NO comparison.

Things CHANGE - Therefore (as our animal friends have done), WE must ADAPT as well.

There is no reason to fear change.

A Rather Famous Person Once Said:  "The Only Thing We Have To Fear Is Fear Itself".

- PRESIDENT Franklin Roosevelt

If we make INTELLIGENT Choices, USING our BRAINS And GUIDED By Our HEARTS, then Prosperity for ALL will follow. 

Yes, that's me - Alan Lee.

SECTION 6

PROPORTIONALLY/PRORATE TAX THOSE WHO HAVE PROSPERED FROM OUR AMAZING SYSTEM

On a Very Personal Level, I have been in Business myself for - Decades.

I Also Have a MASTER's Degree - IN Business.

Therefore, I would Not propose "bankrupting" the Affluent or anything even remotely close.

That is ridiculous.

They EARNED what They have.

It is THEIR money.

However, (unfortunately) there are those who have not been as fortunate, and who need help.

The Affluent Have the Resources and can easily afford to help these People - WITHOUT affecting their lifestyles in the very least.

It Also happens to be the HUMANE Thing to Do.

When possible, We are Supposed to HELP Each Other, not Hurt each other.

There are Approximately 12 MILLION, Millionaires in the United States.

There are Approximately 550 BILLIONAIRES in the United States for a Combined Net Worth of:  $2,500 TRILLION.

There are Approximately 15 MILLION Families with an Income of $100,000.

(UNFORTUNATELY), MORE than HALF of ALL Families have an income LESS than $30,000.

(It has varied slightly but You can pretty much count - ME in that category too).

There is Therefore NO need to increase taxes for the typical American.  In Fact, Their taxes can be - DECREASED.

As You can see, there are A Lot of people in the US making A LOT of $.

These People have Reaped the Rewards of our Free Economy. They have MORE than Enough to keep their Family, AND Their Children's Family, AND MANY Generations of Their Family...........FAR More than "well cared for", pretty much - Forever.

It is well past time that they pay back into the Same System that Treated them So Well and Enabled them to Acquire such Affluence and Prosperity.

They CAN afford to - AND They will STILL be making money for themselves, and LOTS of it.

Of Course I do Not propose "bankrupting" the Affluent or anything even remotely close.

That is ridiculous.

They EARNED what They have.

It is THEIR money.

However, (unfortunately) there are those who have not been as fortunate, and who need help.

The Affluent Have the Resources and can easily afford to help these People - WITHOUT affecting their lifestyles in the very least.

It Also happens to be the HUMANE Thing to Do.

When possible, We are Supposed to HELP Each Other, not Hurt each other.

(I believe I said this already).

If those Families making $100,000 paid $3,300 MORE than they currently do from their annual incomes (which is ONLY 3.3%), that would provide an additional $50 Billion per year.

(I have seen slightly different figures) but to subsidize the Affordable Care Act, taxing the Wealthy (those incomes above about $250,000) provided approximately $350 Billion over 10 years, which is $35 Billion per year.

If the same People were taxed for triple that amount, this would provide funding (as is) for the Affordable Care Act, AND and Additional $70 Billion per year.

In addition to this, if Billionaires Alone paid (on an income based sliding scale), on average, approximately $100 Million each MORE than they currently do from their annual incomes, (which would STILL leave them with HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of Dollars), that would provide an additional $55 Billion.

A Grand Total of $175 BILLION per Year.

These WEALTHY, AFFLUENT Families Can - EASILY afford that as $175 Billion is but a DROP in a bucket compared to Their Net Worth of $2,500 TRILLION.

However, an ADDITIONAL $175 BILLION - EVERY Year, can Help quite a bit when applied to such things as:  Our Crumbling INFRASTRUCTURE, POVERTY, Increasing Funding for SCIENCE, MEDICAL RESEARCH, EDUCATION, FIGHTING TERRORISM, The ENVIRONMENT, DRUGS, - the list continues.

Analogous to taxing wealthy individuals/families, if this principle were applied to Corporations, they could likewise - easily afford it.

To them, it would once again be just a "drop in the bucket".

Infrastructure - Old Bridges and Tunnels (with Major Cracks in the Concrete, Rivets popping out, and Metal Fatigue).  Antiquated Railway Systems (Track, Cars, and Stations).  Outdated Airports (Terminals, Runways, Service Areas, Control Towers, Parking Areas, and Shuttle Buses).  Inefficient Harbors and Ports (Terminals, Loading/unloading Equipment, and Service/Auxiliary Boats). Antiquated Sanitation Systems (Sewer Systems, Landfills, Filtration Facilities, Recycling Centers).  Outdated Electrical Grids (Wires, Transformers, Transmission Towers, and Generating Stations).  Undersized and Antiquated Roads Systems (undersized and Sparse Highways, Bridges, Tunnels, and Overpasses, potholed Roads).

I Previously also Mentioned:

CLIMATE CHANGE

SCIENCE Research 

MEDICAL Research

EDUCATION

POVERTY

TERRORISM

ENVIRONMENT 

DRUGS

Etc., etc..

ALL of these things are - VITAL to Our Economy And to the Health, Safety, and Well Being of Our - PEOPLE.

We can NOT Continue to "kick the can down the road" or "pass the buck" on these CRITICAL Issues ANY Longer.

As with everything else, these things cost - MONEY to fix.

As listed above, the average typical American is making LESS than $30,000 per year AND PAYING their Taxes.

These people can NOT Afford to pay ANY more (and there is NO need for them to do so).

I have heard that "money does not grow on trees".

If so, then there is Only ONE place left to obtain the funding for the above items - Those who can afford it.

• The - WEALTHY AFFLUENT

• Those - AFFLUENT CORPORATIONS

SECTION  7

SCIENCE

YES! - I BELIEVE in - SCIENCE!!

SCIENCE is a Systematic Method that Builds and Organizes - KNOWLEDGE, Through Testable Explanations and Predictions about - EVERYTHING in the ENTIRE, Universe. - EVERYTHING!

There is also MUCH More than that.

How about MORE/BETTER:  JOBS, MONEY, TRADE, CARS, PLANES, TRAINS, SHIPS, HOUSES, HEALTH,...........BETTER - LIVES.

WITHOUT War and other Human failings.

In Time, This WILL Happen - And we have Already made Substantial Progress in this Regard.

As a GROSS Understatement, it was really not that long ago when Germany was not too friendly towards The Jewish People.

In Stark Contrast, for MANY Years now, Israel AND Germany have been - EXTREMELY CLOSE Friends.

COUNTLESS INTERNATIONAL Organizations which UNITE Nations for the COMMON Good, for their MUTUAL Benefit have Also been around for Years.

The UNITED NATIONS, The WORLD Health ORGANIZATION, The Paris CLIMATE Accord, The European Space Agency, The INTERNATIONAL Atomic Agency, INTERPOL, The INTERNATIONAL Monetary Fund, The WORLD Trade ORGANIZATION, NATO.

The List goes on and on.

However, perhaps the Best Example is The European Union (irrespective of "Brexit" [a “temporary” aberration]), an AMAZING Accomplishment.

28 DIFFERENT Countries - UNITED (in 1993), with more than half a BILLION Citizens - with the Purpose being to "merge" Cultures, Economies, Government, Language, Religion, Health Care, Defense, - in order to IMPROVE overall Prosperity and People's – LIVES. 

This is ONE - Planet.

We are ONE - PEOPLE.

UNITED, We Stand. Divided, We FALL.

SECTION 11

PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE

This ENTIRE "Essay" is Based on me trying to figure out the Best ways to Help - PEOPLE.

If YOU have better Ideas - No Problem.

It IS a FREE Country.

As I said (WAY above), EVERYONE in the U.S. is Entitled to Say or do - ANYTHING they want, as long as they don't hurt anyone else or infringe upon THEIR Rights.

Please let me know YOUR thoughts!

Thank You! - Alan.
