Utopian States: Loves happy people

1.) Free trade cost America jobs.

2.) The old methods of lowering interest rates and taxes were tried to stimulate the production of jobs by giving Americans more money to buy more.

3.) The old methods didn’t work well because Americans weren’t producing anything but houses, health care, excessive government, prison space, the military, mortgage securities and legal defenses against inflated charges by the police.

4.) Those things were stimulated. Chinese production was also stimulated. America built more homes. America outsourced mortgage securities.

5.) America needed more people buying homes so we started giving mortgages to people without verifying their incomes.

6.) America increased the interest rates to burst the bubble on housing prices. With outsourcing and free trade, that bubble was all that was keeping America going.

7.) Housing values dropped. People without sufficient incomes to pay mortgages lost their homes. Dropping housing values decreased jobs.

8.) Suddenly there weren’t sufficient jobs for even the verified incomes. More people lost their jobs. More people lost their homes.

9.) Housing prices dropped further. Mortgages became higher than the value of homes. People lost their life savings.

10.) It started with unlimited and unrestricted free trade and outsourcing.

11.) The predictions of H Ross Perot and Karl Marx have been fulfilled.

12.) Once the dominos started falling, there is no sane choice left but to stop the chain reaction.

13.) Failed companies must be resurrected.

14.) Unlimited Free trade and outsourcing must immediately be arrested by either tariffs or a sales tax on both foreign and domestic products accompanied by a reduction in corporate taxes on American manufacturing and a lessening of the incentives to outsource.

The only right of government should be to protect our rights. Americans should have the right to earn an income sufficient to pay for food, shelter, health care, transportation and clothing (although clothing is unnecessary except for the fat and the old). We should not be taxed on the income required for these basics – those earning more than 100K a year can easily pay all taxes.

Another issue. The current economic plight got started with freetrade; a collection of myths centering on beliefs that America is a perpetual motion machine, that America doesn’t need to produce anything, that lawyers can manage production, that lawyers produce.

Hell, I think I’ll go to Walmart and buy a bunch of old legal papers!

Maybe we should have the Supreme court decide that men can walk around in underwear with their pants around their ankles; that gays can marry; that police brutality should be protected; that we should punish people that burn the flag and bury old flags; that elections shouldn’t be decided by counting votes.

Ever seen a spectrum made from visible light?

Some colors have a lot of power, some have none.

Same with the intelligence of people and government.

There is a lot of knowledge in some areas and none in others.

Americans have NO knowledge of the potential of other ways of organizing government. Why should they? It hasn’t been taught. There aren’t even books on the subject.

For example, I have been pushing a lottocracy for ten years. Still don’t hear many other talking about it. Plato talked more about it 2600 years ago. Did you know that? It’s very basic.

Humanity first.

America can be improved as much as the Model T, as much as the Wright brother’s first plane, as much as Radio Shack’s model I computer, as much as early medical procedures, as much as early chemistry, and as much as early astronomy.

What prevents it?

People that are pessimistic and afraid..
People with no imagination.
People that have been betrayed by greedy and stupid politicians.
People taught propaganda and perverted history rather than possibilities.
People subjugated by a cult of lawyers.

Do you see?

I can respect the “Country First” slogan from John McCain.

1) The slogan has to do with his feelings and is not advice for government (hopefully).
2) That slogan had genesis in his Hanoi POW cell.
3) That slogan is to implicate that Obama does not place country first but that Obama places Obama first.

Nevertheless, I think slogans like that compromise the lowest level of thinking. Feeble brains use them as principles.

This site is in favor of the use of lottocracies of the able to select our representatives and candidates.

Rights First has always been the motto of this site. We only have a nation worth protecting if that nation puts the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness first. Those are natural rights as are the right to eat, drink, breath, own property, reproduce and speak freely. The nation that puts individial rights first is the only nation that is worth protecting.

The only right of a nation is to protect our individual and natural rights. That is the promise of America.

You can build a country by making a list of human rights and then writing a constitution that protects those rights. Writing a constitution that puts the rights of government first is a recipe for tyranny.

I approve of Sarah Palin even as I don’t approve of the Republican party (Country first is backward, what about humanity first?)

Palin is an all American family with all American problems. The members of her family have experienced America’s typical ups and downs. She brings a firsthand knowledge of America’s typical problems into the new administration.

Palin has not been corrupted by party politics, not been influenced by special interest groups, not been bribed by lobbyists, not been bought by campaign financiers and not been perverted by the national media.

Palin is the type of person a lottocracy would produce. I, of course, approve of lottocracies. I especially approve of lottocracies that select from a pool of the college educated and use a voting process for subsequent terms.
