A NATION OF GOOD PEOPLE

christopherpeter CRC5, Fan Behavior, Gun Control, Medical Freedom Comments Off on A NATION OF GOOD PEOPLE


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. 

The title of this podcast is a Nation of Good People. The United States of America is a nation of good people. Recent news events or trending social media threads might make it seem otherwise. But the totality of American life reflects kindness, generosity, and compassion that typically goes unnoticed. America is one of the only nations that goes to great lengths to empathize with its citizens. Even in situations where complaints derive from normal every day life. Most nations care little about the emotional hysteria of their people.

The high velocity of information can make people lose perspective of the actual situation. People throw out selective statistics without considering the complete context of the actual data. This is largely why people tend to treat others based on stereotypes and false judgments. For instance, the proportion of people in gangs or other organized crime organizations are mere fractions of the groups stereotyped by these. The proportion of people who hold strong racist sentiments and act on them is small when you consider the whole group stereotyped. Society tends to obsess over one aspect without considering the whole picture. 

That does not mean we do not have opportunities for improvement. We certainly do. Some in our society pose threats to the rest of us. Some in our society lack the needed respect for our shared rights and freedoms. Some do not afford basic respect to others because of their level of notoriety or socioeconomic status. Some behaviors demonstrated by some in our society need to start to live up to our social norms of good rather than altering the definition of good behavior to fit otherwise bad into it. 

In this podcast, I look at the how to ensure America remains a nation of good people. I discuss how to protect our rights and freedoms while addressing the need to mitigate bad behaviors and choices by those that live among us. Please click above to experience A Nation of Good People. 

A BETTER WAY

Our governing principle in America is that of a representative democracy, where the power theoretically resides with the people, who elect representatives to do the work of the government. The idea of a limited government is not simply a Republican staple, but an essential requirement for a free society. 

The real foundation of American society is freedom. Freedom associated with the spirit of self-reliance. Freedom of self-determination in our economic pursuits and matters. Freedom to choose the way we live our lives and accepting the responsibility and consequences of those choices. 

A requirement for a free society is the empowering of the people rather than government. Government, by nature, is somewhat oppressive by the coercive nature of limiting behaviors. Sometimes the limitations are essential. Other times the limitations are completely political. 

America is at somewhat of a crossroads in deciding whether society will continue to resemble the free democracy and free enterprise economy that created a perfectly imperfect nation. America has flaws, as every nation does, but Americans must not exchange flaws for flawed ideology. 

In this podcast, I discuss how America can improve our governance to protect the society we all love. Also, the recent economic boom is addressed along with other current events. Please click above to experience A Better Way. 

CRIME & SOCIETY

Americans deserve to live in communities where law and order is the norm not a privilege. Americans of all backgrounds should be able to raise their children, work, and live their lives in safe communities. Threats to people’s safety, the public’s trust, and the credibility of our economy and institutions cannot be tolerated. 
 
There really is no such thing as a victimless crime. There always is a victim in a crime. Insurance does not address all the repercussions associated with criminal acts. People should not sympathize with those who choose criminal acts. Yes, it is a choice. 
 
Our idea of justice is not always as straight forward as one might ideally expect. The good do not always win and the bad in our society benefit. Americans must require our leaders hold bad actors accountable and improve law enforcement’s ability to bring people to justice in a fair and equal manner.

THE MONEY WE SPEND

The CRC Review is your source for common sense commentary covering the public policy and salient topics impacting our national economy and overall society. 

Some people feel that government spending is possible without limitations. These individuals are wrong. There are numerous examples throughout the world that excessive government spending negatively impacts an economy in the long run and devalues currency. 

There is a need for government spending in times of crisis or economic instability but spending needs to be limited. The best approach is to utilize on what is needed before the private sector is able to provide for society once again. There is multiplier effect in terms of growth in private sector spending, whereas some economists believe there is a suppressing effect with public spending.

Our spending also should not fully subsidize poverty rather help to elevate people towards income mobility. There will always be some people in need of perpetual assistance, but every able-bodied citizen should be working and contributing to our society. 

In this podcast, I discuss how our government spending can be made more efficient and effective. Additionally, I discuss salient current events. Please click above to experience The Money We Spend.

TAKING THE FIGHT TO POVERTY

The CRC Review is your source for common sense commentary covering the public policy and salient topics impacting our national economy and overall society. 

The common theme you experience here is the idea of empowering the people. Focusing on allowing people to make the choices that are best for the individual situations, needs, and wants. Americans should not be forced to limit our expectations to the choices afforded by government, rather by those available by our effort, opportunity, and ingenuity. 

There is a need to expand opportunity in our society. Broadening the pipelines of success to more communities and groups in our society. The question is whether we do this through redistribution or through expanding the economic principles that made America the leading and most innovative economy in the world. 

America must harness the innovation, ambition, and productivity of the American people, which many people seem hesitant to do. America should help more people of all different backgrounds increase investments, entrepreneurial pursuits instead of securing spots on government programs. Americans must be champions of their own success rather than victims of circumstance. 

In this podcast, I discuss how America can improve our fight against poverty. I also provide a real-life example of income mobility, which is key to elevating people out of poverty through the dignity of work. Please click on the above to experience Taking the Fight to Poverty podcast. 

RATIONAL REFORM

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.

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. By no means should our men and women in law enforcement be willing victims. But there are reasonable reforms that can be male to ensure even the worse of our society receive due process they are entitled to by our Constitution.
