We're Losing our Democracy to a Breakdown in Leadership (It takes a Democracy to have Free Market Enterprise)

from The American Enterprise Manifesto: My America's Vision of Peace and Nonviolence for Humanism · host Jerry Rhoads

Is it a revolution, evolution or revelation? I feel it's all three.  Since World War II America has been on a mission to provide equal opportunity and equitable lifestyles to every citizen and everyone in the world that wants to better their lives.  The problem is we are being led to the promise land using money not opportunity as the culture.  So, our lifestyles mean more then our human values.  We're losing our American Dream version of Democracy.  Why? I believe it is leadership.  Since World War II, money-tics decides who will run and who will win to be our leaders.  If you agree what's the solution?  We've lost the focus of what the American revolution was to accomplish, and has to a great degree, freedom for equal and equitable opportunity.  Not to boil if down to race, religion, gender or nationality.  For some reason we have been divided and conquered in defending this principle.  Socialists, Marxists, Leninists,  Communists, Fascists, Constitutionalists, etc. all are attempting to rewrite American history to fit their failed solutions to inequality and inequitable treatment.    How can we get that American Dream focus back and integrate millions of immigrants wanting that opportunity and lifestyle into happy, healthy and prosperous supporters of our great American enterprise?  Our leadership must realize that this is a human need and when it is met we all on earth get what we want ... equal opportunity and equitable treatment under the Rule of Law.  I call this Humanism.  Is that too idealistic or is it an ideology that our founders invented with our constitution and democratic form of government?  Because our past and current leader's focus on either race, religion, gender, nationality or color takes America far off into those problems that are in fact solved by equal and equitable opportunity in our free market enterprises.   Where in fact and practice businesses bring monetary capital and human capitals together into a profitable enterprise every day of every week of every year ... this is capitalism and socialism working together to pursue the American Dream ... "equal and equitable opportunity".  In other words, we all have the opportunity to pursue being healthy, wealthy and happy in America the Bountiful.  The best examples of this type of great leadership towards those goals of opportunity are Jesus, Gandhi, Mother Thresa,  Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson and more recently Raegan, Thatcher, Gorbachev who all were humble in approach, effective in oration and action.   Instead of focusing on racism, capitalism, socialism, being opponents we should capitalize on our social need for humanism.  Why are now suffering from the lack of effectiveness in our leadership pursuing these goals?  First and foremost, it takes being a millionaire, a professor or an attorney to have a chance to get the notoriety to get past the name game of recognition to get elected  ... I call this the money-tics culture that prevents equal and equitable opportunity for political representation.  Secondly, the media that profits from this culture picks and chooses the candidates for the binary two party system that we all sustain by acquiescing our freedoms to money or IQ or political contacts.   When all we want is humanism that brings with it equal and equitable opportunity.  The solution, in my opinion, is a swing vote alternative in politics and humankind relations that I represent ... the American Enterprise party.   Will this be better than Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden etc.  Only time will tell but this is the first time that there is anew ideology put forth ... capitalism and socialism as partners in free market enterprise to defeat Marxism and is the solution to all the other isms.  www.americanenterprisepolitcalparty.org
