What is American Socialism? Has it been defined?
America's roots are in free enterprise. But, is it free enterprise when of the top ten richest Americans two are WalMart heirs who did nothing to develop the company? The guy who comes up with and implements an idea should be well rewarded as. But, after that we should have an inheritance tax that forces these WalMart heirs to get real jobs.
I put the WalMart heirs in the same category of useless people as illegal immigrants and hedge fund managers. We don't need them. They are parasites. Let them find their own source of income.
It has long been American policy to provide our citizens with a welfare safety net to smooth the financial bumps in their lives. However, welfare is a temporary solution, not a way to secure a living.
I don't know what American Socialism is, but Wall Street and the Republican Party brought America into it in 2008. We taxpayers are shareholders in major Fortune 500 companies. That should give us a voice in the daily operation of each of these companies.
I think each of these companies should have two board members that are government SEC employees to protect taxpayer interests in company policymaking.
Eventually it will all come together in my opinion. These next years will shred many corporations. They brought it on themselves with outsourcing and tax breaks. They forgot that they only exist because American CITIZENS allow them to. American corporations have a charter that government can pull to prevent them from doing business in the largest marketplace on the planet - the United States of America. Slap them hard, put some CEOs in prison, and the rest will get back in line.
I don't know,sounds way too authoritarian to me. Reminds me of the Stalin purges in the Soviet Union or the Pol Pot Genocide in Cambodia. Can't go with you on your plan.
Ok, let's crank it up a notch to where the rubber hits the road.
The point being missed here is that just like the American Revolution, change only comes when the wealthy want it. The 1% has two factions, the greedy Wall Street types, and the Patriotic Millionaires.
"Recently members of the group calling themselves Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength sent a letter to Pres. Barack Obama, Harry Reid (Majority Leader in the U. S. Senate), and John Boehner (Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives). What made the letter notable was that it requested that you increase taxes on incomes over $1,000,000the letter then being signed by a long list of millionaires."
Here is a link to Patriotic Millionaires a quiet group that knows how to twist arms in hardball politics. âPatriotic Millionairesâ | Dissident Voice The Republicans and the Tea Party are going to come out of this like Torries after the American Revolution - assimilate or leave. The Democratic Party in my opinion will get a well-deserved slap into the middle of next week. The result will be an America that serves all legal CITIZENS.
If you have trouble buying this, recall the British in the 1960s and 1970s. They wanted the wealthy to comply with the wishes of the people so they imposed extreme taxes. The wealthy either accepted or changed their citizenship. Withing a few years the wealthy missed their native land, came back and paid their taxes. The American 1% will either assimilate or leave. In my opinion those who leave are the greedy we don't want anyway.
Keep in mind a corporate charter can always be pulled to prevent a company from doing business in the United States.![]()

If Anyone can find a way around the Schemes you create it is the 1%. Unfortunately it is the rest of us that get screwed with your convoluted Bullshit. You want change? Effect it. Start with a New Impartial Tax Code. I challenge you to keep it under 100 Pages.
