I was thinking about the financial brouhaha that has been going on, and how it really points to the fact that we need a new paradigm in America. I have thought for a long time thatWal-Mart could help solve a lot of problems if it just actually cared for it's employees a little better. It is a multi-million dollar corporation and yet most of it's employees don't have health care. If I were the head of wallyworld I would pay my employees better or at least get them coverage. Look at Starbucks, it it no wonder that thier coffee is so damn expensive, they give all of their employees health care (yeah I know they just closed 600 stores but you get the point). So many of the pols in washington talked about the greed on Wall st. that I had to laugh. What about the greed in everybody's heart? Nobody wants to care for his neighbour any more. Shoot, I have friends that all they care about is making money, and they are great loving Christian people, but when it comes to governmental and political action they just want to make money themselves (and get bigger and better stuff) and let everybody do the same, for themselves. I just think that if we are ever going to solve some of the problems in this country, and maybe even spread the gospel a little, we need to change the way we do things. Like how this elaction is about ideals, lets make it about change, real change. Not like either one of the major candidates is talking aobut, but change the way we deal with each other. Change the way we conduct out lives. Then maybe jsut maybe the people at the top will change too. But the whole Reaganomics trickle-down theory has never worked, ever. Because people are greedy. That is capitalism at its peak performance: One winner, many losers, period. and untill Americans realize that the market economy is really the market way of life, nothing will change. Not politics, not education, not even religion. Power to the people!
