Canadian and U.S. citizen U.S. Senator Ted Cruz gave a rambling Castro-style never-ending discourse the evils of Obamacare and it's deleterious impact upon free enterprise overnight in something of a filibuster that isn't a filibuster with a vote scheduled to take place. Obamacare certainly has a lot of wickedness to it, yet it is impossible to want to take medical coverage from expanded Medicare for those poor living in 26 states that are slated to get it. Regardless of the merits or lack thereof of Obamacare I wanted to write something about the sophomoric ideas of Senator Cruz on the topic of how free enterprise works and how the middle class becomes prosperous.
If the Senator wants to become the next puppet President (an American tradition since Bill Clinton) he needs to develop more mature palaver about free enterprise and how it is the engine that makes wealth concentrate best yet still making it seem as if the permissible support businesses owned by the middle class are in some way actually the main stream of things today rather than the tail following the 1% around.
In the 1950's the ideas of the Senator actually were closer to coinciding with reality. In that largely before-the-computer era networking and defacto insider networking were not the prevalent kickback loops dominating the economy as they are today. Individual effort and character actually mattered. It was still possible inn America to invent something and afford to patent it as contrasted to here and now. Today invention patents and profits trickle up to the global corporations that employ most of the inventors or at least lawyers that can make multi-million dollar patent defenses beyond the means of America's poor and middle class.
The poor and middle-class in America today are far less able to upscale their individual enterprises before running in to the ubiquitous corporate ownership of everything and every existing financial transaction skimming or taking over about everything that might make a buck. Character is of lesser value now than the 1950s; at least virtue is in disrepute and raving collectivist characteristics and role modelling is what promotes individuals in the collectives and networks totalizing the global economy and outsourcing American independence to a plutocracy. I wish that Senator Cruz had addressed the real economic challenges facing America today instead of presenting a 1950s vision of a free enterprise utopia that is continuously under assault by Wall Street and Harvard University.
Harvard University affiliation seems necessary for a modern puppet President who can exploit its vast global networking alumni to kick back and control about everything. Harvard alumni are America's Rhodes scholars reinforcing the global power of corrupt elites that care virtually nothing about individual American interests or national independence.
Senator Cruz was born in Canada and is the son of a Cuban immigrant. A first generation political class immigrant he has joined the alternative way to move up to the middle class and beyond through government employment. Government jobs are some of the best existing in America regarding job security, pay and benefits. It is the lifeboat of security while the poor and formerly middle class jump overboard into the economic waters dominated by global and Harvard Wall Street sharks smelling for economic blood wherever it may be in the dark pool ocean of networked enterprise.
One can applaud Senator Cruz's effort to repeal Obamacare through the game of economic chicken that would crash the car of state into the wall of federal spending limits due to take effect October 17th of this year. Americans are good at criticizing and posturing. He is all-American in that regard and deficient like most in accurate economic and historical logic. Without ideas about how the economy actually functions these days and the way in which networking and the ad hoc collectivism of concentrated wealth dominates economic development it would be difficult to correct that situation to the advantages of poor and middle class Americans.
