Empowering citizens.

The function of government is responsibility towards it's citizens. When politicians are intellectually honest with themselves and make policy changes which favor spending money on life for their citizens—instead of war and death—it will then become possible for all citizens to empower themselves.

Our government has basically mandated our work force to work full-time jobs to ensure we have health care. If a person wants to try to start their own business, they need to:

1) Have saved enough money to pay for health care or
2) Start a new business and risk not having health insurance or
3) Work a full-time job and try to work as many hours as possible over their 40 hour job, to start their own business.

If we had nationalized health care, people could work a part-time job and the rest of the work week have enough time to start their own business.
