Capitalism Crumbling

Capitalism Crumbling

There was a time when you could expect that cutting taxes for the wealthy would cause wealth redistribution. That was before television. It was back when your neighbor’s doorbell could be rung and you could expect to be greeted, warmly. However, America is as the North Pole socially. You can’t ring your neighbor’s doorbell and expect a warm reaction. In fact, you might expect to be hurried out or else the police will be called. This is because of television. People watch hours of TV a day, and it replaced our conversational skills. Instead, we look at the television with blank stares zoned out for hours a day. Consequently, being rich is like a caste. There is no social mingling between classes, but the rich are hidden away, and they have been desensitized to the plight of common men trying to get jobs.

Sure there are many caring souls out there, but they are working for the non-profits. They are outside of the capitalist caste. This was a class before it was a caste, back when there was social mobility. Instead of redistributing the wealth this capitalist class sees the bottom line. Instead of seeing people, the capitalists see dollars. Dollars are comforting to them, not social interaction. Thus, I see the neo-conservatives as outdated. They have not kept up with the times. George Bush Jr. and his dad and Ronald Reagan would practice trickledown economics. It is a policy that doesn’t work anymore because we have lost the natural element of socializing, simply being human. Consequently, as the non-profits scramble to help people, the capitalists farm their jobs out over sees, and offer poor health care. It’s a system that can’t hold.

President Barrack Obama is no more right than the recent Republican Presidents. He wants to support the lower classes through the government, and basically inflate us to prosperity. This is about as bad as trickledown economics. These sorts of policies destroy the value of the dollar.

It is high time that we actively seek to redistribute the wealth through government, and make the capitalists pay up. It is time to stop them from taking advantage of people that are in a lower caste. It is time to mandate that they stop farming out our jobs overseas. It is time to mandate a living wage. The capitalists need to read the writing on the wall, “Share the wealth or else people will overturn the government.” Politicians are constantly having their popularity fall to dismal levels. This can only happen so many times before revolution. Eventually, people will lose hope that the next politician will make any difference.
