The fundamental rule of gamesmanship is that if you can’t win the game you’re playing, change the game! In this case, corporations are running the government, citizens have virtually no voice, and third party candidates are frozen out of the political process. That’s a process we can change, and one that we need to change.
Rebuttal to George T. Will’s Assertion that Minorities SHOULDN’T Be Represented
Summary: Some otherwise impressive thinkers like George T. Will acknowledge that the American political system doesn’t represent minorities, but conclude that it is somehow a good thing. In fact, he asserted that minorities shouldn’t be represented, and, for that reason, electoral votes shouldn’t be proportionally allocated. This article aims to refute that notion, along with his assertion that it would be a mistake for Colorado to allocate its electoral votes proportionally among the competing candidates.
We MUST Get the Money Out of Politics
By “get the money out of politics”, I mean “make money irrelevant to elections”. This article explains why it is so vitally necessary to do so.
Introduction
Most of the major domestic problems faced by America today either fundamentally stem from, or are held in place by, the impact of money in the political process. This information comes as no surprise to many. There may be argument over the details, but there is little question that money—especially corporate money—plays too large a role in the American political system.
Overview
The money that determines the outcome of elections is responsible for America’s symptoms — virtually every major problem that America faces today.
Constitutional Amendment for an “Equal Opportunity” Tax
Opponents call it a death tax. Proponents call it the billionaire’s tax. The official name is estate tax. But what it really is, is an equal opportunity tax.
Why We Need a New “Bernie Party”
Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are poster-children for a political idea whose time has come — democratic socialism. But it may not be possible for that idea to flourish in the DNC.
The Proper Role of Government
The left is often unfairly criticized as wanting too much government. Corporations, on the other hand, chafe under onerous regulations, while the right seems bent on tearing down government entirely. There is a happy medium, however. The goal of this article is to identify the proper role of government, to explain what it should be doing, and why.
What’s Wrong with Doctors? (and other practitioners)
At the same time, you may well ask: What’s wrong with “Alternative Medicine”?
The failure to look for deeper explanations is widespread among health practitioners—both mainstream and alternative. Fortunately, a younger breed of functional medicine practitioners are beginning to get it right.
Where Marx Went Wrong
A Call for SYMBIOSIS of Corporations and Government
Marx was a brilliant thinker who got a lot of things right. He clearly identified Capitalism’s major problem, but unfortunately he missed the solution. His big oversight led to a false dichotomy in theory, which in turn led to “dictatorial socialism” in reality (a bad thing), as opposed to “democratic socialism” (a very good thing, as I will argue).
