More Than Just Musings #15 CRISES OR A CRISIS Do we have CRISES involving poverty, homelessness, housing, drugs (illegal and prescription), mental health, justice reform, immigration and demographics, wage/wealth disparity, legacy versus meritorious rewards, social security, public education, morality/situation ethics, health care, fair and adequate tax reform, gun violence, climate change and campaign finance reform? Or, do we have a CRISIS of our Democracy, a crisis that if resolved would make all CRISES above solvable? Despite our efforts to screen and support our candidates for office, we end up with elected officials who ignore our concerns and support special interests -- all designed to protect their incumbency, garner power, and enhance their financial status. Do we elect the wrong people?
Do we elect the "right" people but place them in an impossible situation?
Short of complete campaign finance reform with RICO (The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) penalties, the CRISES will remain unresolved. Support the 28th Amendment.
