“Justice Justice Shall You Pursue”

Never before have I really felt this statement from Deuteronomy (16:20) in my bones as I do now.  In a world where people are more visibly losing hope, becoming more prone to acts of violence that are so far from our basic nature of love, it is now that Justice needs to be brought to the forefront, unless we all wish to see more unraveling of our precious democratic system and its People here in the US.  Though I personally feel our system is broken, I also feel that, like anything, it is not a lost cause for repair unless no action is taken to correct some facet of it. 

If I Were a Rich Man Tour

On Aug, 23, 2012, the first participants of the If I Were A Rich Man Tour made their way to Northern California, embarking on a multi-state tour to raise awareness of Fair Share Taxation.  On Aug 26th, 2012, I am proud to say that I will be touring from city to city, state to state on this historical campaign, part of the ” title=”building a business that focuses on teaching financial health via

Money is one of the top items on my Core Values list.

…But so are the Arts, access to basic living needs, such as palatable foods like grains and fresh vegetables, and better education for all.  I am passionate about people.  What most people don’t realize is that with the wealthiest not paying their share, the things that I am passionate about go away and I refuse to let valuable programs like public radio, parks and other life-lines for society to dwindle, simply because of Gordon Gekko greed.

I constantly say I want to help make sure the Arts stick around now and generations after my lifetime.  It is now I am starting to understand really how to make it happen, and being a part of the “If I Were A Rich Man Tour” is a way for me to drop a bucket into the sea of hope.  Plus, what better training for a future multimillionaire than to be versed in Fair Share Taxation during the lean times? Justice at work, indeed.
