Poem
Plutocracy--politics of, for, by, with financial wealth. What does Donald Trump tell us about what he expects for us and from us in return for his personal investment in national political/economic leadership? In the past record he seems to have expected to reduce the expenses of labor, workers, producers of goods and services, to increase short-term financial benefits to wealthier co-investors, like himself. If Mr. Trump has run on his past record then why would workers, laborers, producers of goods and services, much less prisoners and homeless and marginalized populations, expect a change of game plan? If he has asked us to anticipate a change of game plan, then what does he offer by way of relevant experience for any public office intended to grow our long-term sustainable healthy, happy, and reasonably good-humored, cooperative prosperity? I suspect what lies behind this Trump Card's motivation to win is a significant private wager that he could buy this too if he really wanted to. But what he would do with such leadership once won would all be downhill loss for Mr. Trump as for all his plutocratic friends, their children, and our children's children. Plutocracy could be democracy, depending on whether we define wealth with healthy outcomes, or do we continue with defining health as wealthy outcomes, and where we draw our ecological political-economic line distinguishing between healthy wealth and co-arising greed which breeds envy, not further regenerative healthy wealth.
