Angry Americans





Angry Americans are apparently fueling this crazy presidential election. Why the anger? It’s something we all work for: Money.

For fifty years, from 1950-2000, our economy grew at an average annual rate of 3.5%.  This means we got wealthier—from $16,000 to over $50,000 over person.

So what has happened since 2000? We’ve had 2% growth.  This means we haven’t had a pay raise in 15 years.









Democrats declare that it’s Wall Street’s fault, crony capitalists’ fault, the uber-rich one percent’s fault, and the fault of corporations who take all the tax breaks they can get. Their strategy involves imposing hefty taxes on them. But the rich take their money and run while corporations pass extra costs on to us.

Bernie Sanders is dividing Democrat loyalty, but it’s the Republicans truly feeling the burn. 




The GOP “Establishment” hopes to knock down the invincible Donald Trump. He claims he’ll make America great without giving much detail. 

Cruz is more specific as he vows to abolish the IRS and carpet bomb our enemies. Both want to bring back offshore jobs and the trillions in offshore banks.


Democrats and Republicans with different solutions for one nation with divided people.


But the reality is that fifteen years without any pay raise hurts. We ended last year with a paltry 1.9% growth. No wonder angry Americans are demanding drastic change.

During his presidency, John Kennedy (D) slashed taxes and the economy grew 40 percent. President Ronald Reagan (R) cut taxes and the economy grew by 34 percent.

Tax cuts worked for both parties. Unfortunately, our government and its costs have grown exponentially since then.

The next president better have some real solutions, because if our economy doesn’t improve, then nothing is going to change, and American anger could get even worse.

Counting the Cost

Image
Something big is missing in this photo. Let me explain. Here in my hometown, the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe prepared a parcel of land for a new hotel. Plenty of planning and architectural designs were evaluated. A gemstone of a hotel would be built across from the waterfront—a beautiful, restful place welcoming travelers. A true four-star facility.   They cleared the aging brick structures that had been fading away between Front Street and Railroad Avenue. Then the pandemic hit, shortages of labor and supplies, add in the costly inflation that followed. Everything stopped.   But this is what I admire about the Elwha Tribe: they have counted the cost. They didn’t want to move forward and take on tremendous debt. They would rather move slowly and be financially ready, rather than begin building and then letting it sit unfinished.   Counting the cost is something I should have done earlier in life when I didn’t know what high interest rates would do to our farming cost...

Summertime Music

Image
During the summer months, in an outside seating area, a delightfully painted piano sits with a sign that says, “Play me”.   It was just before 8 pm as I walked past the piano. My bus would be arriving soon, and I still have another ten minutes to walk before reaching my bus stop. But no one is around. It’s a beautiful warm evening. I pulled out the piano bench and sat down. The sun was behind me, and the piano keys reflected its glow. I had no music in front of me, only the songs within me. Notes drifted into the air.  In those brief moments, the magic of music and summer came together. Isn’t that how it is? Summertime music has a way of lingering in our minds and lasting a lifetime. As I stood and grabbed my things, I heard distant clapping—I guess I wasn’t alone, after all.

Planting Good Seeds

Image
Harvest will always depend on what we plant and how well we care for our crop.    Looking over my seed packets, I notice they’re different than the ones I planted before. One package is called Word seeds. The directions say that each of my words is a seed, so it cautions me to think before I speak. Harsh words don’t produce sweet, nourishing fruit. These seeds will require thoughtful care in the garden. I see some Volunteer seeds. Those extra hours I tend to fritter away are going to be planted in a useful project.   It looks like time isn’t wasted in this garden plot. Next are some Love seeds—the directions are interesting: get up each day and love others. No specifics are given—just do something for someone every day. The seed package shows pictures of smiling faces. I smile back. As I’m ready to head to the garden with my seeds, a package falls to the ground. I open it. Inside are the tiniest seeds I’ve ever seen—but the directions s...
