Politics, Economics, and Religion

Religion has so many connections to political and economic beliefs, there needs to be a place to identify linkages, problems, goals, options, action plans and evaluation criteria.

What is the purpose of life?

An eternal question, what is the purpose of life?, occupied philosophers’ thoughts throughout history. Stone pictographs reveal even primitive peoples reflected on this query. Each one has the capacity to define his or her personal thinking about politics, economics and religion.

Thanks Sentient, too bad Viet Name ate up the money that could have made a big difference. However, his anti-poverty program reduced the poverty rate by half. Really good for "bombs or butter" disputes.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

“For nearly four years you have had an Administration which instead of twirling its thumbs has rolled up its sleeves. We will keep our sleeves rolled up. We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace--business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.”

"US has seen “the share of national income going to the top 1%... doubled since 1980 from 10 to 20%. 
"For the top 0.01% it has quadrupled to levels never seen before.” 
“Globally the incomes of the top 1% have increased 60% in twenty years. 
"The growth in income for the 0.01% has been even greater.”
"The financial crisis has only accelerated the process of the 1% gaining even greater wealth."
