WELCOME! To the Stapleton Gallery of Folk History and Conversation Home of the FFPP. The FREEDOM, FAIRNESS AND PROGRESS PARTY Join now! Heres how! From a passage I wrote on page 645 of my book BUSINESS VOYAGES, a business bible, first published in 2008: I am not a Democrat, or a Liberal, and for sure I am not a Republican, or a Conservative. I am a member of the FFPP, my own creation, the Freedom, Fairness, and Progress Party. If you would like to join this party, send no money, but act in such a way as to encourage all people to act in truly free, fair, and progressive ways. Most Democratic congress people seem about as devoid of workable solutions for real problems in today’s world as Reagan and Bush II, although I will say I think Democratic politicians in Washington in general have been more Christian-like than Republican politicians in Washington since 1980. At least they did not take from the poor and give to the rich. Most Republican and Democratic politicians have done little in the last 25 years but slavishly vote for their party line, as they were told by their party bosses, to conserve their chances of getting help from their party bosses in their next election. Vote out the rascals ASAP and replace them with free, fair, responsible, progressive members of the FFPP, who want to do the right thing for all Earthians. Vote in Bernie Sanders as President of the United States in 2016! And all other progressive independents you can find. The last thing we need now are more brown-nosing ass-kissing career politicians out to feather their own nests and the nests of their sugar daddies ensconced in their corporate headquarters atop skyscrapers and their favored elite rich few by slavishly voting for bills, acts, laws and rules in their favor, at the expense of we the people on the ground, in the on-going US class war, exponentially increasing the incomes and wealth of the elite rich from year to year, creating ever-widening inequality, inexorably destroying our society from the inside, as climate change destroys it from the outside. Get rid of flat taxes. Large corporations and the elite rich now pay about the same after loophole effective tax rate as the middle class. Reset the top ALETR to above 70 percent where our wisest ancestors set it before 1980, who knew you have to have progressive income tax rates to prevent inequality from destroying society. Use the new tax revenue, borrowed money, and printed money to directly fund infrastructure jobs in green energy, transportation, education and the like to help the unemployed and underemployed and small businesses, as a multiplier effect kicks in creating even more jobs, restoring a semblance of fairness in our society.

I used a spinning arrow over 30 years in all my university case method business courses to point out and randomly select the discussion leader of the day, thereby insuring every student in the class had an equal opportunity to be the class leader of the day, thereby teaching democratic leadership behaviors. I am convinced you could randomly select intelligent knowledgeable citizens off the streets of the US and send them to Washington replacing all sitting politicians and the US government would improve overnight, since these citizens could use their common sense to vote for things benefiting we the people, having not been paid with corporate and elite rich money to fight on the side of large corporations and the elite rich in the US class war. Politics are not confined to governments. Do not think there is not plenty of crazy, irrational petty politics in academia. Here is my best shot at eliminating some of the petty politics of academia, in my article “Optimizing the Fairness of Student Evaluations: A Study of Correlations Between Instructor Excellence, Study Production, Learning Production and Expected Grades,” published in the Journal of Management Education in 2001, since cited as a reference in 48 refereed professional journal articles, at sagepub/holt/articles/. Scroll about half way down the list of articles in this anthology to find a PDF copy of my Optimizing Fairness article. Vote for members of the FFPP, the Freedom, Fairness, and Progress Party, who want to do the right thing for all Earthians, rather than the careerists of the establishment parties bought and paid to promote the interests of large corporations and the elite rich, irrespective of the legitimate needs of lower classes. It now appears if significant progress is to occur in the US the establishment parties must be delegitimized. They have had ample time and opportunity to prove themselves; and they have not produced governments working in the best interests of we the people. The way to delegitimize them is not to vote for them. Richard John Stapleton, effectivelearning.net, January 25, 2014.
