GREED MUST GO.

It looks like 80% of Americans belong to the old school, for example that, labor laws, business regulations and restrictions must be removed or curtailed for corporate greed to go on as usual.

Or that the United States economy must remain the same as in the 1930s, when car manufacturing was the biggest industry and cars were made in America and Europe only.

There was a time when Japanese factory goods were thought to be inferior, but since after WW 2, most of the best engineering products in the world have emerged from the land of the rising sun. such as cars, cameras, television sets and other things.

Now, China, South Korea, India and other countries have joined what is called the industrial world, and they are competing for business with America and Europe.

Soon Africa and South America will join in the global economy with their own brands of manufactured goods for domestic and international markets.

In short, the world is rapidly changing, and the domination of the erstwhile powerful nations will diminish, as the status quo will tend to be a thing of the past.

Yet, it seems as if only a few people in America are waking up to know that history is organic and it does not revert into charting the same course, as it possesses an independent characteristic to move any where and in whatever direction it chooses.

If only most people can realize that for a fact, then the period the present world is navigating will not be a surprise at all; as every nation is working so strenuously to carve a niche for itself.

Nations do not want to remain in the dark, so to speak, where they will have to put up with mediocrity and inferiority by or from other nations.

Change is not coming; it is already here, and the sooner people begin to find a way to accept it, the more likely they will have a better chance to deal with it.

Of course the outsourcing of jobs has a part to play in the present economic trend, and technology or technological knowledge is spreading like wild fire across the world, and there cannot be a stopping to that, no matter how hard anyone tries to do.

It is synonymous to having a big pizza pie; you have to share it. You also have to know not to give yourself a bigger portion, as that will antagonize your friends.

The only mistake Americans can make will be in sitting in the past, thinking that history will revert itself. That will never happen, for from experience, as the world progresses, so are ideas and concepts of improvement; and they are the commodities that all nations want.

The conservative thinking is for America to stay in the past. It must speculate that everything will be the same always. Capitalism must be the stronghold of economies around the world, and that this country must be leading in that respect. However, that will be wrong. It will be as the old proverbial ostrich burying its head in the sand.

There is so much hypocrisy going on in the country, like when have the Republicans start to fight for the working people in America, for them to attach the Keystone oil project to President Barack Obama's payroll tax cut geared to improve the lives of the middle class and ordinary workers, even as temporary as it may seem?

They have always aspired to the chicanery going on in Wall Street, leaving Occupy Wall Street organizers to fend for themselves. That, if one is poor, one has no one to blame, but oneself.

Change has come, and wages of workers must grow, just as corporate profits increase each and every year. Standard of living must not be the opulent lifestyles of the rich and the powerful. It must be as simple as having "a chicken in every pot, and a Ford in every garage" for everyone.

Military power is alright. It is needed for protection from all kinds of enemies; as its advancement is vital to a nation's security.

Yet, greed must go, for safeguarding the interests of the nation at home and abroad to take its place; and then America will be proud and be able to lead the world as a good example.
