Shouldn’t we somehow all be “owners” in our society? Create a minimum bottom to our society that we create for one another?
The work and effort of everyone of us collectively is the “the wealth” of the nation. It should be shared by all of us.
The “owners” some that inherit and do no work – get a free ride. Those that are not born into the lucky owner club - are taken advantage of for life. What an interesting system if you stop and think about it.
Those in our society that do the most back breaking work, are trickled down to nothing. Those at the top, bent the political rules and turn on the vacuum. They rob from the poor and the wealth of the nation – to support the owners at the top!
We all benefit in the work of others. Hording the “wealth” of the nation by creating systems that centralize it into the hands of the elite – is immoral. It is unethical. It is unfair. It is today’s capitalism.
But, the rules can always be changed.
What if society became the ownership class? What if we all collectively benefited by the work of the whole? What if there was a democratic form of capitalism that benefited the middle class instead of the top 1%?
Once we define the goal of paying society first finding a better system then the owners take all capitalist system we operate under is possible. Shift the national resources back into everyone's hands and we can all benefit - not just the few at the top. Life could be easier for everyone.
The trickle down economic policies created by the wealthy elite have failed to trickle. Instead, they work like a vacuum cleaner – emptying the pockets of the working class, now the middle class, and now our national resources.
When the great capitalist system collapses – then we will have the opportunity to build a new system. That day might be coming.
We need a more equitable financial system, and we can design one. The current capitalist system needs to be redesigned – into a populist capital system. A democratic system, one where the resources of the nation are owned by the people and they pay a societal dividend. A societal capitalist system.
A system where the national resources are put back into the hands of the nation, not selected corporate interests. One where society instead of individuals become the ownership class. We could create an economic system where instead of the hands of few - collectively all of us in society could own the national fortune. We could create a “society first” form of capitalism. One that creates a minimum floor for everyone and the national resources are not owned by private corporate and elite hands - but instead are shifted back into the public domain and the nation profits and prospers.
A new paradigm – something better – something that works for everyone. We need an economic system that allows more people to share in the economic prosperity, the “wealth” of the Nation. One that truly “lifts all boats” by creating a level of security for all of us, “pay society first!”
