9. capping wealth
Edited on Mon Jun-26-06 04:20 PM by undergroundpanther
Yes it's about time too..Our government has been bought from us..One way to avoid scrabbling hands,is you can cap wealth by progressive not regressive taxation,as in the more money you make the more you MUST give BACK to the little people that made you rich.. If the wealthy whining at you, give you that old saw they "earned it" themselves,remind them HOW MANY people work for them,no ceo does ALL the labor himself and is entitled to not share. A ceo outsources the WORK to other willing to be paid less for their labor people who have NOT..because for one to have another must be deprived,deprived people are desperate and will sell themselves cheap to survive,This is why rich people OPPOSE Progressive Taxation.. So,the less a company pays to it's employees to live on the more goes in an executive's pocket,and this makes this system prone to almost sociopathic accounting and desperate people willing to sell themselves cheap and cheaper to"compete"for scraps waiting for a ship that will NEVER come in.Never come in if the wealthy can do anything about it..

An owner who despite looking so busy really does not do all that much work,labor wise because he has 'help' for all that..and he basically is a busy looking parasite living off the labor of others,people who have not, desperate enough to sell themselves on the cheap because this whole system is founded on a BIG FUCKING LIE.. which is Summed up very nicely by Rousseau...

The first man having enclosed a piece of ground saying..
"this is mine"
and found people simple enough to believe him was the real founder of society.
From how many crimes,murders,wastes might anyone have saved now by pulling up the stakes and crying to his fellows....

"Beware of listening to this impostor!!"

You are undone if once you forget that the fruits of the Earth belong to us all and of the Earth to nobody.

To protect private property men accepted laws and governments.They had too many disputes among themselves
to do without arbiters and avarice to go long without masters.All ran headlong into their chains in hopes of securing their liberty.

Discourse on the origins of inequality of mankind ~Rousseau..


Slavery was the legal fiction that a person was property.
Corporations are the legal fiction that property is a person.
And in order to be deemed sane under fascism,
you must believe both fictions simultaneously.

ARBEIT MACHT FREI - WORK MAKES ONE FREE - entrance to Nazi concentration camp at Theresienstadt, Germany .
