struggling in the U.S. while the cash continues flowing to the few. This
situation is particularly dire on our young people who are facing the mentality
of ever increasing costs on virtually every commodity, including massive school
loans.<span></span></p>

we need ideas from all perspectives, not just from those that benefit every
time that more resources are extracted.<span></span></p>

keep open for those enterprising enough to have impactful and constructive ideas.<span></span></p>

tax them in the name of regulation. This may help your bottom line, power and
prestige in the short run but it will also handicap the flow of ideas, which is
far more valuable than any service your executives can construct to justify
higher rates.<span></span></p>
