Socialism as a Primitive Coping Mechanism
Posted by CarolSeer2014 10 years, 8 months ago to Government
Socialism is the most materialistic, instantaneously gratifying politico-economic system in history. Capitalism is an economic and moral advance, because it not only celebrates individual choice, in free markets, but it works to ensure future growth in that it is the accumulation of capital for investment purposes. Any monies gov't takes from business for tax purposes is money not usable for investment in future growth and jobs. You wonder what has happened to our economy?
Government has been taking from the producers and giving to those who don't. No society can last for long with that idiotology. Even China is rethinking economics.

There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important.
1) Healthcare - Control healthcare and you control the people
2) Poverty - Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt - Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control - Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare - Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income)
6) Education - Take control of what people read and listen to - take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion - Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools
8) Class Warfare - Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
Don't tarnish the message by spreading paranoid nonsense.
From an article in SkyNews Sep '13: But while the scale of the bond-buying since the financial crisis has boosted recovery by driving interest rates to record lows, it has left financial markets addicted to the low-cost credit and investors worried about the effect of turning off the taps.
The money also helped push banks and other investors towards risky investments in emerging markets, where the prospect of tapering had resulted in huge withdrawals from currencies and stocks.
Some time after the ending of QE, the fed will stop forcing rates down to zero. The market will start to go down more than it has in years, before that happens.
I don't short the market and I don't violate individual rights. That's just the kind of person I am.
The Fed plans to end QE in October. If you really think the market is going to go down after that event, wouldn't you short it? Or are you not confident that it will actually go down?
The music has not stopped yet and the limited number of chairs simply remain in close sight. Most players are ready to jump just before it does. Not everyone will get a seat.
Financial repression can make it seems that way for the short term, yet history shows that a little before the fed stops forcing rates down things begin to go wrong, get worse and...
The economy is doing great, save for a few bumps in the road. People are eating less junk food and purchasing more goods online, rather than in stores. Unemployment is improving, and the fed is unwinding QE. I'm not happy with fixed asset yields being so low, so hunting for yield is still a challenge.
What do you think about the companies doing tax inversions? And what do you think is wrong with the economy?
