Human Rights Capitalism - Change in America is already happening, for
better and worse. Your beliefs and actions will decide whether our country
works in the interest of all Americans, or just the powerful and wealthy. Human
Rights Capitalism is the non-partisan statement of the Agreement among We, the People and the Sacred American Pledge that America was founded
upon as set forth in the Declaration of Independence by our founding fathers. We
must follow it to ensure a strong, unified, and prosperous America. Let us
begin to achieve these goals by reading and understanding Human Rights Capitalism.
Young and old, Democrat and Republican, wealthy, working class and poor, there
is one thing we all agree on: we want a bright future for America. If not for
ourselves, then for our children and loved ones.
However, our once steady optimism about our nation’s future has
crumbled into uncertainty and fear. Many of the young struggle to gain
employment and are burdened with heavy student loans. Older generations are unsure
about whether they’ll have the resources to support themselves in their golden
years. Worse, our government no longer seems to be run by or for the interest of
the entirety of its citizens. A recently published Princeton study by Gilens
and Page shows that policy making in the United States is far more dependent on
“the preferences of economic elites” than those of average citizens. These are
not temporary trends, and they show no signs of abating on their own.
The above points are made not to cast villains or blame. (Raising our
pitchforks will never be the answer). Rather, it is to show that deliberate and
directed change must take place, lest we tumble into a further state of division
and disarray. Thus, the question that we must ask as citizens today is not, “Must
we change?” but, “How must we change?”
There is good news: we already have the answer. In fact, it’s tested,
proven, and we have already agreed to it as American citizens. It’s Human Rights Capitalism.
Putting Human Rights Capitalism into practice does not entail a change
in our system of government. It doesn’t need a certain political party to be in
power. It simply requires us to fulfill our Sacred American Pledge (of our
lives, fortunes, and sacred honor), just as every generation prior to us has.
Change will then happen slowly, then suddenly. It is not to be feared,
but directed as a means towards building the nation we seek. But to secure the
rights and futures of everyone, it must begin with Human Rights Capitalism. By
living up to our Sacred American Pledge, we will not crumble as a people
divided, but as a nation united in its being and purpose for all of its
citizens.
Ultimately, the challenges we face boil
down to a single question: “Are we
fulfilling our original promises to each other, as reflected in our original,
immortal Agreement among We, the People of America?” Reading Human Rights Capitalism is the proper starting place to learn the answer.
