Economics, Equality, and Bringing America Back

Send us Fan MailAs many of you know I work in a high paying field and rub shoulders with many wealthy people. That being said, I didn't grow up around Wall Street or any other high powered field. I was an average American who took an interest in quantitative finance and ended up falling in love with statistics and economics. I tend to understand people from a variety of backgrounds because I wasn't sheltered in one group. This perspective has allowed me to understand some of the biggest issues America faces however it is very frustrating sitting in the middle. No one wants to be in the middle anymore as the rise of the internet has made it so easy to segregate people based off of race, religion, social status, wealth, politics, and many other random groups.We need to come together as a nation and embrace what makes America unique. The values of capitalism, family, freedom, and hard work seem to have become taboo as the new "acceptance of everyone" mentality continues. There is right and there is wrong but there is also a need for deeper discussions and debates on topics.Support the show
