    It is my belief that at the heart of criminality is poverty. Let’s lift our people out of poverty by making sure every corporation local and otherwise pays its fair share of taxes, land etc. using those funds to employ our people and pay them liveable wages so that they can in turn house, feed and clothe themselves and their families. Let’s not compromise our humanity and love for each other for the cynism, calousness, greed and inhumanity that are pervasive in so called first class countries who make it seem that it is wrong to care about and for your fellow man -those who call it socialism and communisn just so they don’t have to pay their fair share.
