Grace's Journal
Sitting in my last class on friday what I most want is some mac-n-cheese. The only issue is I've spent my weekly allowance on a new dress and now I'm broke.... I wish I had a job. I've never actually had to do any manual labour. It's not that I haven't tried, I think I'm just too awkward to work a job that has to do with talking to a lot of people. What kind of opportunities do people like me have? The economic imbalance in our economy has stripped people without much talent or higher education degree out of jobs that a couple decades ago could have fed an entire family.
Rough Outline
I understand that at the heart of capitalism it allows personal freedom and provides one with the American dream. The American dream which grants one the opportunity to make as much money one wishes in correlation to their drive. I understand that government interference in redistributing wealth with an aura of justice can be seen as a lack of freedom and bullying.
BUT
Large corporations have taken over the heart of capitalism which is small businesses and individual ownership.
Globalization
Large Corporations interfering in politics and media
Poverty rising and the low income families living in penury
SOLUTION
No extreme capitalism
Some cap on what corporations can and can't do
free market but checked so we don't find ourselves in a recession
