Where Do We Begin

America is a nation created for the people and by the people.  We now have a government that is not interested in its constitutional mission (as described in the preamble) of "promoting the general welfare" of its citizenry. Instead it's interested in promoting corporate welfare. 

Presently, nearly all of our national issues can be described in two ways; what is good for corporate balance sheets and what is best for our citizenry.  Presently at every juncture, our government chooses corporate profits.  This takes the form of actual cash support as well as an invisible corporate tax upon americans.

How does this invisible tax work? If I eat the fish my boys and I catch in the bay, it's likely that you could tell the temperature from looking at our abdomens. (mercury levels...) Companies dump their waste in our waters and in our air.  We are told that it would be too costly to clean these byproducts.  But, I never agreed to drink poluted water to keep GE extremetly profitable. 

Govenment needs to be fact based and science based and must focus on the remedies that truly benefit the health and wellbeing of our citizens
