on e pluribus unum


Translated from Latin, E Pluribus Unum, America's motto, means: From Many, One. It implies that the purpose of government in this country is to gather together all who dwell here and to mold them into a whole that is greater and more powerful than its individual parts could ever be alone. It does not mean: Make only 0.01% of all Americans fantastically wealthy while the rest wallow in poverty without regular and affordable access to proper health care, well-paying jobs, decent shelter, or healthy, high-quality food.

The robber-baron style, consumption-oriented capitalism currently endorsed and enforced by the American federal government makes but poorly of many, one; we can no longer allow this selfish, short-sighted economic model to poison and destroy the tender, fragile reasons why this nation was formed: to make the people of this land Safe and Happy, and to allow the Blessings of Liberty to rain bountifully upon all, equally. We must change our economic systems, and, if need be, our corrupted and counter-productive modes of government. Arise, patriots, arise as one; read the Declaration of Independence, and fight alongside the indomitable forces of Reason to liberate it from such harsh and heavy chains as those that now imprison it.
