| I insist that wealth control - nobody should ever be permitted to own more than twenty times the assets they need to survive - is the only workable answer. Business consortiums should also have a minimum of ten competitors. If the number falls below that, the government should start up new ones. So-called "intellectual property" should be abolished, and people who create new things should be granted awards by random juries, so people can do business freely and make what is needed.
I demand that the government should simply start building small, ultra-energy efficient towns. And those towns should be equipped with industries that they own and may not ever sell or mortgage or lease, etc. Then they should have a lottery for people who don't own houses, and thereby just give newly-built small, ultra-energy efficient houses away. The outlay would be recouped by taxing the industries. The first industries would presumably be construction companies. The home owners must never be allowed to sell or mortgage, but they could swap houses if the wanted to move.
If others want to cling to the same old two/three-party, fat-cat loving, living-in- competition, "American Dream" - then go right ahead. Maybe Obama or the "BorderJumpers" will save you when your unemployment runs out, there's nothing in the fridge, and your house gets foreclosed. |
