It
is true that socialism as an economic system isn't self-standing
without being repressive on creativity and individualism. It is also
a fact that badly regulated predatory capitalism becomes criminally
repressive, concentrates capital so far as to resemble aristocracy
and is generally loutish in owning the broadcast media and buying
ass-kissing politicians. So what is the Democrat party to do with a
socialist running against a would be imperial dynasty mouthpiece for
global imperialism?
Well,
the nation needs a one-party system to get anything done these days.
On hopes a self-thinking independent moderate President working with
conservatives of the same party lightens up and increases the tax
rates while government size is cut and existing programs made more
effective. Maybe Trump can do that.
Since
the Congress isn't socialist Sanders won't be able to create
socialism. When government owns all business it gets really dumb.
Widgets begin to grow like potato sprouts in a root cellar infected
with fungus, although there is enough food to eat for a while.
Sanders is the only Democrat with a backbone though and would be a
hard negotiator for party and public interests in increasing taxes to
a non-deficit creating size while Republicans cut government size
over all.
Obamacare
needs to fail. It leaves out the poor that travel to look for a job
and aren't really able to qualify for Medicare or subsidies
anywhere. The best way to save money and assure all American citizens
are covered would be to expanded the V.A. and treat all Americans for
free that earn fewer than 15,000 dollars annually networking with
community public health clinics and other poor people's service
clinics that would let anyone without any money saved get treatment
at a rated sliding scale according to their income for all earning up
to $20,000 annually. Emergency services for those that are chronic
and out of funds should be another program unless they can fit into
the V.A.-Public health system. Taxes would be increased to pay for
treatment for the poor.
Trump
and Sanders seem to be the real live candidates this year. I would
have that a Ralph Nadir clone with a degree in ecospheric economics,
a M.T.S. degree and experience as an LT in the U.S. Army was running
on his own financing, yet will have to wait for another cycle.
