I was fascinated with JFK mainly because my mother had requested that I read the book, PROFILES IN COURAGE... which I did and it changed my life, but not from the motivation that she had intended it to create. I stood up for what I believed which seemed to always go against the status quo.
I never joined a political party nor attended a political rally or convention. I began as a Democrat and was very much into social reform, realizing the conservative approach to life was better after receiving my MBA in 1981.
Social programs and reform is still desired but only if you can afford it. Our problem is that both political parties have protected the wealthy with tax shelters. If the wealthy paid their fair share of taxes, we could have all sorts of social reforms and not be in debt like we are.
Politics and Life are not complicated:
- Tell the truth - don't lie
- Everyone pays taxes - no exceptions
- Don't borrow money unless an emergency
- Everyone is entitled to a reasonable profit
- Greed is uncontrolled selfishness
- Respect others so they will respect you
- Be kind to animals
- Work to end poverty/homelessness
- No redistricting
- Do not weaponize the justice system
- No Censorship of any kind
