I am an Army veteran
and a retired Economist with a career extending over
30 years, mostly with the Federal government but also
with the airport development industry. I believe that
serious changes must be made to the way politics are conducted
and issues are debated and resolved. The current
severe economic crisis is the consequence of decades of criminally destructive
mismanagement of the public's interest by the Congress
which has resulted in the huge economic inequalities
that are destroying the middle class and the
taxation base needed to finance government
programs. The distribution of personal income has
declined to the disastrous level of 1928,
which was partially ameliorated with
the restoration of middle class incomes and
savings from the doubling of the economy during
World War II. The most troubling symptoms
of current social unrest from the present economic
crisis are the pernicious assault upon our individual
constitutional Bill of Rights protections and the
inexcusable failure of the Federal government to help
all of the innocent victims of the crisis, especially
the homeless. The 25 issue papers listed
below discuss my thoughts about the problems facing
our society and present suggested solutions for
those concerns. I have no campaign sponsors
or contributors and, if elected, will use my best
judgment of what is their effects upon the
public interest when voting on issues.
I will not be subservient to any partisan
ideology and have no intention of
becoming a career politician. I would greatly
appreciate having the opportunity to be your
truly independent Democrat voice in
Congress.
