Americans are so conformed to go a certain way--Don't you see this?! One might say that America has been confined to hold less liberty. Only together we the people can expand the liberty in this country.
There most certainly needs to be made a new bill or whatever that gives us Americans the voting power to be able to change the economic system. So inform your congressman or make some kind of petition
or do whatever it is to bring about a day when Americans can vote to be able to change the economic system!
It shouldnt have to be a poor class of people among in America at all! If you the people are so intelligent then use your brains and make it so it doesn't have to be a poor class of people in United States of America. At least create an opportunity for people to be able to change.
My brain storming:
Since I thought of an economic system election, such an election should be held on March 9th (my b-day
) and be held like maybe 9 years apart.
For such a forthcoming economic system election the unfolding plans of newer economic systems may be introduced for the people of America to decide on.
This kind of economic system election will revolutionize the intelligence of people of America. The civil revolution will be televized!
On the ballot you should see and be able to choose:
socialism
communism
capitalism
etc.
etc.
Plus, there should be commericals for them just like those campaign ads to inform the people. And there should be debates held even by some kind of persons or teams acting as the representative for the particular economic systems.
Sorry, but this is such an utterly naive suggestion that I don't know where to begin addressing it.
An essential element of the success of this country is the (relatively speaking) free market. There are simply no remotely comparable successes where controlled markets have been the rule. None, nada.
First of all you are asking for economic chaos if you propose a system in which every nine years the fundamental nature of our economy can change.
Compare our economy to that of Canada's. While Canadians don't specifically vote on what economic system they will adopt, their political choices are disparate enough that the effect is often the same. As a result they stagger along between intense central control to open markets.
Secondly, what you propose (thankfully) will never happen, and in the absolutely unlikely event that it does it almost certainly will destroy our economy and possibly our democracy and internal peace.
Do you think that enormously powerful corporations like WalMart or Microsoft are going to quietly abide by the will of the people in a vote on economic systems? Do you think that if the populace decides upon Communism that Bill Gates will happily turn over his multi-billion dollar company to The State? Of course he won't. The best possibility is that he and other CEOs will simply move their companies, lock stock and barrel to more sane locales. As a result, our economy would go in the toilet.
The worst possibility is that he and other powerful CEOs would use their money and its power to finance a coup.
There is no way that Capitalism in this country gets voted out by anything other than the absolute slimmest of margins. Therefore, if it did, we would have a nation more horrifically divided than in any time other than the 1860s when division based on slavery led to a civil war.
There is a reason no nation on earth has moved to communism through the democratic process.
