Do americans like the gap of fifty billion dollars between the richest and poorest citizen? It seems that the majority of the people is not well represented by a Congress that allows such. And Obama appears unable to change it if not unwilling because he himself is a millionaire. Man is a social being and international charters of rights clearly state equal access to spiritual an material progress.
Once a boy at the lake of Tiberias offered his five pieces of bread and two fishes with which Jeso prepared good meal for many thousands. Good deeds generate plenty. People wanted to make him king and never experience economic recession or so anymore. They were not ripe for what God obviously aims at: becoming really human and not an automate or zombie with giant belly. Which needs participating in good and bad for proper evolution.
Is it stupid not to get rid of superfluous money in time? Before death which may come suddenly. Because too much money enslaves other people, limits their chances and ultimately causes violence. In ancient times leaders of the Israelites were quite aware of this and to cope specified law was introduced compelling to reshare production means - then only land- in order to give new opportunity to the looser but especially to provide equal starting positions for youth. The number forty in the Bible often denotes a full period. P.e. no one may be hold prisoner longer than forty years; man changes! So that sharing law was rather lenient. Today resharing should comprise better and lesser jobs as such is of major importance for personal situations, including income. The recent economic crisis originated because the White House liked everybody dwell in a nice house but forgot to enforce sharing of jobs that generate income.
There are more rules in the Bible that have to be obeyed strictly: the Ten Commandments allow sabbath to cattle, not producing in the sheds of bio-industry without sun or rain but roaming around at leisure. This brings to modern perception stating that every animal under human controll shall have sufficient natural space to fly, run or swim for at least three seconds. Another Commandment is that thou shallt not want the ox of the neighbour. For he needs it to plough. Otherwise there won't be harvest from his land. Multinationals try to get all oxes in their stable. At old Pentecoste first products of the new harvest were handed out. An allright capitalist first fills own pockets. How inspiring is also to leave for the poor and the wild animals what during the harvest falls to the ground, as is told in the story of farmer Boaz falling in love with beautiful Ruth.
In this century we must devise new ways to share, for society got more complicated. Optimal wealth of a country is reached when everybody delivers contribution according his or her gifts. A civilised society does not allow millionaires to become parasitic. But individuals often do not posess sufficient spiritual strength to behave in agreement with theory. Part of theory is that man was not created to become a wolf. Really free market functions only in a satisfying manner when everybody has the same amount of greed. Such definitely is not true, which enables the stronger and cunning to a portion bigger than called honest, honest like in a family where the parents abstain from devouring their children's meals. The american, the british, the dutch, the french societies have piramidal character with a top eager to do what a good french king was to prevent: the elite taking as much as possible if not all and leave little to the peasants.
Parliament members receive high salaries from the Treasury and next promote interests of own financial class best. Radical change, bringing the majority of the people to real power, demands halving those salaries. This is essential in the USA to get a society as mentioned in the Constitution, next to resharing better and worse jobs that reduces unemployment to zero. A third measure of well functioning government requires some mental cleaning of the very rich. They must acknowledge that force of law, good law of course is meant, always has to be stronger than the power of money. Taxation to redistribute is an efficient neutral method handled by the government. Personal oversized capital thus can be transferred by say 5% per year to coco (collective, cooperative) enterprises or the Treasury. With excemption for what is accrued by own labour in that year. Reflect also on material aspects of the universal Declaration on human rights: this implies that everybody has a right to own a minimal place to dwell or stay without others drawing money from it.
Neither Obama or the other candidate for presidency have shown any vision on the essentials explained above. That reduces them to inferior candidates to rule from the white House. Add to this that Obama's lips firmly uttered support to nations that want freedom or autonomy but the Kurds, the Westpapuans are cheated. The world understands that american influence stops at the doors of Tibet because the chinese invaded, but why do so many american households depend on chinese products? Internationally it is unacceptable that an old nation like Israel, which lost controll over the territory for thousands of years due to foreign agression, is threatened by newcomers, palestinians who never had an own nation and for a big part were immigrants during turkish rule. If a quarter of the population inside 1967 lines is arab then why not should be a quarter of the population on the Westbank and in Gaza be jewish? For egoists with too many children a new metropolis south of Gaza is possible. A true moslim seeing the flowers in the fields knows that Creation is marvellous. In science first cause is completely unknown; in religion It is called God. We think It is a He or a She because superior, but not appearing on television because then man's free choice would be gone. Meanwhile for a nice car one should not pray but go to the dealer. The president of the USA is from the people. If you want someone better than Obama or Romney just fill in his or her name when voting as a solid statement. After which the national community that organises law can take the necessary steps.
