gvnmnt initiated socialism is nothing but a way for the hard worker to be punished and the slacker to be rewarded. as someone mentioned in another thread, it might work in certain EU states because they have a much less diverse culture, but here, in the USA, we have everything from useless slugs to inspired industrious people... while it's a romantic notion to say that opposites attract we all know that opposites also kill each other after a while!

I'm not saying to punish the industrious person, just limit the amount of greed and influence he has over society in general. I think it's alright for some to make more than others, and If you don't want to participate at all, maybe find a state (Arkansas comes to mind) where you could put all the slackers and feed them protein pellets, like fish food to keep them alive. provide no comforts and no rewards unless they show some iniciative, then gradually integrate them into society. On the other end, the Kingfish, need to be taken down a few notches, no more palatial estates with more money than they could burn in a hundred lifetimes. For sure they need to be rewarded for their hard work and sacrifice but limit their wealth and power to no more than ten times the mean average wage. Put some sense and sensebility back into society. The avaricious greed factor is out of control and is making everyone crazy with desire. It's the wannabees that are keeping the insanity alive. If we need a picture of indecent wealth, maybe we could institute a king for a year scenario, where by a lottery type draw, some lucky stiff is rewarded with a palatial existence for a year. Meanwhile, turn all the palatial estates into homeless housing and build low cost housing on all the luxury golf courses, afterall, golf is one of those worthless games enloyed by the Idle rich and Business scoundrels to make illicit deals. I'd say at the current state of affairs and inflation, around a hundred grand per household should be the median wage, or 50 grand per wage earner. Hows that float your boat. At least I'm thinking of ways to improve the general populace, and fuck the rich imperialists (plutocratic ogliarchs) [assholes]! |
