[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 636861, member: 2189"] The first step is asking the question. Also, winning the game doesn't mean it's right, don't make it wrong but doesn't mean it's right. Did America once not have debt? Have a strong monetary medium of exchange? Better system of education? Less violence? But you asked what are we doing wrong here. Why since the early 1800's has 2 things happened. 1) The state has grown bigger and bigger and bigger at an ever faster rate and 2) Wealth has grown but concentrated into ever small hands at a faster rate while the larger population has grown poorer and a diminshed standard of living and land wealth holding among the common people. And #1 and #2 are not unrelated to each other at all! Go back to the early 1800's and come forward looking at the actions of gov't and it's growth, who benefitted from those gov't actions and what happened to the wealth in the process. There's your start and don't think you'll answer in a few days, few weeks or even months but at some point if you are honest and use moral and ethical beliefs as a guide, the gears will click and a picture will emerge. Then it's up to you about going from there. [/QUOTE]
