CAN’T COMPETE WITH NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONS!!!

Competing with international corporations is almost impossible today since there are no international taxation rules and national corporations have too much clout with politicians and the government. The only realistic way to compete with monopolies and big corporations is to make small businesses as profitable or more profitable than big business. This still means passing government laws which will stimulate small business growth which may be almost impossible to do since big money runs the government. Even very low taxes for small business may not be that competitive because some of the largest corporations pay no tax at all due to loopholes in the law.

Amazon is decimating traditional retail businesses and Uber and Lyft are decimating private taxi ownership. Big tech is so big that it squeezes out the small competitors and even seems to be putting a globalist media ideology in control much to the dismay of small media groups. Big corporate monopolies are taking over the country and world and soon they will be able to ask whatever they want money wise for their services. It is a scary thought that many small businesses may disappear from the economic scene in the not too distant future.

Ideally it would be nice if small businesses with approximately 100 million in revenue would be taxed only 1% on their gross income assuming that they do not produce any toxic materials which are released into the environment. Organic food businesses should not be taxed at all to stimulate a healthy food supply for the masses.

Ultimately taxation can be used to promote things or to destroy them so it is up to the smart politicians to stimulate lower taxation where it counts the most, or in small businesses which employ most of the labor force. Yes, revenue from businesses will be minimal and most taxes will come from taxing the salaries of workers which is as it should be given the fact that the biggest corporations pay no tax at all and it is highly unlikely that they will pay significant taxes in the foreseeable future.

Frankly big business is in the driver’s seat and little if anything can be done to change this monopoly situation in the distant future. Even when small businesses start to become competitive big money buys them out and it is big business as usual after the consolidation.

CAPSOCIALISM: THE JUST WORLDWIDE SOCIETY

Quotation-Deepak-Chopra-society-generations-Meetville-Quotes-209074

Sharing emotions about past events is called empathy but most of us think of sharing as the sharing of a possession or an experience with someone. 

Learning to share does not come naturally to offspring who are very possessive and don’t usually want to share their toys.

Philosophically communism is sharing property which no one legally owns and it has been an abysmal failure because something which one doesn’t own is usually something which one does not take care of very well.

Owning of property by two humans gives rise to an ethical question. If one breaks the property then who pays for fixing it or is responsible for fixing it? Is it both parties that have the responsibility to fix it or is the one responsible for breaking it the one who pays to fix it?

Communism says it is both parties that bear the responsibility for fixing it and that is why injustice is felt by individuals who basically have to pay for another’s mistakes which includes reproductive mistakes or mishandling of the property which should include your genetic offspring.

Mutual ownership is practiced by some rare communal groups and cooperatives but they are frequently not very stable organizations because someone always feels that one is getting most of the benefit out of communal property and the other is left shorthanded. That is why the right to private property and private offspring is such an important right since it assigns responsibility of the property to the owner of the property who then is responsible for taking care of it. If the owner of the property including offspring does not take care of it then they should be penalized for mishandling the property.

Taxation is sharing your wealth with the government bureaucracy and the general welfare. This is why humans think it is unjust if the government is doing an inefficient bureaucratic job and giving their money to special interests which do not benefit the general welfare. Citizens are only willing to share their wealth voluntarily if they feel that the government is doing a just distribution of their wealth for the whole nation.

If given the choice of being taxed or not taxed most citizens would voluntarily opt out because the present state of government is so unjust and most, except for the wealthy and those on welfare, feel that they are contributing more than their just share to the operation of government.

The higher the taxation the more communistic or socialistic a nation becomes and the less efficient and unjust it becomes in sharing your wealth with others.

Socialism is delegating personal responsibility to the government where government increasingly becomes a parental figure taking care of all of your life’s needs. If you become sick, it is paid for by others, if you have offspring they are subsidized or partially paid for by others, if you become unemployed you get generous financial support from others until you get another job.

That many citizens begin to work the system or milk it for maximum personal benefit is the result of socialism and this parasitic nature causes the costs for the nation to increase without any motivation to decrease the generous support in the long duration. 

You get rewarded generously for being sick, for being a mother with children, and for being unemployed. The result in the long duration is more sick humans, more unwed mothers with children on the dole, and many on never ending unemployment benefits. The incentive to work greatly decreases and the long duration result is a bankrupt social system where almost everyone prefers to be on government welfare benefits. The ultimate result of progressive socialism is a government ruling bureaucracy with everyone dependent on it or in reality communism which is a colossal historical failure.

How do you put the incentive to live financially responsibly back into socialism which so desperately needs it?

Create two classes of citizens. One class the destitute and unemployed who are totally dependent on the government and the other a working class which is totally responsible for its own medical care, unemployment costs, and child support. If you bankrupt yourself with medical costs, unemployment costs, or child costs then you become a member of the destitute and unemployed class totally dependent on the government with a low standard of living and little free choice.

If you are totally dependent on the government then your voting rights will be less or a fraction of the voting rights of working citizens. You will lose your right to a motorized vehicle and be dependent on government door to door delivery of basic standardized needs such as food, drink, clothing, sanitary needs, cell phone, and computer and you will live mostly in high rise apartment dwellings with or without offspring.

If you are single then you will be sharing that apartment with other welfare recipients sleeping in bunk beds more than one to a room. In effect it should be a prison like system without locks so you have the incentive to go on the internet and get reeducated in a useful job which will result in mobility freedom and the luxury of purchasing what you want and when you want it. Yes, there will once again be an incentive to get back into the work force and enjoy basic luxuries such as food and drink which you like and a dwelling in a location of your personal choice.

Yes, incentive can be put back into a socialist system but you will need two classes of citizens with different political voting power so that those on welfare do not enslave the working class of citizens. What is this new updated form of socialism called? I don’t have a name for it but it can be called Capsocialism or a mix of responsible capitalism with the social need for a safety net for the destitute and also unemployed!!!!!!

EVERY HUMAN IS NOT EQUAL ALL THE TIME and if you are destitute and unemployed then you are not equal to the working citizens of a nation. One person one vote because everyone is equal all the time? No they are not! If everyone has equal voting power throughout their lifetime then communism is the long duration unjust result. Yes, as soon as you are employed you get back your full voting rights!!!!!! The concept of human equality in its present form is outdated and needs radical revision!!!!!!

Financially independent responsible healthy citizens and families are the necessary backbone of a just society and that means that you should be rewarded for being healthy, having a job, and responsibly taking care of your offspring. If you aren’t healthy, don’t have a job, and can’t take care of your offspring financially then you should be punished with a lower standard of living than the employed financially responsible humans.

This kind of a just society promotes the reproduction of healthy, educated, good parents who feel a caring responsibility for their offspring. Once again responsible citizens will be justly rewarded and financially irresponsible uneducated citizens without a job will be punished justly for their irresponsibility. There will be an incentive to remain healthy, to be educated with a job, and to have offspring only if you can afford them financially.

Society will once again have just purpose and those financially responsible will reproduce in greater numbers than the financially irresponsible ones. Today the financially irresponsible members of society are being rewarded disproportionately and that is why all the responsible working citizens in the society sense profound injustice and there is family breakdown with the offspring suffering the most and handicapping the next generation.

A financially irresponsible society gets more unjust from generation to generation and a financially responsible society gets more just from generation to generation. You can control society with money in a just way or you can control society with money in an unjust way and I think that controlling society with money in a just way is preferable.

The financially poor are always at a disadvantage in any society because their education is relatively bad and useless and a cohesive family structure is not encouraged financially resulting in irresponsible behavior and a high crime rate. A lower standard of living WITHOUT MONEY to spend on drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, and unwise luxuries is necessary coupled with an incentive to get reeducated or educated in a useful job is vital.

Ultimately useful interactive audio visual education in the home for both parents and offspring should be the goal in an upwardly mobile society where a secure living environment exists for parents and offspring and a desire to get off of a standardized MONEY FREE living environment which has no special mobility and no freedom of choice to buy what you want and when your want.

Humans on welfare WITH MONEY TO FREELY SPEND make largely bad choices in food, drink, clothing, lifestyle, and education and they must be motivated to get usefully educated so that they can successfully join the financially responsible working class. Humans and offspring living in a drug free crime free environment with financial minimum security can be motivated to join the financially responsible working class through personal time, effort, and achievement educationally which is the foundation of a healthy responsible living lifestyle.

Everyone will not put in the necessary time, effort, and achievement to become employable so they will be destined to live a totally dependent welfare lifestyle for the rest of their lives. They will not be profligate money spending irresponsible spending units and will not cost the working taxpayers that much money and they will be living efficiently with minimum cost to the nation.

If they reproduce irresponsibly then they will not get more money from the government for additional offspring but will be punished by having to live with many adult offspring in a congested lifestyle for the rest of their lives if the offspring do not get properly educated and join the independent lifestyle of the working class.

Do you want to have badly educated adult offspring living with you for the rest of your life or are you going to make sure that they study hard and become employable members of society and go out and make it on their own leaving you to live in relative comfort in your old age?  

Just population control will exist in society and the financially poor will be incentivized to work hard at educating themselves so that they can become financially contributing members of society and not the other way around which is becoming lifelong parasites on the society and contributing nothing towards the general welfare of society.

Capsocialism will ultimately make political parties obsolete because the only financial issue will be how much money will go towards the support of the destitute and also unemployed. The other primary role of government will be to ensure the survival of biodiversity, wilderness, and a minimally polluted environment so that future generations can live healthy productive lives.

Do we really need pseudo political parties which unjustly benefit their special interests which is the very rich and those on welfare? Political parties are an unjust anachronism which change corrupt leadership and solve no social problems in the long duration.

China and Russia can also institute Capsocialism with only one party in control and create a just society without the need for giving voting rights to the public. Smart political leadership which solves social problems is what is needed and not stupid leadership which rewards profligate spending and irresponsible reproduction in society.

Capsocialism means that there will no longer be a need for government funded social workers who solve no social problems but make them worse. There will be less need for psychiatrists, doctors, and jails because the poor will be free of drug use and dysfunctional financially irresponsible lifestyles. They will not be involved in accident prone dangerous lifestyles and will be eating healthy standardized food which will result in minimal medical expense funded by the government.

The truly poor will have no free money to irresponsibly spend on social vices and society will improve from generation to generation and not become more dysfunctional from generation to generation.

The concept of true social freedom will have to change to one of true freedom only if you are financially responsible with money. If you are financially responsible with money then you are a true adult and can spend it almost any way that you choose provided that it does not endanger the lives of your fellow working citizens.

If you are not financially responsible then you are not an adult yet and will have to continue your education until you qualify for adult working responsibility. Adults on welfare are realistically only dependent children dependent on the taxpayer’s money and their lifestyles must be controlled or supervised as are the lifestyles of children.

How do you transition to a Capsocialism society? My evergreen truth books CHANGES IN WELFARE LAWS, EDUCATION REFORM, JUSTICE, and NEW CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES outline in somewhat great detail how this can be done. Join me in trying to make this world a more just society by promoting the principles of Capsocialism.

THE TRUTH ABOUT POWER

political_power-305x211

Power (political): n. controlling humans and/or energy and matter

Power (physics): n. force times distance per unit time

Politically the most powerful are the international banks, international corporations, and governments. Also powerful are organizations, local businesses, parents, and humans.

Humans are controlled with money, laws, and moral behavior. Those who control the money, laws, and morality are the most powerful humans.

Without a strong moral foundation, much power corrupts humans who want more power by making more money and passing corrupt laws which grant them more power or more money and control over other humans and the world.

Everyone needs energy from food and other sources to survive and live and this is why food and energy corporations are so powerful. Money is the primary tool used to control energy usage in society and the laws determine who gets the most money or energy and matter which is stored energy.

Taxation and prices for information and/or goods and/or services are the primary tools used to control energy and matter usage. Laws distribute the wealth in a nation and determine who gets most of the wealth and who gets the least amount of it and in effect who is the most powerful and who is the least powerful in a nation.

A frequently overlooked important factor is the fact that an immoral society is ungovernable and plunges into chaos. It is vital to reestablish a universal worldwide secular morality which should be taught in public schools to young impressionable minds which are not religious.

Except in emergency situations-don’t destroy biodiversity, don’t lie, don’t be inefficient, don’t steal, don’t commit adultery if married, and don’t murder. To get more just laws to eliminate the unjust ones you need a strong moral code which most of the citizens believe in to guide them in their daily decision making which is largely impulsive and not logical.

Leadership which grows out of a sea of immorality will be unjust and dysfunctional because there will be no trust between the leadership and the led. Authority figures must be admired and respected for their moral virtues if a society is to voluntarily and peacefully interact. A morally failed leadership and immoral citizens can only be controlled through fear and intimidation and this is a very inefficient way to run a country or the world.

THE TRUTH ABOUT TAXES

efficient-tax-man

The IRS rules are more than 3000 pages long, the Affordable Care Act or Obama Care is also about 3000 pages long, thanks to special interest laws or legislation many corporations and businesses pay no taxes at all, and the poor workers only pay social security tax and no income tax. What is the solution to this unjust paperwork nightmare? Simplify the tax code and legislation.

Historically you had to give about 10% of your income to your religious organization. That is historically fair or just and 5% to 10% of everyone’s income should go to the government.

Accountants should not be engaged in busy work making deductions for mortgage payments, medical expenses, number of dependents, charitable contributions, losses due to theft, etc. for individuals. Accountants should not be making business deductions for meals, business trips, furniture, machinery, etc. Accountants can actually frequently reduce your taxes to close to zero and this is unjust taxation because many escape by paying very little tax or no tax at all.

Sustainable non-polluting businesses such as organic farming, organic wholesalers, organic restaurants, car repairs, etc. shouldn’t be taxed at all because they are excellent sources for jobs where the workers will be taxed on their income.

Polluting businesses should be charged a tax on gross income not to exceed 20% and they could qualify for no taxation if they figure out a way to be a sustainable non-polluting enterprise. This will encourage businesses with money to be non-polluting and invest their dollars trying to become non-polluters.

Competition is international and corporations should be encouraged to manufacture in the United States with zero taxation if they are a sustainable business like the BMW plant in Chattanooga Tennessee. The jobs which they will provide will be the source of revenue from the corporation.

To discourage rampant consumption of information, goods, and services there should be a flat national sales tax of about 10% on all information, goods, and services consumed by the public. This money will primarily go to the armies of unemployed and also destitute which will be displaced by technology and the government should provide free technological education on the internet for all those willing to put in the time, effort, and achievement at any age so that they have some hope of reentering the useful job market.

We need a lean, efficient, just government with a safety net for victims of technology and no safety net for inefficient polluting corporations and businesses working in the red and constantly lobbying for government handouts.

Money is a motivating tool and we should all be using money wisely to promote sustainable behavior and businesses with 0% taxation.  Humans will benefit with more jobs and better health through healthier food, drink, and a minimally polluted environment.

STEALING CAN BE JUSTIFIED UNDER 5 CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!!

stealing

Steal: v. to illegally take by force and/or by the threat of force and/or by fraudulent means

Murder or killing is stealing life, adultery is stealing fidelity, lying is stealing the truth, and being arrested is stealing mobility. Whatever should be illegal in society is discussing whether something is being stolen and under what circumstances the stealing may be justified, which is frequently emergency situations.

Stealing is not an absolute moral law even though stealing possessions is almost always wrong. Stealing has exceptions and it can be legally permitted within reason under five general circumstances: During a self-defense war, in personal self-defense, for food during food emergencies, taxation, and law enforcement or public self-defense.

During a Self-Defense War:   Any and almost all stealing variations can be permitted during war with the exception of mutual nuclear destruction.  Forcibly taking the life of enemy soldiers and destroying or forcibly taking enemy property during war is an example of stealing enemy life and property which is justified as long as you are the country that was attacked first.

Starting a war should be a crime but fighting one is not a crime if it is done in self-defense.

In Personal Self-Defense:   One should try to use minimal force in a personal bodily attack unless instant death is threatened or a struggle against a lethal weapon is involved.  If you are struggling against the threat of a lethal weapon and kill the attacker in the process then this is legally justified and you should not be punished such as going to jail.

Defending your personal property with a lethal weapon under circumstances where there is no legal authority present is justified.   An honest armed citizen is the best defense against a national tyranny or the tyranny of criminals when law enforcement is on strike or out of not present during an emergency such as a hurricane.

Even under normal conditions an honest citizen has a right to defend his property with a weapon against invasion by drug addicts and sociopaths when the police are not immediately present.

Stop or I will shoot you in the leg!  This is an example of a threat which should be permitted especially by businessmen who are just trying to protect their property when the police are not immediately present.  If the criminal is maimed for life then it is a just result since it is a just price to pay for giving in to drug addiction or criminal temptations or being mentally out of lawful control.

Stealing a life in self-defense can be justified as shown above.

For Food Emergencies:  Stealing food when one is starving to death is understandable as long as the person from whom the food is being stolen is not also starving to death.

It also is acceptable to forcibly steal the life of domesticated animals and plants which we use as food.  On the other hand we should not steal the life of wilderness plants and animals so that biodiversity may be conserved and even expanded.

Stealing the real estate which wilderness plants and animals live on is a not so obvious way of reducing their numbers and thereby also reducing biodiversity.  Yes stealing the life of wilderness plants and animals and stealing the land that they live on should be a very serious crime!

Taxation:  Stealing money from individuals through taxation is legal and justified to provide military security and government services that theoretically promote the welfare of the nation even though there is a tendency for the government to also promote with special laws special interest groups that have political and/or economic power and frequently have little or no connection with the general welfare.

The government is using the threat of severe fines and even forceful imprisonment if you don’t pay your taxes.  Yes the government is stealing your tax money but it is legal!  Huge amounts of money are stolen by the government and the higher the taxes the more unjust the government is and the more of a thief the government becomes.  Government distribution of taxes to special interest groups and poor members of society not based on merit is an unjust distribution of wealth.

Law enforcement or public self-defense:

When police make an arrest they are nonfraudulently stealing the right to free mobility from criminals and law violators who are endangering the public safety.

When the mentally ill or drug addicts under the influence of drugs  threaten people in motor vehicles they can be forcibly arrested.  When criminals are arrested for their crimes force and frequently the threat of force is used by the police.  Another way of communicating it is that police have the right to nonfraudulently steal some of your liberty if you have committed a crime or are immediately endangering the lives of innocent people.  Thus nonfraudulently stealing the right to free mobility or nonfraudulently stealing some of your liberty is legal when justified and done by the police for justified reasons.

Law enforcement is nonfraudulent stealing justified by society for the greater good or welfare of all its citizens.   Almost everyone doesn’t feel that police steal anything but I have just shown you that police do in fact legally and nonfraudulently steal some of your liberty if the law and real circumstances justifies it.

A final note. To combat cyber criminals who prey upon the public it is possible to justify eavesdropping or stealing information from suspected criminals who are using the internet and that means being able to spy on their money transactions on the internet by accessing their personal account information which may be anywhere in the world. Coordinating this kind of stealing of information across international borders is a problem yet to be solved by some international laws which all the countries of the world should comply with.
