True freedom and equality comes from economic power. I've always agreed with that sentiment. Much of our focus as a people should be on garnering economic power, and then hedging that clout politically. We have enough people in our community that are well enough off to create nationwide corporations to cover our needs, we just do not seem to have the will and faith in each other to do it. Maybe, just maybe, we as a people need to cultivate more faith in each other, instead of placing so much faith in others.
