I really feel that America's citizens need more "certainty." [View All]

Right now, America's citizens are dealing with an uncertain "individual citizen environment." The ever-changing, careless, and unregulated whims of business interests make it difficult for Americans to plan their lives, take risks, and invest effort in the physical and social infrastructure of their communities. Why would someone buy or build a home, for instance, if their local corporation can arrogantly take jobs from the area at will and send them to India?

The Republicans are the party of appeasement. They think that by toadying to corporations and the wealthy classes, America will be left in peace. But business is about aggression, and the Republicans fail to understand the nature of that aggression. Republican philosophy, cloaked in fake bravado, is just surrender.

If businesses need certainty, then so do American citizens, and I don't hear anyone talking about creating certainty for citizens.
