Default Re: "Transforming Capitalism"

the first thing we must do is realize we are not currently a capitalistic society. We are under the thumb of Corporatism. The money barons of the old west are back.

The rich are getting richer, the middle class is sinking fast. Our money system stopped working in 1914 when the fed was established.

Everything we need to reverse this trend is in the Constitution. The founding father knew exactly what they were doing when it was drafted. Sound money can only be backed by gold and silver.

As long as corporations and foreign governments are willing to send good paying jobs to low paying factories in china, destroy ancient economies in china to force slave labor in factories, off sent the cost of production onto the employees instead of having the true cost of the product payed for by consumers...we cannot ever have a fair and balanced economy.

In reality the cost of mining materials, production, waste management of facilities and living wages would increase products made in china by 10 fold. But in order to keep that cheap radio cheap...the cost of manufacturing the product is actually placed on the employee and not passed onto the consumer. If it were than imports would be 10 times more expensive and local economies would come back.

Instead we are being programmed by TV to spend, spend, spend. Products are actually made to fall apart or get outdated so we must buy new.

when people say "they don't make them like they used too." that is a very true statement. They used to make things to last, quality over quantity. Now, they make things to be thrown away so we must buy another.

this economic model started in the 1950's. It's a complete failure and we need to return to the old economic models prior to that time.
