Our Mission
This site will only scratch the surface of the mission the "RISE UP THEORY OF ECONOMICS" hopes to accomplish. To those of you who have never been wealthy, many of the goals listed below may seem like an "impossible dream". But give yourself the benefit of the doubt and accept for a moment the fact that "capitalism" can make you wealthy even if you don't have the "tools" to compete for the big bucks. You have seen the 40-year tables and realize that just by working, being stable and industrious during those years, you too can become wealthy. Now review all the societal problems Rise Up plans to solve..
- Make the poor rich
- Deliver the American Dream to even those that can’t compete
- Honor the capitalist system by using it to solve these many problems
- Create Personal Accounts for everyone

- Force a 15% Savings on citizens at no new cost to them
- Create wealth by compounding (see the tables)
- Reduce the National budget by one-half
- Immediately liquidate $65 Trillion of potential entitlement debt
- Deliver the biggest tax cut in history

- Infect the population with a desire to win and increase stock values

Neither opponent nor supporter of my plan can argue that what I propose is not something the people want for themselves - real wealth, freedom of choice and the American Dream. In my plan the people are empowered and the state will lose some of theirs. Those who believe in the ability of the few to orchestrate the lives of the many are just fooling themselves. The private sector in America has proven that when all 300 million Americans are able to invent, design, develop and implement their ideas freely our society prospers socially and economically. That prescription has made us the economic and military giant of the planet with just 4.5% of its population.
My plan will make major adjustments that will enable the individual to reacquire the rights and freedoms lost to the emergence of big government over the last century. It will also let capitalism deliver the American Dream to those that are unprepared to compete at the level necessary to insure them of that dream. This will demonstrate to the world that capitalism is not only a system that delivers wealth to the rich but one that delivers wealth to the poor as well. What socialism failed to deliver, capitalism will. Those that refuse to allow this to happen are doomed to the ash heap of history like all social totalitarians that believe man is so deliriously weak he can be convinced to live in a world of equal outcomes for unequal contributions thereby denying his own natural instincts.
My plan will travel a bumpy road with massive opposition from those whose powers and perks will be taken from them.. There are evil men in this world who will work desperately to keep the poor, poor. When opponents put their roadblocks in the way, ask yourself how it was so simple to give “personal accounts” to politicians, Congressmen, Senators and 3.3 million Federal workers through the Thrift Savings Plan and it is so unconscionable and "wrong" to give them to you? Ask them why these problems didn’t surface when the legislators gave these personal accounts to themselves and government workers?
If it was so simple then, what is the problem now? Their answer will never rise to a level that would defeat my concept that capitalism can deliver the poor from poverty; to Make the Poor Rich. In my plan the people use their own money. The Thrift Savings Plan uses your tax dollars to finance their personal accounts; and they have the gall to tell you that you can’t have one using your own money. What a group of saps we Americans have become if we let this opportunity pass. My plan hopes to empower the people and restore some control over their own lives. To give them back the self-respect and self-esteem they have lost to big government.
And lastly don’t let anyone demean the USA and its capability and its exceptionalism. We have a piddling debt to foreigners of $2.3 Trillion and a country worth anywhere from $120 to $400 Trillion. We can afford to transition to personal accounts out of petty cash. Don't let anyone fool YOU.
