Capitalism On Steroids

A bunch are calling for unrestricted capitalism. Some on the other side have an over abundance of socialist ideas. Here's the way I see it. Why can't we have something in between these two extremes. For instance, here's a few ideas... * No CEO or owner at the top being allowed to make more then 100x's their lowest paid employee. For example. The lowest paid receives $30,000 a year. The CEO then would be limited to earn $3,000,000. Perhaps upper level supervision 10x's ($300,000) The immediate supervisors 2x's ($60,000). This would mean if a CEO or owner would want to increase their earnings by whatever amount would have to increase the lowest wages by a proportionate amount. This doesn't mean every employee is limited to $30k. Each can still receive larger salaries for their work responsibilities. It only means no one can receive less then 100th that of it's owner or CEO. I call this fair equitable distribution. No single person (including it's owner/CEO) should be worth more then 100x's then those who also contribute to a company's success.

* I'd also except an alternative in the form of company ownership. Say the company doesn't want to commit it's cash earnings which may not remain steady in the future. Instead decides to issue shares, For example the big boy at the top wants to give themself a 1000 shares so they'll only be taxed on capital gains In this case each lowest paid employee would receive 10 shares each. Perhaps using this as a alternative form of a retirement from the company w/o having to be locked in to the ever increasing employee salaries.

* Another way of helping companies is to eliminate the burden of healthcare costs. I look at this way. I hired a worker to do what needs to be done-- not take care of him/her whole family's medical issues. It's bad enough I have to hire another person to pick up the slack when one of my employees is out sick. It's unfair then I too am burdened with their healthcare costs on top of it. The way I could get workers demands and that of their union's stoppages off my back is not to be saddled with the burden of healthcare in the first place. This is where the government comes in to play a part.

Detractors are always misleading us when it comes to the cost for national healthcare for everyone. For the sake of brevity I will only bring one thing never mentioned. Both companies and individuals deduct billions of dollars every year from their income taxes for medical costs. If we all had medical coverage these deductions would no longer exist. Right there is a ton of money which would go towards government supported plans. Well maybe I should bring up one more talking point. The government can be a hellva lot more powerful negotiating/legislating prices then insurances companies. Competing insurance companies have a greater incentive to simply raise prices rather then litigate till the cows come home. I could go on but I'm sure many readers didn't bother reading this far. Suffice it to say it's come to the point of ridiculous between the rich, poor and what remains of the middle class. We can either standby and watch the few accumulate ALL the marbles or somewhat level the playing field. My point of view is no human is so valuable they deserve 100,000's the worth then those who labor under them. There's no justification this. It's flat out capitalism allowed to run amuck.

Who Is Gonna Fix This?
Don't think for a second it'll come from a change of heart by those at the top of the food chain. They'll keep feeding guilt on those below them on which to feast that somehow they are being envious, greedy, unpatriotic or even socialists for questioning why they deserve part of what these fat cats feel entitled to. I'm not encouraging rebellion nor anger. All I'm simply asking is people get out and vote for people like Bernie Sanders and others this November. Candidates who see through this facade and will make the changes necessary before we all end up living in tents working 60 hours a week. (That's not an exaggeration for many).

George Carlin Explains Political Language

Here are valuable tips for the unseasoned candidates on addressing almost every situation they'll encounter if they manage getting elected,

George Carlin- National Press Club (May 13, 1999)

The man ought to be posthumously elected to congress.
He'd probably accomplish as much as those already seated.

The Oval Office How It Really Works In My Opinion

It must be a pain in the butt for lifers every time they get a new boss. I imagine it's the same with the permanent staffers in Washington and at the White House. Think of it this way in terms of the place where you work. To some degree you try to appease but most of the things you do stay pretty much the same. The things you've tried over and again which failed you aren't likely to repeat despite advice from the new greenhorn in the front office. Just appease them and hope they'll be distracted moving on to something else. Who hasn't dealt with new management in this way?

Countless new hot shots are appointed by every president who have no idea what's going on. Most rely on those below their charge who been around the block for years. What new appointees say and do in public may have little to do with the actual workings within the government department they were selected to lead. I can guarantee you our plant manager had little idea what was going on other then what our supervisors wanted them to know unless they were willing to check things out for themselves with us. Some of our previous bosses were interested in what we had to say listening to some of the past things we tried and managed accordingly. Others acted liked fools. Think government is any different?

This is why I sincerely hope 90% of what we hear coming out of Washington, Trump's mouth and other world leaders have little to do with what is really going on. Tons of people working in the background with other nations have been canoodling with each other for decades. They've reached an untold number of understandings where things stand. Think of it this way. These BS politicians at the top come and go in every country. The bedrock of everything that keeps things running smooth are the grunts doing what is best behind the scenes between their countries and ours by knowing what's really going on.

Shhh-- don't tell Trump
Trade Commission Nullifies Trump’s Newspaper Tariff

Let him continue to BS and say whatever he wants. It makes him happy (not). Meanwhile let us hope the real deals are being cut by those adults who have greater knowledge and expertise in such matters unseen.

Let me put this yet one other way
No person, company nor country could became successful w/o those countless people whose efforts helped make them that way. It doesn't matter who ends up getting the credit. It always takes those who efforts are seldom recognized. To them go my appreciation and so should all of ours.

John McCain's Legacy In His Own Words

Nearly Everybody Is FOS

Religions are FOS
Politicians are FOS
Businesses are FOS
Product promises are FOS
Most so called non-partisan judges are FOS
etc, etc, etc.

WORDS OF WISDOM When people begin to realize 99% of what they experience in this world is FOS they will come to realize only a tiny fraction is based in truth. Nearly every living thing has an agenda of it's own. This is what creates the conflict between all living things.

The trick is to observe without allowing ourselves to be affected by their influences. To stay uninvolved. We've been incorrectly taught to become engaged in whatever cause. This only leads to conflict. There can be no conflict if there is no engagement. Apathy (indifference) never generates conflict. Somehow we've been falsely led to believe this was a negative. Truth is any amplification for either cause leads to greater turmoil because of increased differences.

If we can get through this life unaffected the better our chances are we will leave it as we arrived when we were born.
