[quote:Anonymous Coward 19512059:MV8yMDM5MzAzXzM0MjgyOTE2Xzg3REYxNzU=] I like you're OP. Capitalism isn't the problem, - out of control capitalism is the problem. Anything can be corrupted. The solution is passing a single law: Maximum earnings, capital gains, profit, and fair IP legislation. What range of earnings is reasonable for full time positions? 25K to 350K? This can be discussed ongoing and we can certainly have realistic conversations on what multiple between the lowest and highest is correct given very real differences in ability and contribution. What if I somehow earn the maximum per year in a single day, why would I have incentive to do any more work the rest of the year? The law will be written to have a maximum per day and per year. The details of this will examine the various loopholes that can come about and close them. What about company profit? Well, companies can fill up a savings to help with economic slow times, of course, and beyond that they would direct profit funds towards R&D, better capital equipment, paying the employees more, lowering the prices of goods, etc. What if I get lucky and exceed the capital gains for a given year? You have to distribute that extra to the employees of the respective companies in a fair way. A fair way does not necessarily mean in an equal way… people are not all “equal” so to speak, and we need to give according to the contribution people have given to the company. What about the fair IP legislation? What’s that all about? That’s about companies today making everyone sign something that says the company owns everything you think. Essentially, companies have become farms to harvest IP from their employees, and then the employees can be discarded. This situation needs to be fixed so it doesn’t shunt the motivation of employees. Frankly, why would employees have any motivation at all to truly creatively contribute to their company under rules like this? They would not. It’s really easy to write a few words within legislation to fix this and that’s the key to the legislation – to focus on what maximizes motivation for EVERYBODY! What about the idea of stocks and shareholders? That can remain as is. Frankly, many more people would become legitimate shareholders and it would be a much more thriving and democratic process as there wouldn’t be the 51% which might be just a few (or just one) very moneyed top classers that dictate policies to everyone else. Isn’t this like communism? Nope. It doesn’t resemble it at all. It’s free market capitalism with healthy limits such that many, many more people have savings and are able to become shareholders in companies. It empowers a lot more people than the former system where only a tiny % of the population decides where money goes, where jobs are created, etc. Is this like socialism? Nope. You can still strive for a smaller government under this kind of legislation. The government isn’t redistributing funds by taxing more. In fact, there will be a flat tax coupled with this legislation… so we can strive to lower the tax as much as possible to give people more freedom of choice with their own money. What about luxury items, and large houses? They would remain exactly as is. Remember, the maximum has a FLAT TAX. This means 300K is very similar to what 500K is today, and all kinds of big housing can be purchased with that. Couple this with the fact that housing will no longer be inflated and you can see the type of world that is just around the corner if we simply do it. A LOT more people would have big houses; that’s what would happen. What about a super-mansion or big castle? Well, an individual can’t have one… but a family can pull their resources and if they want to have a castle, then they can have a castle; sure. What about Hollywood, celebrities, and stars? That will still be whatever it naturally will be. There will still be talent shows with judges that highlight interesting and talented things that people do. People will simply lose the irrationally overwhelming endocrine system reaction to become “rich stars.” Instead, they will activate their endocrine systems – with the same amazing feelings they previously were educated to think they could only have if they become rich – as they accomplish things throughout their lives; everyone will do this. Comment: Most fundamentally, this law would involve more people in the decision making processes of society. People would not be completely detached from it and almost everyone would become an investor… REAL investors that matter because small amounts matter. The goal of the investment would not be to get rich, or to get a huge return – because of the maximum earnings law. The goal would become being highly motivated to make great products in order to make a great and amazing society with immaculately healthy cultures all around the world. This is the essence of people power, and you simply have to do it to make it so; you don’t need to wait for someone to give you permission. Just gather together, talk the talk, and make it so. In addition, to fix the 51% problem (if there is a 49% that doesn’t like the decisions), the 49% can form a competing company with the fair intellectual property aspect of this law. This creates, on a very fundamental level, an amazing positive driving force to make the right decisions so people don’t want to spawn off another company. [/quote]

You can call it liberal vs conservative, Democrat vs Republican, NWO vs the people...
No matter what you choose to call it, it's a battle of ideas. Collectivism vs individuality. Self sacrifice vs self entitlement. Sovereignty vs globalism.
There are two very different ideologies in a tug of war right now. The collectivists definitely have the numbers on their side. The whole world is licking their lips at the idea of a weakened America. An America brought down to 3rd world status.
Unfortunately, many Americans have been brainwashed to cheer for their own demise. Into thinking capitalism is evil, because we have been stealthily infiltrated by a system of corporatism and crony capitalism operating under the guise of Capitalism.
Please everyone, educate yourselves. The majority of history on this planet has been ruled by the collectivists, dictators, and totalitarian regimes. Individuality and self reliance and liberty are ideas I hope we don't get tricked into abandoning.
