I believe we can keep the promise of our founder the idea that if you're willing to work hard
it doesn't matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love
it doesn't matter whether you're black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor
able to say okay or straight you can make it here in a band
Innovation is an inherited necessity of humanity's continued survival
social leaders have had the largest influence on innovative ideas being accepted or released to the masses
the social leaders most influential are political and business leaders due to their insider information and decision making control
government's bureaucratic and redundant layers fail to regulate business effectively for public interest
to the extent that redundancy and bureaucracy inhibit public interest
government should be led by its people
bureaucracies are an intent to force the world to conform to a rational system
the first needed innovation in American government is the elimination of the Federal Reserve
by creating an internal control of currency American government will hold the authority to regulate business in an effective and efficient manner
the second innovation needed in American government is to create an incentive based tax system for businesses
instead of creating tax breaks where businesses pay less money
business should pay less money because they provide some service or public interest fulfillment
businesses also being stifled by limited focus and lack of innovation
according to a famous economist in the 1930s Milton Friedman the only responsibility of business is to continuously increase its profit
the purpose of business is not only to increase profits
similar to maintaining a diverse investment portfolio business must also diversify investment innovation
Rakesh Kapoor is the CEO of RB a conglomerate company making products sold under many brands such as Lysol, Scholl, and Durex
he believes each business has responsibility beyond performance and shareholder value
a business serves the people and employees, the community where it is located, and those who use it services
the real shareholders are the individuals, the groups they create, and the environments which they exist
a recent article managing by design in the Academy of Management Journal regarding consumer needs as a source of innovation
the thinking needs to expand beyond just the consumers and beyond just the product design
including manufacturing processes
the change must be initiated and repeatedly demanded by the individuals
society is dependent on more than just business and government to operate
the cog in the contraption which allows it to exist as the individual
the current political and commercial organizations in America are being deteriorated by systematic failures due to group thinking mentality
it is up to the individuals to respond to such failures
the entire purpose for individual voting is devalued by an electorate whom are not required to follow the populist count
there is a current limitation imposed on the individual's voting power
for the individual to truly possess influence, the electoral college system must be completely eradicated
no longer is the unelected representation of voters needed when voting for representation
the most important and needed step for progressive innovation is for the individual to realize their needs, their impact, and their value
one failure of group thinking mentality is the fact that environmental impact is less important than the profit margin
this thinking fails to realize the long-term impact of such short-sighted decisions
a problem with humanity's responsibility to nature is the fact that we don't live that long
if humans live for centuries instead of decades, our actions would be very different when we come to resource allocation
however, such thinking should still be addressed, not just for the next generation but for many generations in the future
American government can use tax incentives and regulations to encourage good environmental behavior from businesses
instead of just punishing and finding bad behavior
businesses will provide meaningful services beyond mere profit
governance will be for the people, by the people, and the individual will have value
the world is shaping in new directions every day but innovative progress will always continue
humans, nature, and time are not static
a dynamic approach in all regards must be the underlying foundation which future systems are deployed
all knowledge, everything we've ever read, every letter was made up by someone in the past
their presence lives on through the sharing of their knowledge
the ideas and solutions innovated by predecessors creates more room for further development and deeper comprehension
working together is needed across every culture and every continent
innovation is humanity's inherited tool for continued survival
by sharing ideas and inspiration innovation will no longer be stagnant
