  1. Dear Ms Amanpour, Mr Avanashi (SP?) and Mr Wilson, As an overseas viewer the thing that breaks our hearts the most about the staged insurrection and alleged sedition from President Trump, Rudolf Giuliani, and also from the leader of the rebel senators, Ted Cruz, and his cohorts is the fact that someone actually died in your nation’s capital. Unbelievably, four other people---one a policeman---lost their lives for a sham political stunt. The insurrection is a black mark on American democracy, but people died because a disgruntled President Trump could not admit he lost an election. The would be Che Guevara of the movement to overthrow the election results, Ted Cruz, should be ashamed of himself for acting like he lost his mind by shouting through bullhorns to Trumpers about how they’re not going to take it anymore or other nonsense. I am writing to say that I believe I can deliver the root cause of what you are experiencing. As a lay person, I don’t want you to think I have a professional authority on what I am about to say, but I believe the reason you are seeing the chaos erupting across your nation is that the economic system is not working any more to a satisfying degree for most of the people. People are mad because of a problem with their standard of living; Trump was just a big, flashy bullhorn guy who the people at the end of their tether could use as a spokesperson for the grief they feel, but have no idea that why they are so angry is not because of Democrats or Republicans or Independents; it’s because their money gets them nowhere. We all secretly love capitalism, because it has done so much for people like ourselves, but what we don’t realize is that Nixon taking the dollar off the gold standard, and Thatcher and Reagan deregulating the banks and other legislation resulted in what we are now experiencing everywhere: a wealth chasm that is wider than The Grand Canyon. You can find everything you want in analyzing what is happening in your country, and you’ll be right, but in my humble opinion, we have to change the economic system we have all grown up with for something that takes care of everyone. What we don’t see is that we want to go in one direction and have a great society and save the environment, but the economic system we are using is going in the opposite direction. It’s a no-win situation, and until we see that you cannot have a chassis that does not support the weight of the vehicle, we are going to continue deluding ourselves into thinking that it’s because of that guy or gal over there who believes in the next faux guru of change that desperate people cling to. Remember, you cannot fact-check a person in an emotional state. Trump’s follows are living proof that when people condemn Trump, they only believe in him more. It's an opinion.
