A Clear Sign Our Country Needs Saving
What happened when I asked people one simple question.
I’ve been listening to people talk. Part of my inherent nature is to look for commonalities in people no matter how differently we may think. Let’s face it, as a country, the United States is fractured and divided. We’re angry. We’re arguing. Finding a common thread helps me feel like we may be more connected than we think. I found the common thread.
I put out one simple question on various social media platforms after having noticed something interesting happening. I wanted to see if what my gut was telling me was right. I made sure I asked the question is the broadest of terms.
Simply, I asked people what their biggest political policy concerns were. No one had to share how they felt about them. Just list them.
In no particular order, the most commonly mentioned issues were:
- Education
- Tax Reform
- Justice Reform
- Healthcare
- National Debt Crisis
- Civil Rights
- Environment
