POVERTY, AMEIRCA' INDUSTRY - THE PROBLEM BEING ADDRESSED

---

          Today, this resource is languishing in a wasteland where an economy, protected by a political order, controlled by the few, the rich, not answerable to the people, the many, operates to enrich and protect the few and the rich at the expense of the people, the workers, the many.

           The people, the workers, the many, of all types and appearances, are exploited, beaten down, to benefit the few with the few becoming fewer and richer while the many become more and poorer. The material worth of the many, the workers, is stolen, being given to the few, becoming fewer and richer. 

           It is time to change this by having those who create the wealth of this country retain the wealth they created as the true producers. To not have the wealth extracted from the many to benefit the few is an idea not new, but whose time has always been.

          The American worker is to be respected as a resource, materially and spiritually, an asset, the best there is exceeding our country’s abundant and rich natural resources.

          Since colonial days, government has been used as a tool by the rich, the few, the property classes, to become richer and fewer, advancing their lives at the expense of slaves, workers, laborers and the poor. 

          It is time to use the same government as a tool for the benefit of the American workers, the true producers, the many who get up at all times of the day and night to go out into the world to create and build an economy, the envy of the world, to protect and care for their children and families.

          The United States spends billions, perhaps trillions, of dollars to keep the workers, the laborers, the poor in a state of poverty to the point of being a Poverty Industry unto itself as important to the Gross National Product (GNP) as the steel industry, the oil industry, the technology industry, the munition industry and so on. 

          As there is a motive to keep the steel industry, the oil industry, the technology industry, the munition industry protected, there is a similar motive to protect the Poverty Industry, keeping the poor in a state of poverty, for it enriches the few, as the steel industry, the oil industry, the technology industry, the munition industry do, driving the GNP in an upward direction.  

          Instead of spending billions to keep the many poor, use these billions to build industry by, for and of the workers, the laborers, the poor, using the input of the many, the people, the workers, the laborers, and the poor, all of whom possess the talent and resources to contribute if given a chance, to grow this country for all. 

          Use these billions, spent to keep the poor in a state of poverty, making others rich within a strong and growing GNP, to grow the poor out of poverty, but not with give-away programs. Shameful, it is, to have food stamps, heat and rental assistance, monthly welfare payments in an economy being the wealthiest in history. Welfare keeps the poor in a state of deprivation benefiting the few, the rich. 

          Use America’s best asset, the people, to create industries producing goods and services with the profits going to those in proportion to their contributions while letting them have a say in the day-to-day life of the industries they created. 

           Do this by bringing the people into the capitalistic system, not forcing them into a give-away system, by making them property owners, owners of industry, the new captains of industry. Take these billions and create industry built on and around our best asset, the American people, the future of our country.
