I could list 100 reasons but let me start with these 3:

It is NOT a political campaign. It is every thing a political campaign is not
It is focused on SMART (Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Time-Based) SOLUTIONS
It is structured to ultimately self-fund (i.e. will not resort to repeated solicitations for donations) - as well as refund any initial Jump-Start Contributions

A generation ago, there were fewer superstars and celebrities. The gap between the earnings of celebrities/superstars on the one hand, and the median middle class household on the other hand, was much narrower.

In those (good old) days, it was possible for many households to function productively with only one income. Now we have more superstars/celebrities, the compensation of these superstars/celebrities is through the roof, the gap between the median superstar's income (actor/actress, athlete, sportsperson, cable/TV talking head, etc) and the median household income (even with 2 incomes in the household) is wider than ever.

Welcome to the new (upside down) normal.

We've been scammed, big time.

I know most of us like to think how smart we are, and how we are not vulnerable to scams, but let's face it and tell ourselves the truth - we are all victims. The only difference between us and Bernie Madoff's victims is that we don't even know we are being scammed.

The greatest scam is how those of us in the middle class have come to accept paper (fiat currency - without any inherent value of its own other than as a medium of exchange for goods/services as well as payment of taxes) money as something real and valuable.
