Wanting a better life is progressive (#2074)

Don't over think what you want. Keep it simple so that it always makes sense. It is in the making sense that we can find our purpose. Too many powerful people try to tell us that things can't change because some disaster or some greater harm will come to us if we do. That is fine and well with them since things staying the same always seems to benefit them and continue to harm us. No one is entitled an unlimited benefit at the expense of others. New ideas about our society are needing to be implemented on a consistent basis despite those who try to keep us from progressing with a better future. The response to them should always be no. A big fat no! Their selfishness at our expense cannot be tolerated. Not only should we demand a better future for ourselves but even more important is a better future for our children. Their future has to be the greatest priority in our lives. We must then move from obsolete and harmful illogical practices and instead create more efficient and enlightened process that work within the innovative mechanisms of our society. What always holds us back are the wealthy who control the reins of the current outdated processes that cause more harm than good. We, collectively, must force them to the change that the rest of us see as inevitable for the health and welfare of our citizens and our great nation. Capitalists serve a function within our society and their motivation is admirable to a point. But once the point has been achieved, if capitalism doesn't adapt, it then becomes a drag on progress since it is much too resistant to change. It focuses far too much on profit margins and doesn't focus much at all on adaptation to new realities. Since capitalists feel less need to protect the progress of our society, it becomes incumbent upon the majority of us who then need to force capitalists to modify and adapt at the risk of their own failure. Our democracy gives us that right and our right needs to be exercised through our vote.
