A world without Capitalism
What if we had a world without greed. People not profits? You cannot control the economy without first controlling people. – Ronald Reagan
if i wanted America to fail, i would make baseless, hyperbolic remarks based on speculation and political bias in order to turn our citizens paranoid and against each other…i would make corporations the God’s of our time, with no oversight or regulation, because THEY are the ones looking to provide consumers with fairness and quality, and can be trusted to keep themselves free from corruption and fraud…i would completely privatize health care, education, police and fire departments, because the one’s who can’t afford it, are just parasites sucking the teats of honest taxpayers…if i wanted America to fail i would allow anyone to disobey any law, refuse any service, and discriminate any person in the name of religious freedom, unless, of course, that religion is anything other that Christianity…if i wanted America to fail, i would vote conservative.
If I wanted America to fail, I would use a simple lesson from history — Most revolutions are a result of poverty and income disparity. The poor get poorer and the middle-class slips into poverty while the few remaining wealthy citizens continue to do all they can to build their wealth while turning a blind eye to the suffering masses. At some point, when things are bad enough for enough people, it only takes a spark to ignite revolt. So… How would I go about increasing poverty and income disparity? It’s quite simple really. I would lower taxes on the rich. I would reduce regulations on corporations. I would reduce spending on social programs, entitlements, safety nets and education. I would do away with unions. All these actions would increase the wealth of the few at the top while reducing the income and well-being of the middle class and the poor.
On the other hand, if I didn’t want America to fail, I would use a different lesson from history — Several revolutions have been staved off by the government stepping in and dramatically reducing income disparity. How did they do this? They increased taxes on the wealthy and used that revenue to pay for social programs, education, job training, infrastucture spending and other works programs which lifted many out of poverty, gave many a chance for a better life, and increased the cash flow through the economy so much that it spurred growth.
Now, I know that there is a Republican “faith” that lower taxes on the rich and less regulations on business will lead all Americans to the promised land. But if that really works, why are we not all in Heaven after 8 years of Bush?
If I wanted america to fail, I’d vote Democrat.
