So what do we do?
Conservatives run around screaming "Class envy" "they want to take from the rich and give to the poor".
We need to look at our existing and future policies and ask "Who benefits the most from this policy?". In the overwhelming majority of the cases, it will be the wealthy
Why do we continue policies to help the wealthy accumulate and protect wealth when they obviously don't need it?
Don't give cash to the poor and working class, but invest in programs that reduce their social risk. Low cost healthcare, low cost education programs, home ownership initiatives, low taxes. Shift the burden of caring for workers back to the employers. They should provide for their workers....not the taxpayer
What should we do? is that your question? Get the government out of our private lives, our jobs, our homes, our finances, our religion, our health, our education. Let the federal govt limit itself to its constitutional duties---defense of the nation, a court system, and interstate commerce.
Let everything else be set by the free market and the laws of supply and demand.
Let people succeed or fail by their own efforts.
Let voluntary charity and churches help those who cannot help themselves.
Return this country to real freedom.
No, what I assume will be the answer is that we must take control of more of the economy. We must force CEOs to work for some imagined number which would be decided upon by the government.
No, not less government more government which is in reality what has got us to this point in the first place. We just keep doing what hasn't worked in the past.
