John: It is the key for economic freedom for our citizens. You do not have to be a lawyer or doctor to live a comfortable life. Many of these professions lend themselves to individuals who live beyond their means, in order to first gain acceptance from their established peers.

Jason: Yes, I do understand that it is not what you make, but how much you save that really matters. Individuals have lacked education in two area, which need to be addressed in Building a Moral Society.

John: Two area, well tell me which subjects. I am dying to hear this.

Jason: Personal finances and philosophy should be taught in kindergarten. For some lack the knowledge necessary to maintain their person finances in good order, or cannot have an intelligent debate.

John: Philosophy does allow one to improve their mind. Clearly a society that values thought will be more inclined to produce more intelligent leaders in all areas necessary to maintain the Republic. Also, those who can understand their personal finances and are able to stretch their money further are a blessing to our Moral Society.

Jason: How so?

John: These individuals are independent, maybe they need some help in their elder years, however they give back to the system and are not like crows waiting for a free meal. Our education system should invest more in our children, so that more people are self-sufficient, able to think with strong intellectual prowess, hard workers, and can handle all aspects of finances that a reasonable personal should understand.

Jason: Our children should all be taught to balance a checkbook, the fundamentals of accounting, credit, insurance, investing, and retirement. These basics should be part of the regular school curriculum.

John: Well done. I agree wholeheartedly. The whole Moral Society would be improved by these suggested measures. A strong foundation in philosophy and finances will cause the people to be less dependent upon Government programs.
