Capitalism failing?????

The top ten percent of americans make up 50 percent of the united states income. Giving America a future which could lead to a country like well Mexico. Amercia right now looks like the old medevil days were you have the peasants and the rich kings and queens. In fact that’s how insurance compianies identify you as "peasants". Also corporations have become increasingly powerful causing small business to be literally obsolete. So what to do about this other than the evil "socialism" I don’t know choose one,

* Democracy (The Rule of the many)

There can only be so much of value in an economy, regardless of whether it is a socialist or a capitalist economy. In America, you have filthy rich people with billions of dollars to their name. If there’s only so much to go around, where does that leave the rest of us? A socialist economy gives everyone the same amount. It is wrong for a person to be able to make money without working. This essentially takes money from some and gives it to others. There is a continual input of goods into the system, which is why capitalism has worked for a while, but inflation and other factors, in addition to capitalism’s own flaws are the reason the economy is tanking at the moment. The reason socialist states are frowned upon is that they are associated with communist states. Socialism is an economic system, not a system of government. In fact, true socialism requires a democratic government. The reason socialist economies have failed is due to the fact that citizens were required to work. Imagine a socialist economy where all citizens work to their full potential. Essentially, the best government is a government that guarantees that the people in charge will follow the same rule book all the time. A pure democracy requires that each citizen have full say in all decisions. There are no elected officials in pure democracy. A pure republic is essentially a monarchy with multiple monarchs. America establishes that ‘rule book’ through the Constitution. Another requirement of a successful government is that the people in charge have nothing to gain. Give all government officials the same salary as average joes. Why should there be a monetary incentive to be President? What ever happened to Civil SERVICE? Also, a federal government merely begs for trouble, if there’s also a state government. A federal government should provide for things that impact things outside country, such as the army and diplomacy. Finally, there is nothing wrong with the government having control over the economy. Perhaps that would give it some stability. The government doesn’t need to control the wealth, it merely needs to control the labor. Finally, the citizens must have the personal desire to work. This unity may be due to religion, nationalism, or any other such factor. Socialism has to be voluntary. Socialism doesn’t take away any rights of the people; it merely preserves the long-term economy. SO, the best government/economy combination is a Constitutional Non-Federal Theocratic Republic with a Voluntary Semi-Socialistic economy.

    Parliamentary republic by experience is better but remember freedom of corporations to fund politicians is a disaster as now found in USA.corrupt capitalism as found in USA leads to disaster.Corruption in communism should lead to disaster as well.Excess powers of presidents found in USA leads likely as now to disaster.Excess control of capital or influence by a tiny ethnic minority as found in USA leads to disaster.No small religious group should have extreme powers as in USA.USA had great constitution but now largely disregarded.Media must be protected from small groups bent on self control as in USA.

    Every economy fails but it adapts ex. history of europe
    First was Tribalistic economies that failed around 590 BC with the rise of greece and the spread of Phoeician influence.
    Then rose the Democracy of Rome Parliamentary republic which failed around 29 – 1 BC then that failed.
    Then rose the Empire of rome around 1 AD which was a Dictatorship in turn failed around 459 AD
    Then rose Tribalistic economies for about 100 years then fell to Monarchs and Duchy’s and kingdoms.
    and those in turn failed then rose the Capitalistic economy which lasted for 40 years then fell in 1945 and then rose the Communistic Bloc economy till about 1989
    then the return of capitalism till now and inturn which seems to be tested.
    Soo in the conclusion every economy will fail but it will adapt to a new one in which the people or government decides…

    Capitalism has not failed.

    Instead, people failed to understand Capitalism, and therefore failed to defend it when the Progressive Movement began in America during the the 1930’s.

    (BTW, Progressivism is nothing more than the American variant of Fascism. And Fascism, according to KARL MARX, is the transition from Capitalism to Communism.)

    We need more than YouTube to understand these things….
