		<description><![CDATA[Let's start focusing on a new spectrum on the y axis. Large corporations versus true small business and entrepreneurialism. Why do we need better health insurance reform? So it is more possible to create a new business or keep an existing one afloat rather than allowing annual double digit increases to health insurance premiums. Fixing the education system by ignoring the decades of faulty studies comparing our education system, which strives to  every student the chance to succeed, to the nations who weed out those who think and learn differently at every possible level. To recognize that this is our greatest cultural strength and if we stop the current standardized testing nonsense and develop the 21st century education system from an agri-industrial model into an artisan-entrepreneurial model, we will create both better workers, businesses, and an economy that shows the true power of democracy and the US American spirit.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jamespgagnon.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5287040&amp;post=130&amp;subd=jamespgagnon&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
