My hope for the new decade is that it will be the start of an upward climb out of the pit of emotional and economic despair this country has been experiencing.

We need huge changes on every level of society and in every facet of our daily lives. Let’s strive to make wiser decisions for ourselves and hope that the people we elect into office make a major paradigm shift in the way they represent us and our interests.

Small business and manufacturing have been the backbone of this country since day one. Unfortunately the piles of cash huge companies throw around has leveraged out the the individual capitalist, setting the stage for the last several decades of Corporatism. I suggest that we stop pandering to these mega-corporations that have pillaged and plundered this nation for the last fifty years and bring back true capitalism. Let’s tie these pirates up in rules and regulations to prevent them from continuing this rape of our home, and let’s free the individual by removing the barriers, taxes, red tape, and fees that have strangled the life out of us making it nigh impossible for an individual to work for themselves.

As a country and as a society we need more responsibility on the individual level and the freedom to make those choices. The last thing we need is another decade of big bureaucracy with communist/socialist delusions of of some quasi-utopia.  Let’s say goodbye to “politically correctness” and cut momma’s apron strings so we can grow up and start taking care of business.
