What would you write?
I have to write a paper for "econ 101" and back-up this Bernie Sanders speech from 2010. Problem is, I disagree with the premise. The Gubernmint is not good with money, ergo they should not be taking the money from responsible parties and giving it to irresponsible parties.....
No facts to back him up. Do you have to write from that perspective?
No, we obviously have income inequality. The government relies on that and can do nothing about it. I wrote the paper and painted the bigger picture, there is an incredible amount of mobility between the classes here in the US and the "billionaires" are either good for the economy or involved in the government. Bernie made over one million in 2017, guess he wants to rob himself?!
Title of the paper; How did the Socialists light their homes before they used candles?
I'm not a Bernie-crat... I'm totally anti-government, anti-socialism, etc. HOWEVER, Bernie has some very valid points in this speech and since that speech it has just gotten 100x worse. I suggest looking up the invention of the game of monopoly. It was originally created by someone to highlight the faults with the capitalist "free market" systems. It always ends with a few owning everything and all the others going broke. The difference with the game of monopoly is that you end the game and start over on fair terms once in awhile. But in this current system, the just keep going and going and never reset the playing field. Those who create the currency and the loans/debt are just enriching themselves over and over and over. We need some sort of economic/financial/wealth reset to even the playing field. I like cryptos for this. Allow everyone to make their own currencies and distribute them evenly for all to use. Reset this game otherwise all we have is a Monopoly that is way past it's end-game and should have ended long ago.
Damn, I just burned bandwidth dropping 99% on an expired comment! I am a police officer who works for a private agency. I believe if everyone was able to govern themselves, we would not need a centralized government of any kind. Most think I am "anti-government" after a short convo, but I am actually heavily involved at the local level. If Government could do its job, it would put itself out of of business. Power would be returned from globalists to nations, from nations to states, from states to communities, and eventually back into the hands of the people. If enough of us like-minded folks can work together, we can do this. If we do not do it sooner, than later history tells me we will do it peaceably NOW history says we will shed blood. I am not sure why I did not think to look into the history of monopoly as a game or even a concept (keep your friends close to heart, and......) Thanx!
