The Real Reason Capitalism In America Is Dying
Today we are hearing a lot about our capitalistic way of life is toast and the new wave is socialism. I like many of you read a lot and one thing that strikes me lies in the fact that not a single columnist or anyone in the media targets the real cause of our economic demise. Although I don’t have the credibility or exposure these guys/gals do I still want as many of you as possible to consider what I see is the real problem. Think about it and see if it is true or just another conspiracy theorist trying to make waves. I try hard to not lose your attention by condensing the wording in my articles so I hope this brief synopsis will suffice.
Capitalism died when we went from a manufacturing based economy to service and from there to consumer. (Debt) In 1955 the GDP was 78% based in manufacturing and today it is around 14%. There is only one way to grow a long sustained economy and that is with manufacturing. Building and/or making products and selling them have proven itself to be the best economic model the world has ever seen and that happened in the United States of America. Manufacturing is responsible for the creation of a strong middle-class, which I am sure you know are the ones that vote and care what happens to the country. They are at the least moderately educated and create the jobs Americans used to enjoy. Even Aristotle recognized and said it; a democracy cannot exist without a strong middle-class. Greece was the world's first democracy.
We have only ourselves to blame
As happened to every nation that has risen to great prominence, America took the blessings of God and became pleasure mad and from there came an almost total rejection of God, and thus we are where we are today. It is when we the people let our guard down and allowed such left-wing un-American government agencies such as the EPA or Environmental Protection Agency, left-wing organizations gain tax exempt status such all the tree hugging fruitcakes, Sierra Club, LaRaza and communist law usurpers such as the ACLU to take a prominent role in the administration of justice that we began our demise as an economic giant and I will add it was done by design by the one-world government people that run the international monetary policy through the various central banks in the 10 regions of the world. But the biggest cause of our demise is the Federal Reserve Bank owned and operated by private for profit entities. These people that run these institutions control every facet of monetary policy over the American citizen. They create inflation when they want it or depression, recession; they manipulate the currencies of the world by working with their counterparts in Europe and other regions of the world. In general, a handful of elites in the world control the monetary policy that affects every life. We became lame in our approach to keeping American society strong. I think and I believe you all will agree the following speaks the truth of our society. We have to return to accepting responsibility for ourselves and stop this liberal blame the other guy game.
Examine yourselves and see if this applies
Major innovators of what we are experiencing now are New Deal, Great Society and a continuum of further anti-capitalistic socialist policies.
In a study done by Dixie Lee Ray, he noted that throughout the history of great democratic nations, they endured about 200 years before their fall from power and subsequent disintegration. In every case there appears to be a clear-cut sequence of stages:
From bondage to spiritual faith.
From faith to great courage.
From courage to liberty.
From liberty to abundance.
From abundance to complacency.
From complacency to selfishness.
From selfishness to apathy.
From apathy to dependency.
And from dependency back again into bondage.
Do you see the United States somewhere in this sequence? Has our great country been so compromised and corrupted that we’re now willing to march in lock step to our doom in the footsteps of other fallen nations? A British historian Alexander Tyler once said, “ A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government; they will only exist until the people find that they can vote money for themselves from the treasury and until the politicians find that they can distribute that money in order to buy votes and perpetuate themselves in power. Hence, democracies always collapse over weak fiscal policy to be followed by a dictatorship.
The corruption in the market place today is due largely to the fact investors and that includes from top to bottom do not have a sustainable long time source to invest in, hence a quick profit buy and sell stock market, which has left the small investor that was forced into 401K's holding the bag. In other words through manipulation of stocks many times purchased at preferred stock prices and sold at common the little guy's weekly influx of capital into the market created the scenario we often here today, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The stock market must be based solely on manufacturing as it was in the beginning to grow companies and employment opportunities. Once manufacturing is restored, sensible environmental policies must be brought about to protect the citizenry. Oversight of all federal agencies created by the elected must be strong and not allowing these federal agencies to write unchecked regulations without the approval of those that are charged with the responsibility for these agencies of the federal government. An example of what I am talking about is for every law congress passes these federal agencies create 18 regulations all with the force of law. We even have some of the agencies suing the federal government and if this isn’t run amuck federalism what is?
The Only Solution
As a nation if we are to have any hope of returning the great world power that God made us we will all have to repent of our evil and turn back to God. I hope most of you realize we are at a point in America where we are well past looking to man for solutions. It is man that has gotten us to where we are today. After that is done it will require that only God-fearing citizens that have experienced being in the trenches apply. We certainly do not need lawyers ever again to run the affairs of government. Certainly, they will be useful in a lot of different situations but not as the heads of government. It only requires good sound common sense and using the God inspired document (constitution) that has brought us the success we have enjoyed all these years. In other words, a return to our roots.
