1-Only in America

It's 5 pm on a Tuesday and I am stuck in traffic heading home from work when my friend decides to scan the radio station. I'm sure he was looking for some hip hop and R&B when suddenly I hear that country song by Brooks and Dunn "Only in America." "Everybody gets a chance and we all get to dance"

The song was not on long but the words temporarily lingered in my head. I began to ask myself, Is that true? And if it is, is there a level playing ground when it comes to acquiring the American dream? To give credence to the song, it says you can come from anywhere trying to get somewhere. You've got a chance. You might win and you might not.

I just went on with my thoughts and said only in America. An immigrant can receive paid housing, education and business grants while working class Americans can struggle to pay rent, start a business and put food on the table. Only in America one can pass down a billion dollar empire while another is lucky his funeral expenses are fully covered. Only in America can a last name make you an instant board member, an approved job candidate or blacklisted kid that's about to get the book thrown at him. That's when it hit me. "There's a wealth gap somewhere".

Now that I have your attention, let me tell you why I have written this book. Some may think I plan to belabor and complain about the social financial, and cultural disadvantages that exist between certain classes of society. And if we are truthful, there are both social advantages and disadvantages in the financial structure of America. However, I am from the school of thought that says complaining and lamenting usually leads you back square one.

This book is written to uncover the contributing factors that create this social construct in an effort to raise the social and financial status of every household. Take for example, all knowledge is good for understanding and once it is revealed, we can implement the tools to reshape our financial destiny.

I would therefore say that there are wisdom keys to be found in this book. (Proverbs 4:7)

7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all of thy getting, get understanding.

The ability to know what you have not known, and do what you have not done comes when we are ready to close the the gap and possess every man or woman's rightful inheritance in this land.

2-Something has to Change

I like promises, don't you? Especially the kept ones. That's why I serve the living God who cannot deny his word. He says,"My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that I have spoken."

The issue with promises is that they are not always kept. This can lead to great emotional damage and financial loss. I'm reminded of a promise that was made by the US government around a century and a half ago.

The civil war was coming to an end and so was the slavery built economy. There was a promise given to the newly freed men signed by President Lincoln himself. The p...
