Economic troubles.

You've probably heard a bunch of bad things about our economy. 17 trillion dollars in debt (unless it's 18 now), unemployment rates at their peak, teetering off the edge of a fiscal cliff, etcetera. Well, the debt isn't actually as big of an issue as it sounds. 17 trillion, that's a lot. But America is a $213 trillion income country, and 17 looks tiny compared to 213 no matter how much interest there is. Also, for every dollar we owe other countries (who buy our debt), other countries owe us about 89 cents. We could drop our buying of other countries' debt and use the funds to pay off our own and over time pay off 89% of it whenever Congress agrees on that sort of thing (so yeah, maybe a problem). That's a lot of the debt. However, unemployment is an issue, and the main thing keeping people unemployed is that the big businesses have a monopoly. Not a 'let Americans work for us' monopoly, either. More, 'let everything be made in China where we can pay people pennies when Americans would demand things like 'federal minimum wage.''
That's my main problem with big businesses.
Now, the economic problems small businesses face is that they can't afford to export their labor, but they can't afford to pay federal minimum wage to a lot of people, either. So, to be competitive, they have to have fewer people working for them, which makes it harder to compete with the big businesses getting this system just barely short of slavery overseas.
In case you didn't know this, the government spends a lot of money bailing out big businesses that do something stupid and start failing. The government spends billions clinging to the old system.
I say we take those funds and use them to give government help to small businesses, give them a chance to compete. Big businesses will have to lower their prices to stay competitive, which will help the common man. Small businesses will be able to hire more, which will help the common man. More people will get jobs and be able to pay income taxes and regressive taxes from, you know, being able to buy things. The government gets their money back without even demanding that the small businesses pay them back. Everyone wins.
Except for the big businesses, which have already had a good run as the most powerful system in America to date.
Now, I am not actually a big fan of Theodore Roosevelt. He pushed for an unnecessary war with Spain. He insulted President Taft, who was pretty much doing the things Roosevelt would have done anyway, and ran against him, deeply hurting the man who hadn't wanted to be president in the first place. But he broke the power of big businesses, and got Taft to do the same. This I want to replicate. This I want to continue.

So, to summarize:
Stop bailing out big businesses.
Start giving small businesses government help.
Break the power of big businesses in this fashion.

This is a movement I push for. It's not with the times. It's insane. It's radical.

And it's right.
