Solving our problems in America seems daunting at best. Our Corporatist leaders have created a society of "Mega" Corporations and Crony Government, a structure more akin to fascism than free market capitalism. A slave state is emerging and we know it.
A SOLUTION RISING!
A new version of an old economic freedom is taking root all around the world. It's loosely called crowd funding. An age old concept reinvigorated by the Internet.

It is called the Coolest Cooler project and it is hosted on the platform Kickstarter. This one minute video covers key points of crowd funding and some interesting applications and companies coming out of Portland ...

Here is a link to the Coolest campaign.

Yep, that is right, people are prepaying in droves to see if this guy will deliver a cool cooler to them someday down the line.
