Nine to One

Nine to One


“We hold this truth self evident, every American citizen, by that fact alone, deserves to be acknowledged with the quality of life that citizenship implies.”

When this nation was founded, it was based upon principles, which, for the entire history of man, had never existed. Concepts, which had always been against the law, became the law. Free speech, private ownership, the right to vote and choose Government of the people, by the people, and for the people, these concepts are remarkable.

It is the last part of the above statement that shows exactly why we do not have the quality of life implied by our ownership of this nation. Consider these words carefully, and you decide if I am wrong.

In this nation, “We”, are the Government, yet we fail to rule. Early in our history, our government took our possessions and gave them away. This was done without our truly grasping what had occurred. The fact that we are the government means we are the nation, and every natural resource within its borders belongs to us. As this is the case, when our government allowed select individuals to take control of our property for their personal advantage, our possessions were stolen. In other words, when any natural resource within the borders of our nation was discovered, a reasonable and fair portion of that discovery was ours, and should have been retained for our future usage.

I have always believed to the swiftest shall go the race, however, all deserve to compete. We owned these resources by our stewardship of the government, and to us should have accrued acknowledgement in the form of benefiting from our property. Instead, one-hundred percent was handed over for the benefit of the few. This is equal to a farmer planting a crop, and the government allowing another man to harvest, and profit from it.

How did this happen? It happened because we refuse to demand our rights. Perhaps we do not truly grasp the power of the second greatest writing ever produced in the history of man. That writing is our Constitution, and this writing scares those stealing from us. That fact is why it is constantly under attack, and as, “We the People”, it is our responsibility, and right to defend it by any means at our disposal. Let me explain the easiest and honorable method for accomplishing this defense.

It is accepted that ten-percent of our population controls ninety percent of our wealth, and after reading up to this point it is easy to see why. When I hear this claim it makes me laugh, I laugh because I am just an old country boy, and those words mean we out number them nine to one. Hell, that ain’t even a real fun fight. When we finally choose to do so, we can take whatever we need for our quality of life, and there is not a darned thing they can do about it. I want to be very clear here and say, I am not talking about equality of life style; I am talking about quality of life. God placed upon this earth his bounty for all of his creations, and to us he gave stewardship. This is fact, and yet a greedy few have managed to hide this fact through a system of slight of hand. The greatest and evilest of these slights is their intentional misdirection causing us to waste our time fighting among ourselves. Hatred is a trick, for if you look at all of God’s
creations, none are the same. Sameness was never his intent, and we must learn to
appreciate the diversity of man, not hate it. They have us so busy fighting among ourselves, while they profit, that we do not have time to see the truth. Every one of God’s creations, by the fact of that creation, deserves to be honored. If this is not done then we need to remove this portion from our pledge of allegiance, “One nation under God”, and I for one do not wish to do so.

Now, here is the honorable and easiest way to have what we deserve.

We have a nation of three-hundred-million citizens, the most of whom put up with a life of constant struggle for survival, and endless worry about their retirement, and medical care. “We are each and everyone responsible for the world we inhabit”, so let us take the steps needed to produce a kind, and honorable world.

I am going to put this in ideal form, but realize it can be done with as few as a thousand citizens. One-hundred-million citizens decide to take control of their lives and future. In order to do this they join, and decide to give up one pizza a month. Instead of that pizza, they put that money ($20) into an escrow account for development of business taking control of four areas of economy. These areas are, one. Insurance and Banking. 2. Food and Clothing. 3. Education. 4. Medical Treatment.

How this can be done should be clear when I show the figures after one year of feeding that escrow account.

One-hundred-million citizens X twenty dollars a month equal two-billion dollars a month, or twenty-four-billion dollars a year.

In one years time we have the resources needed to establish our own insurance company, and our own bank. Every citizen is issued one share of stock in these enterprises, and every year the profit from their operation is returned to a retirement account for the future security of these owners. This will, very quickly, become the largest insurance company, and bank in the world. Further earnings will accrue to the owners because every other company will have to get their insurance and loans from our companies. This earning is also divided equally and distributed into the retirement accounts of the owners.

Every individual who joins gets one share of stock, and receives this benefit; every company who borrows from our company, does not get a share. For them it is business as usual.

The continued input of twenty dollars, allows us to establish our own Wal-Mart like business, and to keep the profit from our everyday purchase of necessities for existence. Our insurance company can establish a comprehensive medical care plan for every person in this country. Imagine the amount of stress removed from our daily lives if we do this, in one generation, every American has the requirements for a quality retirement, and the resources needed for the advancement of their family. Unlike Social Security, these monies are fully inheritable, just like money in a savings account.

Yes, it is that easy.

Education, and Medical coverage are not needed to be profitable…they must be equal.

Yes, it is that easy, however, it is also just that complex. I fully understand the complexity required, and am willing to, for the beginning, to oversee the honorable founding of these enterprises. What do I expect for this effort? My expenses, one share of stock (the same as everyone), and a reasonable compensation. By reasonable compensation I mean reasonable, not some bloated, inflated, ridiculous sum. This figure would always be out in the open, and subject to your approval. I do not wish to run these enterprises, I am old, lazy, and enjoy my leisure, however I will stay long enough to insure quality people hold the reins, and quality controls are in place to assure quality people stay quality people. Ah, humanity you vex me greatly.

Had I designed this effort to be about me, instead of we…it would not work. Had it been done from the beginning we would not need to do this now. However, that is not the case, and it is our right, free enterprise, private ownership, and competition…the American way.

I was sixty-three when I completed my walk from California to Chicago, and during that journey, I spoke with countless citizens. Not one person felt in control, or that our Government was right. Well then, it is our responsibility, our right, to fix it, and I can see no other way. When we do this we gain a very powerful voice, and our wishes must be responded to, for if they are not we have your addresses, and will inform you. Then we can throw the rascals out. The benefits are legion, the result positive, and our voice becomes very loud. Stand up, you of the American Government, (we citizens), and take back your country, your lives, your future.




Sincerely, with unconditional love, and respect,
