Change Just Doesn’t Happen
This economic crisis will give us an opportunity. We have an opportunity to change our broken economic system. This economic system has not worked for every American. Our current economic system is based on a terribly flawed philosophy that has failed us in this current economic crisis. This is not a matter of abandoning capitalism in favor of another economic system but it is about recognizing the shortcomings of our current system and changing it in a way that provides opportunities for all Americans. This needed change will not just happen. We have to make it happen.
More to come.
