Project 2025 (Taylor's Version)

For preventing the Excess-Mind-Virus, which plagues American life, from destroying our great Nation

By Annika O’Melia (2025)

It is a grievous spectacle in these United States to witness the unchecked spread of the Excess-Mind-Virus. One cannot turn on a television or stroll through an affluent enclave without encountering the billionaires: fleets of private jets and luxury vehicles, ballrooms plated in gold, surgically altered faces nipped and tucked beyond recognition.

Though billionaires comprise only 0.00032 % of the population, their influence metastasizes each year. They are celebrated in television, film, and on sporting fields, endowed chairs and entire academic departments trumpeting their plutocratic ideals, and create cryptocurrencies in their own image, seemingly pulling wealth out of thin air. Meanwhile, New York Times bestsellers such as Capitalist Baby slip into school libraries, indoctrinating the young into money-worship.

Scientists have hunted for a brain-based cause for wealth dysphoria, yet no scan or lab test can detect it; reasonable minds conclude this condition is chosen, not innate. Some argue greed lies on a continuum, but any clear-thinking person sees the binary: either you are a billionaire, or you are not.

The most egregious offenses of this lifestyle strike at God and the Republic itself. What sin does Jesus warn of more than any other if not the accumulation of wealth at the expense of loving your neighbor?

“No one can serve two masters… You cannot serve both God and money.” – Matthew 6:24 / Luke 16:13“

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” – Matthew 19:23–24

“Woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.” – Luke 6:24

“Sell your possessions and give to the poor.” – Luke 12:33

Our Founders, too, sounded the alarm. Thomas Jefferson, influenced by John Locke’s “life, liberty, and property,” famously chose instead to write “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” declining to enshrine ownership above human flourishing.

George Washington, in his 1796 Farewell Address, warned that “the spirit of encroachment” and "overgrown wealth" could corrupt the republic if it infected politics.

Benjamin Franklin noted, “Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one.”

Both Scripture and the Founders testify: unchecked wealth is incompatible with a just republic. What examples are we called to follow and emulate in our great Christian Nation if not those of Jesus Christ and our Founding Fathers?

The Excess-Mind-Virus now infects the highest offices of the land. Children suffer the toxic normalization of capitalist greed and money-worship modeled by leaders whose net worth soars as public schools crumble and families scrape to pay rent.

Allowing billionaires’ participation in a competitive market amid soaring inequality is about as fair as permitting a performance-enhanced silverback gorilla to compete in girls’ sports. If we do nothing, democracy will wither under oligarchic rule.

Therefore, it is necessary — in the most sober, patriotic spirit — to advance a new plan: Project 2025 (Taylor’s Version).

Core Goals of Project 2025 (Taylor’s Version)

• Define wealth status as binary: billionaire or not billionaire.

• Amend federal law to define net worth over $1 billion as a risk to democracy.

• Eliminate civil protections designed to shield billionaire power.

• Redistribute wealth away from billionaires in keeping with Jesus’s teachings on generosity and humility.

• Reshape education and culture policy to reduce wealth, oligarchy, greed, and exclusion (WOGE) ideologies.

• Promote Christian ideals of love, neighbor-care, and welcoming the stranger

  
  

If your brethren object, saying we must love our greedy neighbors, remind them of John 8:1-11. While many focus on Jesus's mercy and call for non-judgment, it is equally important to remember that Jesus went to the prostitute and said, "Sin no more." We must match our mercy with truth-telling and offer the love of our honest message: that a lust for excess threatens one's very chance for salvation through our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Let us act before this contagion consumes the soul of America.
