What It Will Take To Resurrect the American Middle Class: The Return of the America Dream with Prosperous Jobs

How do the Democrats plan to resurrect the American Dream? Did they read my piece on restoring the five pillars of the American Prosperity? No! The Democrats are going to hand more money to the Clinton Global Initiative which means our country will be giving more foreign aid in a time when our people desperately need prosperity. Didn't we do that with 500 Billion dollars to Pakistan only to find out the Pakistan government was hiding Osama bin Laden? Should America have learned their lesson them?

So do jobs with the Clinton Global Initiative pay well? Are the salaries competitive with salaries of peers doing the same work here in the USA? No, they are not even a living wage.

How can providing more money in foreign aid resurrect the American Dream?

Quite simply, it can't. In all probability working for the Clinton Global Initiative is substandard pay in dangerous areas of the world and that will be giving more American treasure away and undermining the rest of American's Dreams. It isn't a bad deal for someone who is a died hard Democrat who has just graduated from college and can't find a job but it hurts your fellow citizen. I know a few people who work with this organization but they are surgeons who are paid well and work with the Clinton Global Initiative more for the travel and not for the money. They usually work in Africa, although they did respond to Haiti which was nightmare beyond what anyone could imagine here.

But for those who are middle aged with children who the Clinton Global Initiative will not be a viable employer this approach is of absolutely no use. So resurrecting the American dream is only for the young Democrats through the Clinton Global Initiative. If it were me and I had the choice and was just graduated from college and couldn't find work I would chose the military over the Clinton Global Initiative. Atleast in the military you have retirement, health and dental and they give you a gun in hot spots around the world. There is also the intelligence agencies and my favorite the Peace Corp.

NGO is highly trained and skilled work if you plan on surviving it. It is not for the faint of heart or the average person. And it takes a great deal of courage and effort to survive in another country. The way the political climate is in the world, NGO(s) in most instances are considered spies and therefore their lives are in constant danger. As an American I know that not all NGO(s) are spies but that is not how the rest of the world sees it. NGO(s) and Foreign Correspondents are two most targeted group of foreigners in the world.

I think I would try the Peace Corp before the Clinton Global Initiative. Personally I can't stand the thought of my country giving another cent away while the people inside it go hungry. But if you need a job after college the Peace Corp is a sound organization that has a long history and tradition of help people in third world countries.

I think foreign aid is a complete waste of time in large amounts but little operations throughout the world stand a much better chance of success and don't leave visible prints but apparently the Clinton Global Initiative is tasked with employing everyone atleast those under the age of 25, in good health and willing do work in dangerous parts of the world. This plan might not resurrect the American Dream but conjured a new American nightmare.

So if you have to join the Clinton Global Iniative I will provide you a link for employment but please consider some of the other links I have provided below and please read the article on restoringt he five pillars of American propserity and you wll see foreign aid isn't one of them. We need to restore those five pillars to get our economy back on the road to recovery.

Amazingly, Bill Clinton balked on Face the Nation when asked if he believed millionaires and billionaires should pay higher taxes. Now I don't wish to imply I believe Bill Clinton doesn't believe the wealthy should pay taxes. I believe he said they should pay the same amount of taxes as the middle class so Mr. Clinton believes the wealthy shouldn't pay more taxes then then the middle class. To the contrary I remembering paying taxes under Bill Clinton and I was in graduate school and paid very high taxes for my income. I was middle class so high taxes for the middle class and the wealthy. I just think Bill Clinton wants job creation prior to tax increases. Financially he and his organization has a tremendous amount to gain financially by being funded by the federal government as with in any organization administration is quite a lucrative business. I believe Mr. Clinton should have been required to disclose that as aa conflict of interest.
