I am humbled tonight to accept an award named for a man who spent his life speaking for those without a voice, fighting for the weak, challenging the strong, and defending till the end of his days the goodness and decency of the common man and woman.
Such is the legacy of Jeff Bell. He understood the times in which we live because he understood the longing of every person to find fellowship, to forge community, to build a home. And he understood that our liberty depends on whether those longings can be fulfilled.
And that is what I want to talk with you about tonight.
We live in a troubled age. Every American knows it, feels it.
Discontent is the theme of our politics, the preoccupation of our popular culture. It is the very air we breathe.
But why? Why—in the words of another American senator—is this most prosperous of nations so troubled in spirit, so rent by division, so anxious and uncertain?
The statistics tell us that we are living in a new age of inequality. The divide between the wealthy and working Americans is wide, and growing wider.
You’ve heard the numbers. As to wealth: The top 10% of the country’s earners control 77% of the country’s total wealth. As to wages: Over the last several decades, inflation-adjusted wages for the working class have barely budged, while income for those at the very top has soared.
But the most telling economic divide in the country is between Americans with a high school degree and those who have four-year college degrees or more. A bachelor’s degree now earns a household in this country double the median income of a high school diploma. As of 2016, families with a four-year degree or higher controlled roughly three-quarters of the country’s wealth. That’s a 50% increase since just 1989.
We are witnessing the rise of a new oligarchy of wealth and education. And not surprisingly, the leaders of this country’s government, its press, its corporations and most of its popular culture most all belong to this same class.
what did that guy go to prison for? @Weaboo Kempeitai

"They call themselves citizens of the world"
`Suicides in this country are at their highest level since 1938. Alcohol-related deaths the highest since the start of World War One. And drug overdoses are at the highest level ever recorded.
The numbers are even more startling for the young. The number of 15 to 24 year-olds committing suicide is greater than at any other time since the government began tracking the data over fifty years ago.
For girls and young women, suicides rates have doubled during the 21st century. Doubled.
Taken altogether, nearly 36,000 American millennials died “deaths of despair” in 2017 alone.
There is now a death from drugs or alcohol or suicide every four minutes in this nation.
These numbers, these lives cut short, are tragic. But they represent more than tragedy. They evidence a profound loss afflicting this country, and they summon us to a profound need.
I am talking about the loss of community. And I am talking about the need to rebuild it.`
This should be on pamphlets
***As it took hold in twentieth-century America, the Promethean ideal taught that the individual self exists apart from all social ties and relations. Our family, our religious society, our neighborhood and town—these communities don’t constitute one’s identity, because who one truly is exists separate from all of them.***
***The collapse of community in America has been underway for decades now, and as it accelerates, it threatens our common liberty.
Our families and farm cooperatives, our churches and labor unions—they bring us together, they relate us to each other, they tell us what we have in common. And they tell us a story about ourselves, as Americans.
They tell us that what unites us is not race or ethnicity or religious confession. What unites us is the deep conviction that every life matters, that you matter, that every person is uniquely called and uniquely gifted.**
**They tell us what unites us is not race or ethnicity or religious confession**
`Both major parties have embraced some version of this Promethean politics. And both have made it central to their agenda, for decades.` <--- most based part
***THEY TELL US WHAT UNITES US IS NOT RACE OR ETHNICITY OR RELIGIOUS CONFESSION**
