REALLY: WHAT ELSE ARE WE GOING TO DO?

 

Are we really going to wait until we are $40 Trillion in debt and our whole economy collapses for good? No. Are we really going to let politicians lie, cheat and steal and all live in mansions we got ripped off for? No. Are we really going to hand economic and social chaos to our kids to fix? No.

 

I mean really, what did you think was going to happen? Did you think I was going to wave a magic wand and restore everyone’s American dream overnight? Well I am, but I need 100 million to 300 million to wave the RTDNOW magic want with me by adding their names. And that’s why I wrote this song. The original title was Help Me Fix Our World. Fix Our World is a more memorable statement of what we will all do.

 

I turn 59 this October 2017.  So from age 20 when I was in college and became vaguely aware that nobody in government ever had clue how to run the American economy as interest rates reached 18%, I spent 40 years paying attention and waiting for someone to save us. NOBODY BUT YOU CAN SAVE US. That’s why things got worse and worse in America until we are 70% retail with half of all jobs minimum wage. YOU CAN’T LIVE ON MINIMUM WAGE IN AMERICA. That’s why 100 million are below the poverty line and 100 million hover above it. And 100 million that think they are middle class know that the economic bubble will burst again and they may lose their house.

 

And when it does burst soon again you will see what I’ve been pointing out in bonus material and podcasts. You can’t sell products to people who don’t have jobs. You can’t collect mortgage payments from people who don’t have jobs. Right now of $1 Trillion in student loans 70% can’t pay them. Do you know why our economy is imploding every 4-8 years and keeps getting worse? It wasn’t designed for the citizen: just the corporation. Our economic policy, what I want to flip flop, put the citizen on top and the mega global corporation on the bottom, was written by them for them. That’s why they pay little tax and whine forever about that and we pay 10-50% so our government can buy their services so they can take most of that overseas because the global market is 10 times as big as the US market. Simply, in economic terms, we the American people are enablers of abusive Corporateers who changed our economic policy to penalize the citizen (taxes and fees) and reward the corporation (tax breaks, bail outs, etc).

 

 

WHY I CAN GET ON A SOAP BOX AND RAIL ON ALL OUR “LEADERS”

 

Over 35 years in the lending industry I’ve written business plans and funded the growth of thousands of small businesses and created thousands of American dreams. Unlike all our business brain dead leaders, I know what makes a business make money. I’ve been a top salesman for the last 20 years and guess what? I have the lowest loan loss ratio.

 

Why? Because it matters to me that the entrepreneur succeeds. It matters to me that the bank has a good loan. It matters to me that we keep creating jobs here. It matters to me for several decades that America lives up to its potential and restarts its American Dream Engine.

 

You see, I was trained so long ago that we treated the money we lent like our own. I was trained so long ago that we asked a lot of question. I was trained so long ago that we added up all the numbers. I was trained so long ago that we met with our customers every 90 days and looked at updated projections and talked about the next 90 to 180 days and adjusted as needed. The banking industry got corporatized, commoditized and sterilized. Today we have a generation of smiling doorknockers. They have no idea what they’re doing and only want a commission so they will sell the heck out of bad loan. I don’t have to market because my customers know I care about them and they seek me out. They know I know that all their blood sweat and tears, and money, they put into their business, is usually everything they have. I want that to grow, even when the economy tanks, if a loan is structured well, it can survive and the business can survive.

 

I’ve turned around a bankrupt bank in record time. It was a lot of work, but policy wise not that hard. Why in the world we have to bail out Wall St. lunatics every 10 years with a few trillion dollars that is just a corporate give away. When you do half the job, you should only get half the profits. They take all the profits and we underwrite, pay, the half they didn’t account for. See my song False Prophets in album 8. Write in my name for president and I’ll make the banking industry work for the American people. And I’ll make that happen OVERNIGHT.

 

So I can get on a soapbox and rail on our leaders because I’ve read many of their biographies. They have no real feet on the ground training and no clue about small business; what creates 2 out of every 3 new jobs and American dreams. And I have boatloads of it. They put no effort or money into world-class education, which is what makes American dreams happen. Remember our 1st Declaration of Independence “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Pursuit of happiness meant advancement and advancement came from education. No good education = no American dream. And here we all are for 50 years getting robbed blind by government without a clue how to transform America. It’s not rocket science and not that difficult. The main problem is money in politics funded by corporations which push through their agenda and leave 300 million citizens behind.

 

As I recently read The World Is Flat by Thomas Friedman, a brief history of the 21st Century I finally understood why my finance professors, sharp guys, at Chico State in California, back in 1982, were from Indian and Pakistan. THOSE COUNTRIES INVESTED IN EDUCATION STARTING IN THE 1960’s!!! And while they suffered under a failed Soviet style economy, once the digital world reached them, they had the engine to drive their American dreams from home called the internet. They were educated; we were not. Look for the Indian and Pakistani names, and respect what they’ve done. They are leaders in Silicon Valley, on Wall St. But they did what we used to do EDUCATE OUR PEOPLE REALLY WELL. It’s time to fix our world and be us again.

 

BACK TO FIXING OUR WORLD

 

So it should be PAINFULLY obvious: nobody’s coming to save us. Nobody. Everybody who says they are changes their tune once in office, takes nice photos, lies really well, and retires with great pensions and lobbyist money because they skewed laws and policies to get the corporate agenda passed.
