He's going to want the answer. When the president's daughter ask him why her friend's parents lost their job so they have to move away. He's going to want to tell her that he's doing everything he can to stop people loosing their job. The children are the key if we just listen and understand what they're telling us. I don't think you should explain share holder value, profits, growth and all the economic issues. It will not mean anything to the kids. To our kids it's friends and people that matter. You can try and explain that it's not that easy but we should be listening to them. SHUT UP and LISTEN. Money has no meaning, people do. They quickly grow to learn that in this world money means more than people. What a world this would be if adults could learn from the kids. Think about it. A world where people mean more than money to the adults. Shhhh, if you listen to companies they say profits are down and we need to cut costs. Another way to say it is if we don't increase money in our pocket we will kick people out on the street. What's happening now is that people are saying if you take away jobs we'll stop buying you products. Listen to the kids. To business I say give people more jobs and they will buy your products. Don't make them worry that they will loose their job because they will stop buying. Make the people have meaning and tell them that more profits will mean more jobs not less profits will mean less jobs. Companies say they want more profits with less employees. I think you know what that would lead to. Try and explain that to your kids. To corporate America I say if you want to play the threat game here's a threat for you. If you don't give back and support the people there will be nothing left for you. Listen to the kids.
