Excerpts from the
Declaration of Independence
July 4th, 1776
The Rally for Our Cause!
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another . . . We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed . . . That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness . . . But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
Are we not at such a crossroads in our country once again?
AND/OR
Now more than ever!
We need to be a
NATION OF INNOVATION!
THE STATUS QUO MUST GO!
COMPROMISE & CORRUPTION
BLOCK the very INNOVATION
WE NEED to solve our problems.
A conservative, smaller, reformed and innovative government.
It will take COLLABORATION, INNOVATION and HUMILITY to Solve Our BIG Problems!
We live in times of NONSTOP, EVERYDAY CHANGE!
INNOVATION rules in America's businesses, especially in our top tech companies.
INNOVATION takes COLLABORATION.
INNOVATION takes the HUMILITY to CHECK PRIDE at the door.
Just like companies must EMBRACE INNOVATION to succeed,
so must our government must do the same!
Our country is OVERDUE for an INNOVATION OVERHAUL!
We need to move from a 2-PARTY/POWER/MONEY-CENTRIC locus of control to one that is SOLUTION-CENTRIC.
WE THE PEOPLE need political leaders that are more than just PROMISE MAKERS
and GREAT PITCHMEN to lead our country! We need PROBLEMS SOLVERS!
WE THE PEOPLE MUST ALSO EMBRACE INNOVATION TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY!
We Need to Be a Nation of Innovation!
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 provided a total of $787 Billion towards tax cuts, entitlements (much for extending unemployment benefits), grants and some loans. What if these funds were invested into small business, rather than just handing out money to taxpayers (and corporate America) to buy big screen TVs?
Another 700 Billion (TARP) was loaned to bailout banks. How many jobs have these programs created? How many homes and businesses were saved? Unemployment is up since 2009 when President Obama took office (if one accounts for those that retired early or are underemployed).
Nearly all startups cannot qualify for a loan from a bank until after two years of revenues and profitability and therefore must rely on private investment, credit cards or savings. Seven out of 10 new employer firms survive only 2 years. How many new small businesses would still be in business if $50,000 - $250,000 were available to them? How many jobs would have been created? How many new jobs would have been created if 750 billion in loans were made available for startup and small businesses rather than TARP and ARRA? See below:
> 2.5 million small business' could have received $50,000 = 125 Billion
> 1.5 million small business' could have received $250,000 = 375 Billion
> 100,000 small business' could have received $2,500,000 = 250 Billion
With REST 100 - 200 billion/year could go to small businesses and startups to fuel their growth, create a million plus new jobs per year and invigorate the innovation our country needs to be competitive on a global basis. Over a decade, it could contribute 1.5 trillion dollars to job creation by small businesses and create 10 million new jobs.
Small businesses and startups employ over half the workforce and create most of the innovation and new jobs. Is this not what our country needs to invest their money in? If small business creates so many jobs why do we starve them? Issuing stimulus checks works as a steroid to artificially and temporarily solve the problem. But should our tax dollars be used to fund their growth? Is it not the fault of our corporate and government leaders and the SuperRich that got us in this mess? Of course "We the People" voted our representatives into office and must take some responsibility for doing so, but their opportunity to lead as they should have has been given due course of time and now is the time for REAL HOPE and REAL CHANGE! Rather than Welfare, most citizens just want to be fairly compensated and share in corporate profits that they were a big part of helping shareholders and top executives earn. There is another solution to fund small business innovation, job creation and jumpstart the economy. It is called the RevShare Everywhere Stimulus Tax Plan.
