Your Response to “Fake Wealth”

When I posted “Fake Wealth” late last week, I unleashed a torrent of wisdom from many of you who had thoughtful things to say about our hyper-consumption economy. You talk about the need for all of us to become financially literate and to think for ourselves. Most of all, many of you reflect the wisdom and judgment of an increasing wave of citizens who want America to become more than we currently are. I am impressed, and genuinely encouraged by your consistent, thoughtful comments and responses.

So, I am forwarding your comments along with the blog to the most popular Democratic and Republican Presidential Candidates to see if any care enough to respond. Has anyone out there got a real plan? Something more than easy platitudes, something clear, credible and compelling? We need a new American agenda. We shouldn’t be weakened by our laws and policies. We should be strengthened. Our history is clear. We are at our best when we both promote individual initiative while we also enthrone our united commitment to our common good. It’s not that hard to understand. It just takes courage and common sense to unleash our inherent virtue.

Let me know what you think. What are some ways we can amplify our voices?
