Puerto Rico is one of the countries where there is more inequality in the world. Ranks fifteenth among 198 countries and it is not flattering. Inequality is measured by setting the gap between rich and poor or the distribution of income. In our case, there is less than 10% of people who have more than 90% of all the wealth, while 90% of our citizenry receives 10% of revenue. 's scholars correlate to countries with high levels of inequality with social problems associated with violence and crime. Also, these countries suffer from problems of corruption, poor quality of life and environment and health problems, among other social stressors. It is no coincidence that we have these problems throughout the archipelago of Puerto Rico. listening to discussions of recent weeks regarding the approval of a new budget and public works service, I note with sadness how many sectors are released to the Legislature to lobby to retain and not contribute, or at least bring social responsibility to address the many problems of our unequal Puerto Rico, and I understand why no agreement is reached. I see with regret that inequality has been internalized in our social psyche and expressed in all relationships. We are used to that over 50% of families live below poverty levels and over 60% do not formally work or live under conditions of underemployment. We live in terror of violence, but not enough to bring the wages of the police or do not fight for our teachers have schools, salaries and minimum support to reduce the dropout rate. On the other hand, the pathetic reflection hear the we undergo every day from 5:00 to 23:00. Empty of content analysis, compulsive repetition of the same, while politicking politicking critic there in decisions about public issues that affect everyone. There are proposals for change, not dwell on anything but block, destroy and intercept any attempt to do good. Not open space for deep reflection of our challenges and opportunities and not move, are responsible for what each country working to make plays. My mother would have said, are those who neither eat nor allowed to eat. This week was held the Week of Solidarity Economy and there emphasized that to change countries in crisis need to change our ways of thinking and doing economically . In addition, the solidarity economy par excellence is that which considers the total welfare of all the inhabitants of the country, as a way to achieve economic growth, full employment and quality of life at all levels. Solidarity countries that have very low rates of inequality, also have low rates of violence, crime, unemployment, health and other indicators. They are places with high social mobility, which all grow together and produce goods to which most have access. Produce and compete, but redistributed, contribute to social development and create jobs that guarantee full and fair social mobility and growth. In Puerto Rico we have documented and published in every way possible, proposals and strategies that could get us out of the swamp in which us all alone we've gotten, in which we put the government in four years, in which we got to our school communities and society in general. We correct proposals to lift the economy, pay debts, enable efficient government and educate our citizens of today and tomorrow. We know that and we are aware that we have to get out of this self-imposed inequality. We are not slaves, but we prefer to behave as such to have someone to blame: demand and desire, as psychoanalysts say. Enough is enough complaints; slight bitter pill is passed: aspire to happiness.

RAFAEL COX ALOMAR
Public hearings on the status of Puerto Rico,-convened by the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources Senate for Tuesday June 11th, Have Been Canceled. Initially rescheduled for Thursday 13, then postponed indefinitely in July sometime. But Regardless of When They find (If They finally get), go beyond Ideological politicians of different currents of the country to cancel each other, wielding shallow and fallacious arguments most of it the time. In passing, giving him the perfect excuse again the Senate to do nothing acerca de Puerto Rico, Because after all (as will be shown again) politicians here still give you not agree. And while the ax back and forth the Country Continues in his agony, product, not of a temporary crises in the world economy, but the exhaustion from starvation productive, Ideological and systemic economic and political model-constitutional and not give more. 's that simple. The more of it is not, nor can be, never future project. And This May I point it negate some politicians still "avestruzados" heat of fear and ignorance, but the country includes in its heart of hearts That it is. So what happens after hearings of July? Nothing. As happened after the May 19, 2010 When the Senate held public hearings on HR 2499 (passed the House with amendment by Rep. Virginia Foxx). As happened after 14 and July 15, 1998 When the Senate held views about the project Young. As happened after 1 and June 2, 1989 When the Senate, at the request of Senator Bennett Johnston, held public hearings on S. 712. And of course, as happened after the June 9, 1959 When it Fernós Muñoz and Attended Senate Energy Committee at the invitation of Senator Henry Jackson, to defend the project Fernós-Murray. And when something will happen? When we stop doing more of the same. 'And what is more of the same on the issue of status? Putting all your eggs in the basket of Congress and the White House. Believing That the president and congressional leadership, Who Have not even managed to agree on the adoption of a single budget since 2008, will pass federal legislation This Year to hold a plebiscite autorun we solve our problem of status. Vain efforts. Convening Only a constitutional assembly-status-convened in recognition of the inherent sovereignty of the people of Puerto Their future Rico to choose freely and democratically-Country offers the real Possibility of leaving the procedural slide we are mired. Why? For discussion of the status shows the four-year election cycle. Because, in Addition, Requires political parties to agree to Comply With The mandate of the people. Unlike plebiscite offers the country the opportunity to negotiate an orderly with Congress to number of complex issues (: such as the scope of dual citizenship and the transition to a new economic model, and even hemispheric security If some form of sovereignty prevails.) The viability of the constitutional assembly has Also been Recognized by the White House in its report of March 11, 2011 and by President Barack Obama in his letter to former Gov. Anibal Acevedo Vila of February 12, 2008. Entire ritual after completion unproductive from public view, lies With The political branches of our government high moral Responsibility to convene the Constitutional Assembly next year in full compliance With The parole given.
