Capitalism, Not A Dirty Word

Each of us has different things to be thankful for and should pause to show gratitude. However, some general things which we all profit by are usually overlooked. For example, did you ever give any thought to the fact that because of our capitalistic system of free enterprise, a person in this country may enjoy many things beyond the dreams of even the very rich of many other countries. Capitalism provides an enormous common wealth which can be shared in some way or another by every American.

You may have begun your life in a hospital which would not have been built and staffed without huge amounts of capital. During the first few days of your life, you were provided with care and medicine which only a collective source of money could have financed. The expenditures for equipment and medical research are so enormous that it is extremely difficult for the average person to comprehend. The personnel costs, past and present, are also a contribution toward our capitalistic way of life. The babies born at home benefit from things like ready-to-eat formulas and prepared foods, whose very preparation was made possible by large capital expenditures.

The wide variety of foods which anyone can obtain without regard to the season of the year would not be possible unless investments were made to produce, prepare, transport, store and eventually sell them. The average farmer needs capital to purchase land. equipment, seeds and also fertilizer which he as an individual could not afford. Not only farm loans but also home mortages are made available through outlays of capital.

When the average homeowner purchases large appliances, furniture and other household items such as heating furnaces, he usually relies on credit which is readily available, and at reasonable interest rates. The family automobile is another example of a typical credit or installment purchase which millions of people in other countries envy. Again, fluctuating but relatively cheap interest rates make it possible for even a young married couple to own numerous items, including a late- model car and a modern home.

Our workers receive compensation for their labor which on a world-wide scale is extremely high. Wages and other worker’s benefits are a direct result of capital being used to better every man’s life and at the same time provide a profit. Insurance and its related benefits are also made possible by capital, whether the person or a possession is insured. Another form of insurance is a pension and the required funds become available because big money, capital, provides profits which can be distributed or reinvested for later use.

Did you ever consider the innumerable facilities provided us by capital? Just a few examples are uitilities such as electricity, water, sewage, telephones, modern highways including bridges and tunnels, mass transit systems and as previously mentioned, medical facilities. The list could continue but the point is that these things and many others are the direct result of capital. Progress results from using money for personal or public projects that benefit the general welfare of our nation. Additionally, education and skills have and should remain the concern of every person who wants to keep our country great and competitive in industry. So let us extend our thanks to God for our being in a country where capitalism is the basis of our wealth both in reality and for future use. We are assured, each of us, of receiving a share of these riches by reasonably contributing our time and labor. We can be thankful that people who have money are willing to use it constructively and profitably for the good of mankind and thus enable us to continue to enjoy our high standard of living. Yes, capitalism is not a dirty word.

The season was 1945, two makes registered together to defeat the biggest risk on the planet, fascism. To put it simply, fascism was a way of govt used by Nazi Malaysia. The makes that registered together were communism and capitalism. These days this would seem to be an difficult mix of philosophy due to the “Cold War”.

Nuclear conflicts were almost began as the two nations around the world tried to confirm to one another that their way of govt was best for the community. Communist believe in everyone have the same or equivalent and capitalist believe in free-markets and only the powerful and hard-working will flourish. At least this was the concept.

The “Cold War” led to 1989 as the USA out invested the USSR in the Reagan army develop up. Because of financial demand the USSR ultimate gasp came with the defeat in Afghanistan. The Germany Walls soon dropped after.

With the USSR design of communism overcome, all sight were on the free-market capitalism. In the ’90s the US financial climate multiplied, and the 2000s the financial climate grew even larger but a new pattern was beginning to occur. Job developing wasn’t the attention, but earning cash off cash was the major way of earning cash. The phrase “jobless recover” start to be the new standard. This pattern began under Ronald Reagan management concept of trickle-down overall costs.

Now, the season is 2012 and in the presidential elections capitalism is on present. Conservatives dispute an assault on capitalism is now an assault on The united states as a whole, as well the nation is seeing the biggest irregular submission of money in its record.

To help type the disagreement, individuals are now concentrating on two kinds of capitalism “stakeholder capitalism” and “shareholder capitalism.”

First, let’s review some basic assumptions.  If humans lived alone on their own private islands with no outside contact, they would need to spend most of their days providing for their own sustenance, shelter, firewood, and makeshift clothing.  They might be able to hunt or forage for multiple days’ worth of food at once, but without refrigerators or even plastic wrap, it wouldn’t keep for very long.  If a small group of them could somehow get together, the opportunity to engage in specialization would sprout – the ones better at hunting or foraging could provide the sustenance for the group while the ones better at collecting firewood could procure enough for everyone, and this distribution of chores would take less time and effort than each person providing his/her own food and firewood.  The extra leftover time could be used to further enrich the group members’ lives, such as by getting more food or firewood (investing in commodities), fashioning better tools or weapons (investing in industry), or by engaging in recreational pastimes.

Like families or tribes, small groups don’t necessarily need to keep score.  If everyone feels that they are doing a reasonable amount of work as compared to the others and are getting more in return than they could provide for themselves, they should be reasonably content.  Bear in mind that any of them could strike out on their own anytime, but would likely choose to live in the group because it would benefit them to do so.  In real life, specialization works – my wife can effortlessly whip up a gourmet dinner for us in less than 30 minutes, whereas it would take me longer to scrape together something not nearly as healthy and delicious.  She’s happy to do it because she finds it easy (if not enjoyable), and it leaves me the time to do chores for which I have a greater interest and aptitude than she.  Together we’re wealthier as a result of being able to focus on the tasks at which we’re more specialists.

As groups get larger and trading partners get more spread out, it becomes more necessary to keep score.  Goods and services may be difficult to divide, or trades may be separated in time or along chains of transactions.  For example, harvests may come in just once or twice a year, but a farmer may need fuel all year; a refiner may not need hundreds of bushels of wheat, but may prefer to trade fuel for finished bread.  Should the baker then trade fuel to the farmer for the grain with which to make the bread for the refiner?  It makes more sense to establish a “money” in which to store the interim value of these transactions.  In regards to large transactions, rather than a shoemaker trading hundreds of shoes at once for a car, it’s easier for him to sell shoes to various customers at his own pace and save up enough money to buy a car over time.

This concept of “saving up money” requires some medium in which to do so.  Grain spoils, fuel vapors evaporate, and shoes go out of style, so the need for a proper currency becomes even more pronounced.  Wiser men than I have made the case that good candidates for currency should be divisible into small-enough units for trade, should be easily portable, should not spoil over time, and should be difficult and costly to counterfeit.  Throughout history, various commodities have served as “money,” including seashells, foods, gemstones, and precious metals.  In prisons, cigarettes often fill the role.

The difference between these hard currencies and today’s fiat currencies is that when we trade for something with gold or cigarettes, tomorrow the recipient will still possess roughly the same percentage of all the gold or cigarettes that exist today.  Fiat dollars are easier to “counterfeit,” (simply by fiat) so if I trade for something with dollars today, and then more dollars are arbitrarily produced in the future, the recipient’s dollars will have less purchasing power at that time.

Generating more fiat dollars is precisely one of the things the Federal Reserve System does, managing the nations’ money supply through monetary policy.  The Fed can also give or lend new fiat dollars to bail out failing enterprises or industries, to encourage lending and borrowing, or to support US interests and foreign affairs.

There is only a certain amount of fossil fuel on the Earth, its scarcity and our demand for it determines its value.  If gasoline could be fabricated out of thin air, we wouldn’t be paying nearly $4/gal for it today.  Precious metals and gemstones work similarly – there are only so much of them available to satisfy demand for them.  Fiat dollars, however, have no such limitation.  Their number can be unceremoniously doubled in a short amount of time, making each one worth half as much in terms of their purchasing power in real goods and services.  Every new one printed steals value from the ones already in our pockets and bank accounts.

The trillion dollars we’ve spent on the war on terror would be a difficult pill for taxpayers to swallow whole, but by simply printing more money, huge costs like that can silently pass, unnoticed.  Over the years, as those bills are paid and those dollars then make their ways back to the US marketplace, they generate surfeit demand for an unchanged quantity of goods and services, reducing our wealth by quietly pushing up the prices of everything we buy.  Since few people realized or understood this hidden force until recently, the government largely wasn’t blamed for inflation – it was assumed by many average citizens to be a normal result of increasing wages and higher employment rates.  Unexpectedly to them, though, it has persisted (with a vengeance) throughout our current recession, despite lower wages and lower employments rates.  This may be in large part an impetus for the current battle cry to “Audit the Fed.”  (Higher employment actually creates more wealth, and higher wages are the fallout from inflation, not its cause.)

Funding wars and bailing out automakers, banks, brokerages, and even foreign nations are all within the possible uses of such quietly-printed fiat dollars.  Control of them is the ability to cripple or hyper inflate our economy, and it’s too much power for one entity to wield.  Any sort of currency that isn’t tied to a hard commodity is simply too easy to corrupt.  As a child, I used to believe that our dollars were backed by gold, so I was understandably surprised when it was explained to me that a five dollar note was worth five bucks solely because it was generally accepted in exchange for five dollars worth of goods.  More exactly, it’s because the government will accept it towards five dollars’ worth of an entity’s tax obligation.  Only more recently did I learn that commodities, when priced in other commodities, haven’t experienced the same inflation as our dollar has.  In 1960, an ounce of silver cost around 90¢, and a gallon of gasoline cost around 30¢, thus an ounce of silver would buy about three gallons of gas.  Today, although you can only get only about one-tenth as much gas for that same 90¢, the same ounce of silver today would actually buy about ten gallons.  Effectively, gas has gotten much less expensive in terms of silver, but both are significantly more expensive in fiat dollars.  Silver and fuel production are severely limited as compared to simply turning on a printing press to produce more dollars, and in this context, the Fed’s lack of restraint becomes obvious.

So what should we do about it?  As countless civilizations have found throughout time, gold and silver are some of the best candidates for currency media.  They are portable, divisible, durable, and limited in supply.  They even have uses outside of just serving as money.  While mining operations can produce more of them, it’s a much slower and more costly endeavor than a printer just flipping a switch on a machine.  Gold and silver coins and bars are an easy way to store value and could be used to pay for goods and services.  Checks and money orders could continue to serve as demands for funds, but could be denominated in weights of metals.  Credit cards, loans, and mortgages could continue to serve as debts to lenders who paid out gold or silver on borrowers’ behalves, and could be repaid over time in quantities of metal plus interest.

One minor nuance of a bi-metal currency system would be the relative value of the two metals.  We’re used to a system in the US whereby one dollar is fixed as being equal to 100 cents, but that wouldn’t work for exchanges between gold and silver.  The market would have to determine that ratio fluidly, as supplies and demands fluctuated, and as each participant set his/her own personal exchange rate.  A car might cost 10 ounces of gold or 550 ounces of silver; an hour of my time might be worth 3.5 ounces of silver or 25 grains of gold.  Gresham’s law would encourage efficient exchanges, ensuring that any businesses or government offices that got their individual exchange rates out of line with the market would find themselves at the short end of the stick.

Taxes would be payable in gold or silver, and government echelons would use that collected gold and silver to pay their expenses and debts.  Just as instruments such as checks, money orders, and credit card slips could represent stored metal, so, too, our government would probably create paper notes of currency to represent their stored metal.  If we’ve learned our lesson from the ills of the current Federal Reserve System, this must be a carefully monitored practice, ensuring that notes are only issued for quantities of metal actually on hand.  A policy of convertibility and periodic auditing should prevent runaway printing of unbacked notes.

There are still opportunities for governments, businesses, and individuals to borrow more metal to spend more than they’ve earned, but inflation is mitigated by the lenders being temporarily required to spend less than they earned – until their notes are repaid.

In conclusion, I think it’s obvious that our present system is broken, and since it is based on the flawed Keynesian assumption that government can better control the economy than could a free market, I see no reason to put bandages on it.  It is easier and more appropriate to start over with better assumptions and design a new system.  Decentralized control of money is safer and permits unfettered markets to do what they do best – find and adjust for the true values of goods and services – without the covert effects of inflation.  If government’s role is to represent us and to serve our best interests, rather than hide expenses in our future, let them tell us what it costs to wage a war or to build a bridge.  If they can get the support for such projects through increased taxes, referendums, or bond sales, the public must want them; otherwise, there’s no reason to force them and their costs upon us without our consent.  The ability to arbitrarily print fiat money wrests control of government expenditures out of the hands of the people who are subsequently asked to pay the bills.  We can no longer afford such a policy.

It can’t be money, it can’t be sex, it can’t be drugs.  Ruling power is all that it can be.
Wow.

This article shows how each nation under Communist or Socialist rule, can get rid of their despotic rulers, just as Tom Cruise and the Bourne Conspiracy would do it.

Imagine the wonderment if all nations were democratic.  Not hybrids but true democracies; no graft, no lies, no loss of freedoms, easier access to health care, border to border infrastructure improvements, jobs, safe environments and never another world war. 

We would need one umbrella Joint Chiefs of Staff, and “replacement trainee presidents and military officers” ready to go to replace those that will be removed by
this movie’s methods and movements.

We would also need to create a new UN cause the current one houses the enemy.

First, we ID the enemies.  They include:

a; China
b; N. Korea
c; Russia
d; Cuba
e; Myanmar
f; Vietnam
g.  other Asiatic nations?
H.  ALL Muslim nations
 
Then, we ID replacement president candidates. And we ask the new candidates to design a new constitution that has no religion in it–for 3 years, no religious
activities would be practiced. 

While religion has its place, as it is, Communist and Socialist nations use fake Christian or real Muslim policies to restrict partly or fully, human rights. 

Thus, all of those policies have to be dispensed with. Thus, no Muslim practices.  Their leader did, after all, gain converts by threatening them, not by loving them.

Of course, in short order, the spies within the Communist and Socialist nations will know that our umbrella group is meeting.  It will meet in a safe, covert house.

“Rules and policies” that are intended to last for a minimum of one month are to be created and then, studied by both US business consultants and constitutional law professors in the US and Canada.  These rules and policies lead the ex-Communist and Social nations  into federal and state constitutions.   This “injection”needs to be put into place as soon as the dictators are “removed.” 

Most of the middle east has, as its weakness, no leaders to step into the void and no democratic constitution ready to be put into use. That is the “killer.”  Iraq took years to put one together while the Iraqi and US military tried to keep the nation together. Absurd. A new constitution is both a band-aid and a surgical tool as well as a legal one; it must be “conditionally complete” and put into effect in minutes after the dictators and kings are replaced.

It is easy to understand why women, for example, will be hesitant to behave as if they have been freed since coup de etats happen frequently–one guy knocks out the current baddie and in weeks or months, he himself is knocked out by the recently deposed or by a new comer as the new guy is often as bad as the one toppled.

Also, our new laws will have to prohibit cultural processes–going after traditional males in the villages who might attack or at least reprimand the females for “going naked.”   [A father and his sons just executed a daughter for listening to American music!]

The biggest blunder Syria and other failing freedom fighters are losing is that they attack in the daylight and overtly.  That is dumb. Since the U.N. will not help the Syrian or Yemenese freedom fighters, the rebels must use military methods: split into squads, attach specific state and federal government buildings and staff.  Turn off water, electricity and phone lines. Use x-ray types of optics to see where in each building, government people are.  Make extensive use of feints; pretend to be one place while focusing on being elsewhere.  Go after the families of government officials and just kidnap them-do not harm them.  Do things quietly, covertly–under the cover of dark and then, scatter or at least, quietly and covertly, return to safe houses.

Also, give each dictator 1 week to leave.  On the eight day, all at one time, blow up the buildings where the kings and dictators do their dictating.  Depreciate their power. 

Use hit squads……never use jeeps to act like roving bandits. 

Each nation must act in concert with the others–so that the dictators and kings know they and their teams are marked. 
               
Sometimes, trusted advisors and body guards will help the rebels eliminate the bad leaders.  Those same guards will be given non guard jobs when the new constitution is put into place.  That will keep them away from the new power circles.

Imagine the economic benefits to the world of forcing out all the dictators:

If there was only a UN force that had teeth like the US army military does, it could do what Michael Renne’s “The Day the Earth Stood Still”’s robot force was designed to do; start a war, die.   If a government officer was accused of breaking a law, he-she would be removed immediately during an investigation [not belatedly] and held under house arrest. 

With only one world military, national budgets could shrink 95%.  Or there would not be any need for any military budget.

With radical religious people stopped dead in their tracks, “religious radicalism” would be stopped immediately.  Praying is one thing but only Christianity, Buddhism and the like would be tolerated because the other religions limit their members to behaviors outside what the law permits/restricts.

With only fairness and equity and all people protected, every nation’s infrastructure would be improved to match cities like Amsterdam, San Francisco, and other dynamic and clean, safe places.

People in every village of the world would have immediate access to health care.  Immediate access to all levels of education and could study any field they chose.  Women, in more than one half the nations today would be able, for the first time ever, to freely move around, hold any job they wished that was open, have any self-employment they chose, and did not need relative escorts. 

With these almost immediate changes, the world’s and nation’s gross national and domestic product would sky rocket.  It would increase because, before this transition, women in many cities and nations, are not permitted to make use of their abilities; they are restricted to being mothers.  Many Arabs who would stop sitting in front of their stores and go and grasp clients and have true businesses, would start earning 4x their current incomes.

Casinos would climb and leap in value in some cities and be closed in others as women and intelligent men would make superior choices on the use of both their living expenses and their discretionary funds.

Dirt roads throughout Africa and Asia would be converted to cement [if viable] and thus, perhaps faster movement.  In those African nations where slaves have been a primary employee source [with no pay] would immediately have to hire staff to do whatever was needed to be done.  Over 1,000,000 people who are slaves would be put back into the free market environment and be able to have free movement.

Those individuals who wish to be intimidating rather than use creative, ethical ways to start and grow firms will find themselves in prison for their life-times and will be given chances to handle high risk tasks for the prison system; being guinea pigs for medicine testing, test out and place, water flow electric generation systems, and settle on asteroids and perhaps the moon [like Australia was a penal colony, the moon would become one.]

Children in Central and S. American nation villages that have no infrastructure would have their villages either eliminated or brought up to city codes.

Street drugs would be removed from society and the Mexican and other nation’s drug cartels would be removed from society and placed with the prisoners on the moon or elsewhere. 

Places like Siberia and the Mongolian desert could be converted into totally safe and comfortable places to live with the rarely used or tried, plexiglas covered cities. 100% of the city would be covered.  All residents would live in a temperature controlled environment. 

World unemployment would disappear.  Intelligence would sky rocket.  Freedom would be the key as long as one’s freedom did not include physically harming others.

Definition

Advantages

Disadvantages

Countries/ Examples

Capitalism

-An Economic system where the trade and industrial activity within the society is privately controlled

Persons Living in a capitalist country are more inclined to work harder, because the amount of pay they get depends on it.

Creates a great divide between the rich and the poor. An example of this is the occupy wall street movement which is currently taking place in the united states movement right now.

United States of America is probably one of the greatest examples of capitalism; the country has no socialized health care, and almost no other socialized programs.

Socialism

-A system of social organization where the entire community controls production and the distribution of capital, resources, etc.

Planned Economy means no overproduced materials, and allows for more jobs.

Decreases the divide between the rich and the poor. By taxing the rich heavily and giving benefits to the poor.

The disadvantages of socialism are quite similar to that of communism. There is less work ethic, and less working people, which mean less industry, which means less tax money for the government. which causes many problems for the government of a socialist country

The formal soviet union was a socialist state.

The people’s republic of china is also socialist, as is the republic of Cuba, and the socialist republic of Vietnam, and the democratic republic of Korea.

Communism

- A system economic system where all the property in the country is controlled by the community, or the state.

Aims to create a classless, which means no divide between people and a no divide between the classes. Creates Equality in a society.

Does not give the same motivation to do well that a capitalist country does, people will not work as hard and stay in school for the same amount of time if they make the same amount of money on a high school education.

There are multiple communist countries still existing in the world today, democratic people’s republic of Korea, the people’s republic of china, and the republic of Cuba

Democracy

- A system of government where all the “eligible” population is allowed to elect representatives.

Allows the citizens of the democratic country to have more say into how their country is being run, and more insight so they may make better decisions to benefit the majority of the people, rather than the minority.

It allows any person to give their say onto an issue, if they have qualifications is not taken into account, people who know nothing about an issue, and may not be informed are allowed to continue their say.

Canada is an example of a democratic country, Australia is also an example, and England is last example of a democratic country.

Monarchy

-The state is run by one single person

If one monarch controls the entire government system it allows for a sense of national pride for citizens living in a monarch state.

The majority of people do not get any say into how the state is run, and if the monarch is doing a poor job, they cannot be removed unlike a state with representation.

Canada is an example of a branch of monarchy; it is a constitutional monarchy, as is Australia.

Denmark is another example of a constitutional monarchy

Oligarchy

-The state is run by a small group of powerful people

Because the oligarchy is run by a group of people there could be many different opinions within the group, resulting in better resolutions of issues

Because there is a large group there may be troubles coming to decisions.

Switzerland is an example of an oligarchy.

Aristocracy

-The state is run by a ruling class of people

Similar to that of oligarchy, many different opinions could result in the better resolution of issues, also the ruling class is likely better educated and would therefor make better decisions.

Because of such a large head of state, there may be miscommunications within the aristocracy, and trouble deciding on issues. Also being the entire upper class the aristocracy would likely be biased toward the upper class, they would make sure the division of wealth was rigged towards themselves.

Ancient Carthage is an example of an Aristocracy.

In the future, when historians look back at the early 21st century. They will come to refer to the time as the Bandwagon Protester movement.

There is no doubt that the Arab Spring is a worthwhile movement to follow and support. However, what I find most annoying are the insignificant and selfish quasi movements.

At the end of 2011 we were almost duped into falling for the Occupy movement. If you are a little unsure about this one – I will remind you. It is a group of white middle class people, the men usually have dreadlocks protesting about I think, Capitalism, whilst drinking Starbucks coffee and coordinating the protest with their Dell laptop or Blackberry. I say I think they are protesting about Capitalism, because they are not really sure themselves. There is also something about the richest 1% and globalisation attached to it as well.

I don’t understand the idiots who decide to protest about Capitalism, it is something that has existed since our ancestors first started trading. Without Capitalism, the modern world as we know it would not exist.

What is wrong with some people being richer than the majority? We all strive to be successful, wealthy and in possession of a better quality of life. To then complain when others achieve this stinks of bitterness and jealousy – GROW UP!!

So this brings us nicely onto SOPA and PIPA – yet another cause that the misinformed and sheep like majority have decided to jump on. These two Bills, have now been suspended – No idea why.

There appears to be a growing number of people who use the internet that believe that they are entitled to everything – This being classified information, illegal downloaded music or films, pirated software and whatever else one get for nothing. Not only do these people believe that they should get everything for free, they also believe that their opinions are relevant or important.

Collectively we seemed to have lost the power to rationalise or to see the other side of an argument. Millions of dollars are spent developing or making music, film or software. Surely there should be laws in place to protect against piracy and allow the developers to profit from their endeavours… Well there are. Piracy laws do exist, but are flouted and ignored by all of us once we go online. Because of the continued disregard of piracy laws, it was felt that dedicated Bills had to be brought in.

The internet sheep believe that these Bills infringe their liberty and freedom, what about the liberty of the developers, film makers or music makers – Does that not matter?

Wikipedia and Google are the biggest names to voice concern over these proposed Bills. I find the concerns of Google to be quite disgusting as they make millions advertising illegal downloading, file sharing and free software sites whenever you use the search engine.

I have a rule of thumb. If the majority are following something – I choose the minority vote.

Remember also – there are still people starving in the world, without any form of education or medical care – is it really important if SOPA and PIPA ever go through?

Finally, if you disagree with my views – form a protest group, I am sure some arsehole will join.

The formation of team spirit (mind-sets) can’t be evaluated, but they can be studied. Why? A tribe of head-hunters hasn’t enough similarity to a tribe of vegetarians and the evaluation is based on the evaluators upbringing. That is mixing three mind-sets to find assumptions of value for two distinctly different peoples. The study brings forth facts, and the facts must be objectively decrypted removing the self. This is objectivity. People are social creatures, and this takes away most person’s ability to be objective.

Measures devised by the self-scale. The information may present value to an individual based on his reality, meanwhile reality and real are hardly related. Facts are not truths, but things occur adding to the pot of real sending off reality’s aroma. In the example above, the observers records and postulations are transmitted to anthropologists for group analytical deliberation. These first three paragraphs are the devices for scientific theory and it can be applied to any of life’s quests, if freedom reigns.

Value becomes the pivotal point. Value and beauty are two very different things, however in equality they are in the eye of the beholder. Failure is ugly and ugly surrounds every beholder during a world recession. The old saying, “use it or loose it” is people’s inability to recognize loss. They are locked in their ritualism. Social cast systems are narrow minded prejudicial people controlling world finance. They are labeling people by value in a capitalist society. Ask yourself, why you have a daily visions of many people going through garbage? They have been labeled nonfunctional by this social system that talks freedom.

The freedom of choice is unlimited in a free society. People are not insects born into a hive of predetermined jobs in support of the nest. Your cast systems implants people and families into such a niche.  This eliminates natural selection for your best Heart Surgeons or perhaps your best Scientists by placing them in medial labor. They now survive hand to mouth. The elimination of the strong are the points of a such a system, because the strong are diligent of the schooled systems, and they do not approve of the practices at hand.

You can make an evaluation within your tribe by looking at your society. Those of you that are elders can look at your friend’s daily tasks and say what you thought of that person as a child. In the Dark Ages, it was common for the sons to kill the parents for power. You may know some street people or cashiers that have minds far above their station. You can evaluate livelihoods by your personal measure from what you see and what you know. Is Johnny or Josephina plastic recyclers, making their worth in life by ripping through your garbage? Is the merchant selling cocaine making a better contribution to your society while living in his guarded mansion? Perhaps you are driving his factory produced motor-home.

Ninety-five percent of the population can not send their children (young adults) to universities even though fifteen percent of them try. Half of the wealth of your country is controlled by six percent of your nation’s populous. Freedom is guaranteed by your constitution. Where is your freedom of choice prioritized under the Constitutional guarantee?

Oh ! men, women, young and old men of great character and capabilities it is time we rise to the challenges in our various countries and replaced this entrenched political power and changed it with new class of visionary leaders among the ninety nine percent. Are you still agitating in your mind whether it will be possible? brethren have you forgotten the definition of democracy handed down to us by that great leader of note if you have forgotten then i will open your memory and tap the right button by define it in this context; ’democracy is the government of the people by the people and for the people if we still hold that definition in high esteem then the power is in our reach because we are the majority.

Oh brethren let us organise ourself and bring forth new plant that will replace this entrench political parties that hold us hostage by creating unnecessary fears in our physique if truly we believe that we are the NINETY-NINE PERCENT before they drain our blood for their masters.

OH ARISE OH COMPATRIOT THE BATTLE OF THE NINETY-NINE PERCENT HAS STARTED  

We are in fact a force unto ourselves, able to think, to organize without the need for guidance from a community organizer. We even know how to get along with each other–for the most part–without the need for a flash-bang at the front door or a SWAT team to gun us down in our own homes.

This concept is hard for you to believe, isn’t it?

No, not hard…it’s impossible for you to believe.

Barack Hussein Obama, you deny the American exceptionalism that is not only our heritage and our birthright but our key to flight. It is that special gift of living in this greatest nation on God’s green Earth that allows us to soar on high at our own volition.

You don’t like to see us soar. Oh, those special few whose piggy banks get stuffed with pork–there’s a bit of irony–and who can rely on your vicious version of crony capitalism…those folks can fly if they’re not too fat to get off the ground.

The rest of us? You’d clip our wings if you could.

We are not your pigeons, Mr. President. We’re not sitting ducks, either. We the People are in fact wide awake, vigilant bulwarks against the tsunami of socialistic programs you’ve thrown (and continue to throw) against the shores of our unique and precious Constitutional Republic.

At the moment, we’re watching the Republican primary season as it prepares to get under way next week in the Iowa Caucuses.

None of us need to watch you. We know what you’re up to, your Obamacare and Czars and Solyndra, not to mention your refusal to fire Eric Holder outright over the Fast and Furious program. Which you most likely encouraged from the get-go; we get that.

No, there’s no need to watch you with your class warfare and your continual shouts of “Play fair!”…which of course tranlates to, “Roll over and play dead!”.

You, with your apologies and your bowing to foreign potentates, your dissing of Israel, your absolute disregard for the beyond-porous border situation. We know you indeed, to our hopefully short term sorrow.

We watch to see who will be our champion against the forces of the retrograde past, the challenger riding strong against the falsely labeled Progressives who would return us to the Dark Ages when true Liberty was nothing but a gleam in a future rebel’s eye.

We watch.

Mr. President, we are not your pigeons–nor are we intimidated by your multibillion dollar war chest, your de facto ownership of the lamestream media, or even your victory lap following the termination of Osama Bin Laden. Rather, we are readying our flight plans as we prepare for liftoff, for spreading the word by air courier, word of mouth, and a thousand other methods: Remember in November.

When the exit polls query citizens, asking how they knew enough to place their ABO (Anybody But Obama) votes in such overwhelming numbers, many an answer will simply be:

“A little birdie told me.”

Cover of Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal

    The modern philosopher Ayn Rand has placed herself as the defender of wholesale Capitalism.

I find her tone of voice better suited for rethoric rather than fiction, however, she has been careful in her style of writing (knowing full well what she was doing) to seductively connect the human psychological need for a sense of high self esteem to give her readers a sense of being the “few and the proud” by embracing her points of view. If you are young and impressionable or are without adequate mental prowess-beware! Ms Rand is more than capable of sending such people on a long journey the end of which would be delusional to sustain! Ms Rand certainly proceeds with an unmatchable spellbinding web of words, crisp, decisive, and filled with the flair of bravado and for those reasons she is compelling alone.

    In the end the arcelles heel of her body of work is the mere assumption that men of technological ability or any range of ingenuity shall also have the acumen of judgement and temperment to be reasonable, Justly, fair , and moral; And that assumption is totally false; undermining her whole body of work. 

    Ms Rand also does a disservice to labor, as it remains in a servile role, when it is clear the men of ingenuity are not smart enough to get all their work done alone, making labor an equal (not servile) aspect of their entreprenueral spirit, and labor need not “cooperate” to be held in such low esteem merely for the “convenience” of entrepueners or Rands point of view or even for their own survival!    To her credit Ms Rand does position for the human mind the best character of Capitalism and also aids in supporting the integrity of individual sovernty while forwarding the concept of a kind of “rightful” selfishness (i.e. a man who buys a newspaper and then refuses to let a bystander read the sports section because he himself the buyer has not read it first would be a type of “rightful” selfishness), however the worst aspects of the Capitalist system, you can be sure, the world is ever plotting to moderate, knowing full well that Marx was relatively correct in his analysis of the failures of capitalism although wrong in the solutions he offered as an alternative.
