Returning to basic work principles

The guiding principles of the nation have been eroded by the quick-fix microwave generation.

We have been amazed by the dreams of many, which leave us unconcerned with reality.

Many individuals who point out the dangers of wishful planning, with no
experience of proper execution, are deemed cynics. Current economic
times demand a realistic view of the world.

No one can afford to waste time on pipe dreams in exchange for pragmatic
solutions. The ideas currently circulating in our country are about as
worthless as the Fed-controlled currency that is in rotation.

It’s time for the supposed 99 percent to start creating real-life solutions and stop comparing themselves to anomalies within our society. Our society thrived in previous years due to the work ethic of the middle class. If we change the ethics of this country from the foundational building to the get-rich-quick, we will lose everything, and it will be nobody’s fault but our own.

Spiritual philosopher Vernon Howard once said, “All forms of self-defeating behavior are unseen and unconscious, which is why their existence is denied.” Throughout all history every great empire has been destroyed from the inside out. It is the virtues of these empires that have destroyed them.

The character of a nation is defined by its willingness to struggle for advancement. To go where we must, we must begin where we are. The principles sound basic, but that is exactly what this nation is missing. This nation must repay its debt by work, and not by more debt.

By becoming more simple, we will halt the self-inflicted destruction of our country. Simple moral principles in repetition is the equation of good character.
