Putin's Dacha Cynches Border Deal for Demos

Putin’s Dacha Cynches Border Deal for Demos

Democrats have the best interests of Mexico at the core of their agenda besides persuading everyone they can that President Trump is a racist. Americans might like it if they were as concerned about Americans as Mexicans yet illegal aliens clean democrat houses cheaper. Still. Demos should find it easy to get Vlad Putin another Dacha outside Moscow and to cut a deal with President Trump and congress too.

Though there isn’t anything that directly will make the rich richer in it, Demos can still get some motivation mojo going if they put their butts backs to it. Environmental failure is President Trump’s Achilles heal, and getting a border wall built is required for him if he wants to win re-election since the Demos won’t run anyone with good ideas that is also not a divider and inflammatory as if they cared about issues instead of just getting a particular crotch or color elevated who will make the rich richer. President Trump wouldn’t stand a chance against a traditional good candidate, yet against goofy he has a good chance of a second.


Demos should require that the Von Trump wall be a border control zone with salt water desalinization canals and berms from coast to coast except for select mountains of California where a fence is good enough. The border security canal should be tougher to cross than the California aqueduct yet make fresh water with evaporation and condensation by the millions of gallons. The berm portions could have self-driving patrol cars with electric battery power atop. The project would create jobs and water together with making Democrats seem a little realistic and practical instead of show biz glam-flam.
Demos usually make enough ecosphere nods of the heads with reversible policies to get elected yet that are in the final result just smoke, mirrors, sound and fury, walking shadows, poor players full of bull signifying nothing. Just one solid vast right wing offshore oil spill during President Trumps kill U.S. coastal waters of biological life oil lease sales plan would probably doom his chances for a second term even if he were to run against the Goofy candidate.

Demos should get the border control ecosphere water making berm and canal barrier funded for some serious dollars paid for with zero interest loans from the Federal Reserve to the people of the U.S.A. and wait for a non-goofy candidate down the road to raise taxes on the rich back up to 70% where they belong.
For some time democrats have acted as goofy little tweakers, crybabies and glam-flam abortion and queer coddling spouses of republicans wheedling for more cash and power from hubby- they really should cool that for a while and work on economic relief for the most poor and lower middle class, free public education to the PhD level, free walk in medical treatment for the verifiable poor without meaningful paperwork required and restoration of the national ecosphere in ways even ecoscientists would approve it. The nation already has 330 million souls and it really doesn’t need more—not from Norway or any other nation with royalty, or any where else. Even godless, atheist communist China doesn’t have any of that sort of neon-supremacy crap going these days.

Smarter eco-economists and political planners could restore ecosphere wherever population declines in the years ahead instead of trying to puff it up with new asphalt and immigrants. Improve life for everyone where they are at, and as they become more prosperous let them visit the new wilderness areas on holiday without machines as global transportation becomes cheaper.

One day Russia and the United States may be connected by dozens of hollow spaghetti-tube-like transport lines pushing vehicles trough with pressurized water, air or electromagnets under the Arctic ocean allow surface reserves for wild habitat as global warming endangers human life on Earth. And some of that would be cool even while the oceans become acidified and politicians more dense and corrupt with more concentrated wealth and better propaganda by the broadcast media selling people whatever sort of stupid glam-flam panic or daily hate they need.

Go ahead demos, work with President Trump to get a border security control barrier in place, build a Dacha on a border for Vladimir Putin so he can run with some Canadian-Cuban for President after promising to become a citizen if elected, and finally cut the regulation binding President Trump’s efforts to build an extra-terrestrial ecosphere growing technology on the moon and eventually Mars in new lunar laboratories.

The Failure of Ethics in Evolution

Ethics and moral norms die within modern evolution culture. It is amusing to consider how far the demise of morality and ethics go, for there is no basis for preferring one moral order over another on the basis of necessity, except as one believes in a natural law and necessary moral order inferred fro that. Logicians and ethicists might argue however that any ethics of evolution based on natural law is forced by circumstance and without coherent or compelling necessity.

Some evolutionary scientists that are militant atheists have argued that the sole moral value or imperative is passing on genes. Of course they are entirely wrong about that. It is not at all necessary to pass on genes, and one outcome of evolution is as valid in its entire, complete meaninglessness as any other. Life is itself meaningless and nothing more than sound and fury signifying nothing as Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet.

If contemporary evolution ethics is less meaningful if possible than that of Buddhism, it is interesting to consider some of the formulations possible with the meaninglessness.

If we give symbols for various ethical systems and consequences, moral orders and etc and put them into a mathematical logic expression the results return 0 for meaning. * equals multiplication or process of regard by Evolution...

i.e. Evo * morality = 0
Evo * moral system 1to infinity= 0
Evo * political ethics = 0
Evo * environmental conservation = 0
etc.

Assuredly people can make moral systems and orders themselves and sometimes even collectively yet the result is still meaningless. Power may be meaningful yet the end result of power and politics is meanninglessness. As a Christian I believe in a coherent divine ethics and grace of God yet for evolutionary atheists that is a non sequitur. Athiests have David Attenbororo (I like Mr. Attenboro’s work incidentally) as their defender that they will not be summoned to a Day of Judgment...ahem.

I was motivated to note the meaninglessness of evolution in its own logic wherein everything that exist is phenomenal and a fluke, godless and a kind of joke upon itself after noting a Scientific American blog article taking an indirect shot at Christians via environmentalism. Actually the most important role of Christians is to talk about the Lord Jesus Christ. Scientists should be concerned more with science instead of religion yet as they generally have the polarizing filter of atheism that moves them to view religion as a sociological phenomenon it is irresistible for contemporary scientific evolution based atheists not to try to rid the world of Christians and their ethics as if it would be a better place.

Evolution is however completely godless in the scientific atheist point of view, even though some Christian philosophers regard God as quite capable of evolving anything he deems worth evolving at any time before or after any given Universe he [plans to actually mortal human life in at some point. Scientific evolutionist-atheists today believe the entire concern is one of a requirement that all be atheists because evolution is true and evolution requires a world without God, and that is not logically valid either.

I would suggest that the value of meaningfulness in nature and meaningfulness in words and ideas have some natural validity. Words and ideas have meaning in communication. Valid communication isn’t meaningless and neither is the truth or falsity of expression or words representing ideas. In fact it is challenging to prove the meaninglessness of the Universe and everything in it when sentient beings finding meaning in things, and it becomes churlish to deny in theory the existence of any being greater than humanity or other biologically based life. Evolution-atheists cannot tolerate any sort of immaterial nature of meaning and thought, spirit or values based on spirit though there are some intellectual hazards in attempting to do so. Semiotics must leads to quarks or strings ultimately and meaning must vanish into meaninglessness as a Universe must too even if only to reappear in a cyclic tree of infinite Universe blossoming.

Modern science while being technologically strong is also morally indefensible. That is it hasn’t a shred of ethical validity within its own logic, and that’s the way they want it.



Andrew Jackson Kept the Nation Together

Andrew Jackson Kept the Union Together

Things I didn’t know about President Andrew Jackson were illuminated in watching a video by an author of a 2005 of Jackson…


Apparently Jackson did about as well as anyone could with the problem presented by Indian nations in the east. The author HEW. Brands provides an hour intro to his work-one of a series in U.S. Presidents.

Jackson had a couple of adopted Indian kids- he and his wife had no natural children, and cared about everyone in the nation. Unfortunately the U.S.A. had to major problems not solved by the founders; states rights vs federal rights and slavery. President Jackson actually kept South Carolina from seceding over the issue of nullification. Nullification was the concept that states had a right to nullify any federal law they did not like from existing in their own state. Jackson said he would hang anyone that thought about seceding in South Carolina from the highest tree he could find.

The Indian problem was a tough one for Jackson in the environment of nullification and slavery. He gave Indians of Georgia such as the Cherokee the option of living by federal and state law or moving west of the Mississippi River. No nations independent of federal law including Indian nations could be allowed to exist in the U.S.A. if the nation were to stay together. Jackson kept it together until Abe Lincoln could take over the effort, yet Indian tribes suffered in moving out west where their reservation neo-nations wouldn’t be a problem.

Notably President Lincoln carried out the largest mass hanging in U.S. history during the civil war when some reservation Indians choose the wrong time to riot and kill off the reservation.

Realistically what could Jackson do about either slavery or nullification in the first half of the 19th century? He didn’t yet have NPR to coerce and oppress whomever political leaders wanted to harass

Sea Otters and the Quest to Kill Them

In Alaska there is a movement to kill off otters. Otters are blamed for catching animals that humans want to catch and sell commercially. Human reasoning goes that if one kills off a rival specie taking one’s target game there will be more to catch and sell, and as regards the sea and interior saltwater ecosystem that is entirely wrong.

The sea and salt water archipelago of Alaska is a complex ecosystem with a web of complex relationships easily damaged. The naturalist W.O. Wilson had a student that worked documenting some of the otter’s effect on the ecosystem in the Aleutians on a particular island described in the 2009 book https://www.amazon.com/Where-Wild-Things-Were-Ecological/dp/1596916249

Otters eat echinoderms like starfish, sea urchins and other creatures. Echinoderms eat kelp, and kelp provides habitat for numerous fish-especially smaller ones. When the otters are killed nothing checks echinoderm growth and the kelp beds are decimated at the roots. Though sea urchins  crabs and sea cucumbers are cash crops, otters eat the echinoderms that decimate kelp beds and let small fish grow larger. Humans just don't know how to manage marine life and destroy it with inevitable regularity.



The trouble of course is the top predator in the marine ecosystem that eats about everything else- human beings and fisher persons. They may blame particular species, yet that really is a dope’s game. The relationship is remarkably complex and there is no direct relationship such that culling one species will create more of another directly...it just doesn’t work that way. The marine ecosystem isn’t like catching burglars to stop thieving.

I have rowed a boat to Juneau from Wrangell a few times, and in the 1990s one could view numerous otters. In fact on the east side of Wrangell there were several otter families that I haven’t seen since maybe 2000. When I rowed to Juneau 1n 2013 I had to go all the way past horn cliffs to see many sea otters...that’s a long way.

When people eradicate otters there isn’t so much for killer whales to eat since humans have already eradicated most of the king salmon and diminished the size of other fish species. If one wanted to confirm the fact that the problem is the way humans ‘manage’ the marine ecosphere, all the would be necessary would be to put half of S.E. Alaska off-limits to all commercial and sports fishing or any other game activity for a decade and compare it after 10 years with the half that was ‘managed’ by humans with intense commercial harvesting...what a joke that would be!







MLK Day and the Freedom to Be Wrong About Moral and Political Issues

Each year when the milkman rings in the dead of January, some Americans choose to pause to consider how the only American with a national holiday named for him earned it. Others reach for a bowl of chips and guacamole or they may also watch football or play video games of less value than chess for the creative mind.

Martin Luther King, although named importunately for a democracy that revolted against a tyrannical, oppressive and evil British King and his minions with ancestors that brought African slaves to America to toil in abject misery on their vast aristocratic land grant plantations, embodied the American tradition of individual civil and human rights-self sovereignty-with none above him socially except for God, as a fundamental inalienable principle. Today it is important to remember that the Dream speech was about judging people on the basis of their content of character rather than party affiliation, skin color, foreign immigrant background or ignorance about macro-economics except as that comprises an aspects of character content. Martin Luther King was not a derm or gender, much less a perversion based leader seeking to advance special political interests. Instead he sought general equality for all people who are citizens of the nation equally within the law. He might have hated those that regard themselves as above the laws of the United States, and cross the border to import devastating high-quality meth to which users return like bouncing water birds a year after kicking the habit.

Martin Luther King probably would have respected the fact that President Donald Trump did not take sides in the Charlottesville Klan march conflict where professional agitators clashed with KKK or neos legally staging a march regardless of his personal opinion about the political ideas of the marchers. A President should be the Chief executive officer of the constitution of the United States and let Congress make the laws. What the President should not do is to take sides and stimulate conflict himself and subvert the legal paradigm of full constitutional rights for all citizens. If some have extremist opinions as those of some southern pseudo-Christians and atheists that homosexual marriage is o.k. if advocated by a black President who also supports abortion, the president must respect those misguided, wayward souls and their right to be wrong. I cannot believe that Dr. King would have urged his congregation at Ebenezer baptist to vote for a homo-marriage and abortion advocate, each of which are in stark contrast to the character of the Bible.

Dr. King would have respected the law however, after it was made law, except as he saw a need to violate an unjust law that seemed out of character with the U.S. Constitution. He would not have supported all sorts of clandestine organized crime designers exploiting the poor, nor organizations that victimize individuals illegally just because they are powerful and can get away with it. In the present tech era innumerable opportunities exist for national and international organized crime and narcotics-even human-trafficking that can be resisted only by those respecting rule of all and the sovereignty of individual rights and the national sovereignty of the U.S. border. Dr. King would have recognized easily that the primary responsibility of President Trump is to look out for the interests of the people of the United States rather than those of the globe with so many evil national leaders abroad as there are. President trump isn’t supposed to help MS 13 of El Salvador infiltrate narcotics traffickers into the U.S. heartland, nor support the Sinaloa Cartel’s expansion plans to bring more billions of dollars from corrupt Americans to Mexican gangs that corrupt Mexican civil society. MLK was a realist I his day, rather than a posturing, pompous pretender posing for camera and making silly, divisive, irrelevant speeches that had little effect on the socio-economic well-being of whatever people he represented needed.

MLK saw that his people needed freedom from vermin in local and state government that had the power to intimidate and repress ordinary Americans going about their lives. Today the primary problems with that are wise-guy globalists that would create a U.S. branch of a global plutocratic society lording it over a debased U.S. population. The United States has 330 million souls already---it doesn’t need to double that or add chunks of a million here and five or ten million years. Mexico doesn’t need that and in fact no one does with the limited and rather poorly used resources of the earth in 2018. responsible and stable national ecological economic policy needs to develop with solutions for all the basic problems of poverty and oppression solved right off. The national environment need be conserved and recovered too, as if the Earth were to be a place with a healthy wild element that can exist for thousands of years into the future rather than disappearing within a few decades more.

Would MLK have even been able to have a Holiday named for him in 2018, or would a reputation as being a little fast with women have taken him down? Could he have survived the intense feminine scrutiny of the day or would he have been thrown out with former Senator Al Franken into the dust bin of history as a chauvinist pig? How the content of character issues of tomorrow play out will be interesting to observe.

Shithole Nations and Infrastructure Repair

I am late in getting into the discussion of the controversial language. When the weather is tough getting over the water to town isn’t safely feasible. Decades without electricity or road slow life down a bit. I heard the word shithole on national public radio that I had forgotten existed. Shithole; nothing can be tuned in practically here besides NPR. I think of NPR as the shithole dynasty. Asshole isn’t a racist term. Every human race has many assholes in politics. When a critical mass of assholes exist within an organization they convert the organization to shithole status. Shithole is thus the plural, superlative form of assholes.

Idi Amin’s Uganda, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, Adolph Hitler’s Nazi Germany and its death camps, Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Union- those assholes made shitholes of their worlds. Shitholes pave paradise and put up parking lots. The BP Horizon gulf oil blowout was a shithole. Shitholes spill millions of gallons of crude oil offshore, they gyve vast tax cuts to the most rich and seek waves to make the lives of the poor, worse. Any African nation that a white man or woman can’t walk about in for a couple of months without a good chance of being kidnapped, incarcerated, tortured, blown up, beheaded or other killed is a shithole nation. In fact that standard applies to South American nations too. Asshole political leadership in the mass media and in politics convert healthy societies, or potentially societies and nations into the despond of crude shithole living. People should seek to live better lives in their own nation than, as it were, suffering in a shithole led by assholes.

One Haitian I worked for said the United States is a spread legged woman waiting foreign entry. Democrats like that relationship. Some satisfied corrupt political leaders need power and conflict, protest and demographic support because they lack good ideas about economic reform. Fishy leaders view society imperially-for-themselves .The response from the oppressed is to brexit and let the chips fall where they may. Democrats are about supporting foreign immigrant invasion legally and otherwise, supporting foreign drug trafficking importation and widespread dope usage, and other policies that allow greater tax cuts and power shifts to the most rich plutocrats. Doubling U.S. population just once to reach 660 million would be fine for happy empowered women with fine carpets dope and bureaucrat desks even if they are packed in like sardines and like that nude comfort and familiarity while the lone wolf is just a natural history museum shadow. Democrats will say that border defense is futile and cannot be improved with more fencing, that women should brings leis to the border instead and the age of Aquarius will dawn in a sort of delusional Nurse Ratchet approach to real history based international relations paradigm.

There are a few old words that were deemed obscene long ago by the FCC the left hasn’t forced up into mainstream TV. Words similar to shithole are shitstick and shitheel. President Trump is no Lenny Bruce or Eddie Murphy Live Raw; at least he didn’t use the N-word that is restricted properly for the exclusive use of black rappers. It is an unladylike word; no queer eye for the fudd guy about it.
In fact I had to think about an hour before I remembered where and what the term meant...it isn’t racist originally, although offended African national leaders and others who misunderstand the original meaning of the word apparently want it to be so for political purposes about being offended.

President Trump Alledgedly dumped the shithole word. It was amusing to hear NPR reporting on the ‘obscene language’ of the President this morning as they set him up like a T-ball for criticism from an El Salvadoran facing deportation. The broadcast media itself is a shithole of sporadic organized air-head word-crime twits owned by the rich. If the president wants to have his head as a hologram floating alongside the stone faces of Mt. Rushmore he will need to get free wireless information superhighway Internet 5G lanes to every rural town fast lest they be shithole cities until a Democrat takes office (G.d forbid) (every day we thank G.d that Hillary wasn’t elected).

Neil Diamond, a Canadian, sang that people are still coming to America. He must have understood that everyone wants to leave their shithole nation and move to the land of the rich. Shithole nations have a Wall Street equivalent rating two-hundred percent below junk bond status. How can the United States help shithole nations repair themselves and end the need for there people to flee foreign shitholes? In part one of this report covering shithole nations we shall endeavor to understand just what a shithole nation is. In the second part we shall examine the history of good immigrants to the United States such as Olaf and Magda Nordic, inventors of the Norwegian flashlight (a stick with a candle on the end), and learn how foreigners may become more like Olaf and Magda; model migrant blitz chess stars.

Why might a nation be regarded as a shithole? The word is an American neologism that quickly assesses the condition of a place. In the mid 20th century the term was commonly used to describe the condition of housing...hence a housing developer or an ordinary civilian giving a summary opinion of a home in disrepair might describe it as a shithole.

Interestingly the word shithole as a pejorative evaluative adjective preceded the era of television. The early days of television had strict federal controls on the use of obscenity that disappeared later through radio and then cable TV. Vulgar language became de rigeur in stand up comedy in the United States driving crude and obscene language inti broadcasting where it took root. Yet many words that were somewhat vulgar or obscene were not resurrected for common use in the new era post-censorship of crude and obscene language. A generation or two since before and after the FCC era of complete censorship of obscenity had never heard some of the more rich vulgar American neologisms. They were clean, detoxified from incorrect obscenities generations fed manure and kept in the dark, trained for mindless dopey allegiance to fake imperialism policies concentrating wealth.

A nation cannot become shithole with simple evils like nuclear plant meltdowns, toxic waste dumps, bleeding super-fund sites, vast left-wing public debt, leaking offshore oil platforms etc. it requires a personal touch of shabby housing. Can an entire nation rise to the point of being considered to be a shithole, and is a shithole a synonym for hellhole?

A country with pestilential swamps, extreme oppressive heat, rampant public corruption, high murder rates, terrible housing and very slow or no Internet speed might well be described by a visitor as a shithole regardless of the race of the people that live there. Any nation with royalty is de facto a shithole nation. Even the U.S. Congress may be regarded as a shithole congress the past few decades since it fails ecological economic reform and capital reform in order to keep democracy alive and make prosperity include every citizen rather than those rising from shithole status. Non-sustainable global economics are shithole economics that will transform the world into hellhole status like as not. Maybe the documentary movie Silent Spring presented the ideal non-shithole world free of hellholes with DDT for every problem; the shithole of a world with crawly insects and creepy biological life besides suburbanites that dropped bird do do on chemically treated lawns manicured to a perfect green, better, replaced with synthetic astro turf.

If an investor had considered buying real estate in that country and thus sent an inspector to look it over before purchase and asked the inspector what he thought of it upon his return, the inspector might provide a simple dismissive judgment that ‘it’s a shithole’, ending any interest in buying into it.

If President Trump used the word shithole to describe nations that should not be included as sources of migrants to the United States, it would have been a rare public use of an American neologism that was far more common several decades ago. Yemen, Somalia, Venezuela and North Korea today be thought of as shithole nations except by those that voted for homosexual marriage in the U.S. judiciary, and hence be on the Department of Homeland Security’s list of most unliked shithole nations.

Simple reflection upon the point of view a building developer of a certain class might have comparing for example, the Mar a largo resort to the accommodation available generally in the Congo or Haiti, inform one that Haiti is a shithole in comparison in the lexicon of the developer. The term might hurt feelings yet it would be realistic.
Traditional America is a land of the rich free of shitholes. The most rich Americans have been given vast tax cuts in order to pay a very low tax rate on personal income at just 21% to help them remain in good ‘digs’ and out of ‘shitholes’. With such great wealth being concentrated following on President Obama’s compelling levering of vast Bush tax cuts permanently into law during his administration, it is just possible that the United States may stop its slippery slope slide into abject shithole condition. A physical and moral shithole with dilapidated housing, homosexual marriage, communal soup kitchens where masses suffer and even the most rich must subsist on meager rations of cracker and bowl before retiring to their cardboard hut in the alley; those are just the beginnings of sorrows (not to mention arm-chopping machete).

Any nation that has failed to develop an ecologically sustainable infrastructure and that relies on fossil fuel vehicles polluting the air and accelerating global atmospheric heating may be said to be a shithole nation. Any nation that has a majority of housing with bad paint jobs that a city must be ashamed of; with mold growing, peeling paint and fading colors could reasonably be regarded as a shithole nation. Any nation with a tax rate on the most rich of fewer than 75% on personal income is in danger of becoming a shithole nation as its infrastructure and political forces become nothing more than toys for those living in the gilded age.

African nations and any others living in dire poverty should thank President trump for reminding them that they too can aspire to live in a gilded age with bright light, asphalt parking lots and high quality condos as far as the eye can see. Good opulent nations glowing in the dark, shimmering in the dawn, palatial estates where celebrities gather to share the cocaine and opiods, good music and unlimited chips. It is important to know that the entire planet can have quality indoor carpeting and SUVs with creme de minthe filled jacuzzi baths one day, and the cruel reality of living in shithole nations will fade into distant memories that no one remembers.

A famous journalist returning from an extended stink as a foreign correspondent was asked once, during an interviewing, where he was staying. He replied; ina dumpster downtown...ha ha, no I am staying ina nice house. Obviously he understood what shitholes many people live in around the world and the misery of the life of shithole dwelling peoples. What can be done to stop the most rich from having their lifestyles fall into shithole condition?

Democrats stole the thunder of tax cuts making for the most rich during the Obama years and Republicans had their arms twisted to get their mojos back and wrest the title for tax cuts servo-unit making machines of the rich for themselves. They accomplished that, yet Wall Street and the big banks are forever endangered with the prospect of shit holezation looming over the horizon. In some future administration the congress will likely take up the idea of providing earned income credits for the most rich, perhaps crediting them with a 10 percent tax credit on their income to thank them for being so rich and benefiting so many people for being examples of how not to live in shitholes.

Business Leadership in Government- Low Quality Upgrades?

Business leadership in Government- Low Quality Upgrades?

Does business leadership in government provide low quality upgrades to infrastructure and so forth as it seeks way to increase profits for friends and others in contracting etc? If profit is the primary concern rather than quality or what is good for the people and ecosphere then it is possible that the public gets shoddy goods and services for what they pay, instead of anything good or leading.

Business leaders in government may be concerned about just buying items that work for the best cost and from their favorite suppliers that can return some benefits rather than seeking to find some way to understand what it is that society needs and what new technologies and ecospheric synthesis could best accomplish that.

It is interesting that Mussolini’s PhD thesis was on corporatism. When government is taken over by corporations public interests may just wither as concentrated wealth and power pursues its own ends.

Unfortunately the alternative to corporatism is as misunderstood as is corporatism that too many mistake for capitalism. Capitalism can use reform such that it is made to serve democracy rather than vice versa.

I hope we shall take warning from the example of England and crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations which dare already to challenge our Government to trial, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.”-Thomas Jefferson


Ralph nadir published a good book on the problem of corporatism in 2016 . https://www.breakingthroughpower.org/

Since the end of the cold war some of supported unlimited expansion of capitalism rather than a deliberate, sober, thoughtful approach to governing the nation’s public affairs. Plainly socialism is regarded as the sole alternative and is an excuse for letting a minority of investors take over the government of the United States. Socialism is also an inappropriate form of government for the United States as it also represses individualism and individual enterprise. The correct approach is to reform capitalism such that it serves the people well from the bottom up.

I have written elsewhere about the value of reforming capitalism in order that none are excluded from prosperity. The IRS can hold everyone to account individually, as does Obamacare, yet government cannot individualism employment security such that each citizen actually has work when they seek it. Laws could be made that would provide tax cuts for hiring those longest unemployed or most often fired or laid off that would create practical employment instead of unemployment. Patent periods could be reduced to three years with 10% royalties to the inventors after exclusivity elapses. Tax incentives could be made for ecological and efficient tech infrastructure and business development etc Investors could be limited to owning shares in no more than three corporations and so forth to have a more deliberate approach to investment.
