HEALTHY DEMOCRACY

 



The health of our democracy has become a salient topic for discussion as politicians use it in their line of attacks. All Americans want to live in a healthy democracy that protects our shared values, freedom, and opportunity. 

In this edition, I discuss areas of opportunity for ensuring our democracy protects our freedom, opportunity, and future. 

THE 2020 ELECTION

 

Joe Biden prevailed in the 2020 Presidential Election. Barring any changes related to contested ballots and possible recounts, Biden will become president on January 20, 2021. Biden will be inheriting a rebounding economy, a possible vaccine to Covid-19, and much more upon taking office.

Biden will most likely come into office with a gridlocked Congress, providing America with protection against the radical aspects of his agenda. Biden promises to heal America, but hard to imagine Americans coming together after the treatment by Biden and his party. Some of the actions committed, not only during the campaign, but the past 4 to 12 years, are not able to taken back or condoned. The political actions used to gain power cannot be ignored simply due to a shift in power.

VALUES, IDEALS, AND SOCIETY



Our perfect imperfect nation is a great nation because of our values, principles, and ideals, despite not always exemplifying them consistently. America is not without flaw. No nation can make that claim. But, a better path forward is to expand the practice of our espoused values and hold all accountable to live up to these standards, not rejecting them for sets that are proven ineffective and oppressive.

ECONOMIC MODELS

 

My name is Christopher Peter and welcome to the CRC Review. The CRC Review is your source for common sense commentary covering salient topics impacting our society and economy.

No other economic system elevates communities out of poverty over the long-term like free market capitalism. Many of the backers of systems like socialism purposeful ignore the clear and obvious failures of socialism, which empowers government over the people and provides them nothing but prolonged abject poverty and political violence. While free market capitalism has some challenges, it still is the right model for America, considering many of the problems are more a result of poorly constructed public policy than the system itself.

All Americans can agree that equal protection under the law should apply to all regardless of demographics. All Americans can understand challenges faced by law enforcement when dealing with suspected criminals in their worst moments.

AMERICA, RACE, AND THE FUTURE


America’s diversity is a strength and benefit for our society, allowing our nation to attract the best and brightest in the world. No American should experience racism, but conflicts will always exist between different cultures. Many will be classified as racism, which may not be completely accurate. At the same time, some incidents are dismissed when they are true examples of racism. Our society needs to be able to move forward not with resentment, anger, and vengeance, but understanding, forgiveness, and unity.
