What you need to know about Cain's 9/9/9 plan

This video needs to go viral, his plan actually includes 9/9/9/9 plus some common sense on OWS

What I don't need to know. It would never pass first of all, and 2nd of all he has no chance of winning haha

999 plan is ridcolous, then when it doesnt follow through the trillion is lost.

I agree with that dude on OWS what people call capitalism or its failure has been caused by interference in the free market lack of competition where wealth rises and falls and gets transferred and they are protesting the wrong place.

All I know about 9/9/9 is SimCity did it first for the base tax rate.

Hmmm maybe he's and old school gamer?

Neo, you don't know how capitalism works. Sorry if that statement - once again - hurts your feelings, but it's pretty obvious.

Capitalism is nothing more than a system where business is run for profit. Sounds innocuous enough, sure. Thing is, that's all it is - a system for producing profit. Free markets and competition reduce profit. If I run a lemonade stand and across the road someone else runs a lemonade stand, too, then we have a few options. One, we can engage in a price war, which results in loss of profits for both of us. Two, we can collude and form a trust, thereby securing profits, but preventing a free market, or three, one of us can use any means necessary to remove the competition - obviously working with lemonade as an example, one can't really get the full scope of that option, but on larger scales , it works to create monopoly, thus ending competition.That is, the only way for ME to secure MY profits, is to either close hte market, or end the competition.

What's been happening is that government interference in the markets has been reducing for the last thirty years. The markets are almost wholly unrestrained and unregulated now. As a result, collusion and merges are sweeping the financial world, since there's nothing to stop them in their quest for every cent of profit. The cost to the public - political, environmental, and economical - is steadily rising, while quality of product is steadily declining - got to cut those corners to save costs and secure maximum profit, you know.

What's more, a capitalist system also concentrates wealth; Lots and lots and lots of people at the bottom are giving their money to significantly fewer people above them, who pass it on to even fewer above THEM, and o on to the very pinnacle. And of course, the fewer people involved, the less wealth actually changes hands, so it collects at the top and never comes back down. I guess you might say that in this respect, capitalism is a system whereby the rich mine money from the pockets of the not-rich. This is compounded by hte fact that increased wealth makes it easier to increase wealth.

So with unfettered capitalism, you end up with, essentially, feudalism. A lord with wealth beyond all needs constantly pumping more wealth from the work of the hundreds of serfs, with no regard for them beyond their ability to produce enough to turn a coin.

Eventually those at the bottom are no longer able to sustain those at the top . remember what I said about how wealth increases wealth? Well, there's a limit there, since wealth is not infinite (if it were, what'd be the point?) it's at this point where you hit a recession, a contraction, or, in the case of the Baron and the Serfs, a torch-and-pitchfork mob (thanks to the wonders of butane and machining, we can now construct torchforks.) basically the serfs can no longer afford to throw their wealth and labor into this system at the scale the wealth-holders have set.

There's really no way to cure this beyond letting the whole thing fall flat on its face and start over.

However, there are preventative measures. You call them "interference," but what it reeally is, is government insuring that business practices remain fair to business and customers alike, and instituting a system to keep wealth changing hands and preventing stagnation.

The term "free" is in there, implying freedom...which makes it preferable over every other system. Socialism is just collectivism which is just communism and we don't want that.

Now stop clouding our ideals with reality.

Cain is The Federal Reserve's golden boy and last ditch effort to retain control. He loses the Fed gets nationalized.

Sorry, I met to edit the original post but added one instead.

Here is what I meant to add. mainly the author's name.



www.marketwatch.com...
The someone who came up with the ideas I believe is the author of the article or Brett Arends.


Posted on the wrong thread too. sorry.

Ah yes. Sort of like how "family values" centers around teaching your kids to hate via abusing them, and how "right to work" actually means "right to be fired at any moment for any reason."

Love those slogans. They're all... warm and fuzzy. Like a tarantula.
