Money and Politics

I've seen a trend since bank decentralization in 1980, Neuromancer in 1984, NAFTA and prescription medication television and meagazine advertisement ~1996, and megacorporations and mergers in the late 90's and early 2000's, and the ~entire Bush Presidency [and HMOs] moving money and services away from the middle class and citizenry and towards major corporations and wealthy individuals.

If Ron Paul is elected president, would he eliminate the IRS to put more money in the hands of the wealthy?

-It is possible to change tax rates so anyone making under ~$60,000 pays no tax at all. This alone would be a 15-28% pay raise for everyone on the bottom shelf of society. The majority of businessmen and big businesses pay no taxes whatsoever and do so for years and years because of write offs, incentives, and chicanery written into tax code. Tax accountants have been taught how to file through these loopholes. Eliminating them could make us fiscally sound again.

Would Ron Paul reduce services and state funding of healthcare and education systems?

-It is possible to reduce services while improving quality of living. Our public schools are not worth sending the average student to. Our colleges are freakishly overpriced, and our job markets mismanage our educational requirements. Public healthcare is treated like a business. We should change our education system to serve us and our children and workers, and change our healthcare system to serve the same. We must also make pharmaceutical companies move beyond the chemical additive level and into engineering the human.

What would Ron Paul do about the American military complex and the world's military condition?

-The world spent $1.05 trillion on the military in 2005, and America's finances account for about half of that. Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Truman fought or warned us about the military industrial complex. Nixon and Reagan embraced it, George Bush has revived it. It is time to put this monster to sleep. America must not profit from war, and must avoid it unless it is necessary like D-Day and VJ-Day were necessary. A media and corporate complex to go with and sell it are ways corporations shoehorn us into profitable and expensive wars that degrade us and the world.

It is important for people to become wiser about their money, civil vs play vs D/s society, and sustainability. I firmly believe that Ron Paul would fix our economy and dismantle the organizations that fiscally control us and the world.

Out of Business

Each industry and company should seek to put itself out of business. Not through poor business decisions, but good ones, such as eliminating their product or service from necessity by their market. This will cycle humanity quickly through technologies. For example, a dentist should strive to eliminate cavities and to perform as few dental procedures as possible. A soda company should seek to make their product non-addictive but pleasant and healthy, and eliminate as much extraneous nutrition functionality as possible from their foods/drinks. Casual snacking or drinking is not something that a soda industry should promote. In the same way advertising should be minimized or eliminated but for the service of listing the product as 'for sale' or 'available'.

This will improve mankind's quality of living and reduce the cost of living while tightening and tuning our economy to necessity.
