The three things that kill (metaphorically and literally) and how to solve it
The three things that kill us long before we are even born is the following:
1. Taxes: the most burdensome activity that all working people pay to their government and bankers
2. War: Death by Patriotism
3. Corporatism: The reason why the two above exist
I. Taxes: To solve this problem the ordinary hard working American and citizen of any country should stop paying their Federal Income Tax; force an audit on the Federal Reserve Bank, subpoena the Board of Governors, eradicate all private central banks, audit all merchant and investment banks, put all bankers and investors on trial; ensure all funding for each of these activities come from the local treasury of a small community of approximately 1000 people (hence, lots of senators and representatives). All bankers, investors, speculators (the risiculously rich one's who make millions or hundreds of thousands) would be tried before a jury of 300 citizens who have been chosen by their local consituency based on those 300 citizens knowledge of justice, economics, and truthfulness.
Another issue are "charities," "religious institutions" and "labor unions" - I suggest they all should be taxed, audited on a yearly basis (for free of charge by voluntary accountants and auditors who will be unbiased, honest, truthful, and transparent). Charities should be audited and taxed to keep them accountable to the public. Religious institutions would also be taxed because they are getting rich off of other people's hardworking earnings. All religions, no exceptions, would be taxed to death according to the people's wishes. Religion should NOT ask for money in the first place if they do not want to be taxed. There is a special case regarding the Catholic Church though: once they have been audited and taxed, and start to be held accountable, they must release all texts hidden in their vaults to the public domain. Nothing will remain hidden. In the case of government and military intelligence files: they must all be declassified and be immediately released to the public; no exceptions; no exemptions.
As to the question of what would happen if one person were to work twice as hard as another and earn twice the money. In that case, if the person had indeed worked hard, they keep their earnings and income. Just get audited - often. Also, getting yourself audited should be free of charge. Hey, we don't like wasting taxpayer money.
II. War: Before a war can be declared; 30 days before that all the richest people from government, banking, arms manufacturers, arms dealers, and CEOs will be asked to be the first to conscript. This is regardless of their AGE, SEX, RELIGIOUS AFFLIATION, or anything "irrelevant." If they are too rich for their own good, fuck it. They deserve it. If they want war, let them fight in the front lines - being paid the same as anyone else - trained in brutal bootcamps, and required to go through the same conditions as any ordinary soldier. If they refuse, they can be taken off to jail for "treason." Simple punishment for hypocrisy and outright "manipulation" of the public.
Next, during this time, there would be a plebiscite on whether or not war should be declared. Only those who are qualified to fight (except the above bankers, corporate financiers, and swindlers) will be allowed to vote. Of course the bankers and rich would want to go to war to make richers - therefore, they must not have any say in the PEOPLE's vote. If the people vote no, there is no war.
Finally, if war is declared - the rich suckers will be the first one's to be killed as they will be leading the charges. Also, during war time, no civil liberties will be compromised. During wartime, the property of the private central bankers, corporations, and rich fucks will be given to the public as public domain.
All of the above three steps will be explicitly stated and enforced by the will of the people.
III. Corporatism: This may sound like a "communist" or even an "anarchist" solution to the two above problems. Basically, the solution lies in the people forming communities of approximately 1000 each who elect one of their own as a representative to Capitol city for six months. Each person will get a turn at office and politics. Also, all corporations will be chartered for a temporary amount of time; their profits given off the public, and audited constantly by the people by volunteers. All corporate business operations will be regulated by workers - everyone will be paid the same, as in - anywhere ABOVE the poverty line (but by then, there would be no such thing as poverty and hunger in the world). Everyone will be paid the same, and everyone will sit on a council that decides how the company is to be run, and also be involved with the community (however you define community - your neighborhood for example).
The working class will not be taxed. The Middle class (if it still exists - maybe people who own assets in the 100 000 to 999 999 range) will be taxed only 0.5%. All banks, corporations, and institutions (think tanks, unions, businesses, religions) will be taxed to the bone for as long as they function. Bailouts and salvaging or rewarding corrupted or failed institutions of any kind would be illegal. Money therefore, would be in the public domain, and there would be no debt, no interest rates, no war, and no poverty. Call it a "classless" society...but class is a concept and a reality that will always exist to some degree or another.
With these three steps, the world can be a better place.
Disclaimer: I am neither a communist, an anarchist, a socialist, a hardcore capitalist, a neo-liberal, a neo-Con, or an Atheist. I do not endorse any one religion in particular, nor do I support any private corporation. I am an individual, and I, while a working class member and from a Middle class family loves his freedoms, and would like to fight for it. That is why he wrote the above.
P.S. Liberty - Freedom with Responsibility - on an individual level.

While my views aren't quite as radical as yours, I definitely think we should end corporate welfare, expose the connection between government and corporate power and increase representation to the point where legislators can't be as easily bought by corporate interests. Once we clean up the messes me made, I think our military intervention in the world should be drawn back. I disagree with the notion that any American citizen should be conscripted to fight, I think the volunteer military serves us well. I don't think should have the right to invade the privacy of individuals or institutions, but nor do I believe government money should ever be used to directly benefit individuals or institutions. I don't begrudge corporations for their success in the market, but I don't want them to be able to use the government to eliminate market competition either. The trick is not letting any group of people have unchecked power...especially those in the government.
@Stoltz13 - Of course conscription should not be allowed. Hence, conscript the rich fucks first. If they want war, let them be the first to get killed (hopefully).
That is my solution to the problem of conscription. As for market competition: once the monopolies of Corporate America has been eliminated, then people can themselves make their own businesses, and the monetary system should go back to a gold-based standard. A commodity-bsed money system is better and more effective than a fiat-backed money system of greed, usury, and debt, and economic slavery.
@L_O_R_D_X101 - I very nearly became a Marine, not because I had no other options nor because I am overtly Patriotic...but because I wanted to. Who is being conscripted? I do think the collusion of government and corporations is dangerous. I also think that the hidden taxation through devaluation of the currency by printing money needs to be addressed quickly before the entire country is bankrupted. Name a few corporate monopolies.
@Stoltz13 - Well, since America is at war in two fronts (Afghanistan and Iraq)...and are planning to attak Iran - a third front, along with being involved in the affairs of Latin America and Central Asia...more and more people would be joining the Armed Forces...and as Obama has declared...he thinks America needs a "natioanal security police force" to deal with, "terrorists."
So, essentially, American youths are being "conscripted" by the government in very subtle manner..as many people think that if they join the Armed Forces, they will be paid handsomely for it..but far from it...
Also, a few examples of corporate monopolies: the Mass media for example is owned by the Big Six - GE, News Corp, Disney, Viacom, and two other major transnational corporations. They also sit on each other's Board of Govenors, and control all means of communication..at least nearly 90% of all newsmedia and mediums are controlled by these guys. Also, think about who owns Wall Street - private bankers from Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Bank of America, and others who also happen to sit on each other's board of directors..
Finally, all these coporations are involved in the CFR, Trilateral Commission, and Bilderberg Groups...
So, how much more monopoly can you sustain?
If this weren't monopoly, I don't know what is...
Oh, the other two are CBS and TimeWarner...so much for "freedom of press..."
@L_O_R_D_X101 - I don't think we will go full scale against Iran...but I am completely against expanding federal power in the form of a national police force...we already have the FBI and ATF...isn't that bad enough?
What you are describing is oligopoly.
@Stoltz13 - I know, that is why in these times, a good defensive move to protect and defend and maintain our liberties must come at the price of the rich, the powerful, and the corrupted. Let them fight, and you and me can just sit back and enjoy the show...
@L_O_R_D_X101 - If the rich, the powerful, and the corrupt already own everything...why would they fight? I don't completely buy the military-industrial complex...iron triangles do exist...but I think it is much more complicated than all of that.
Everyone looks out for their own good and looks at government to give them an advantage over others...that is what we should fight at all levels.
@Stoltz13 - May be we should discuss this via email instead. It is getting too complicated. lordx101@gmail.com is my email. I
As for the military-industrial complex, of course they exist...and they would fight to keep their power at any and all costs: even if it means wars, depressions, and destroying their fellow humanity...
@L_O_R_D_X101 - They who?
It is getting complicated...I have other things I should be doing and I do agree with your core concerns. So...maybe some other time...
@Stoltz13 -
They = Global Elite = Rockefellers, Bushes, British Royalty, European Nobility, Obama, Clinton, Central Banks, IMF, World Bank, WTO, United Nations, Skull & Bones, Rothschilds, Lis, Merovingian bloodline, bloodless corporations, Political Correctness police, "man-made climate change" believers, and corporate criminals who own Wall Street and Imperial America.
@L_O_R_D_X101 - But there is competition between those parties...they are all trying to gain power as individual entities and only join forces when it works to their individual advantage. For example...the corporations who like Obama didn't like Bush...and vise versa. Collectively they may be holding the average American down...but I don't think it is a big conspiracy...it is just the natural "survival of the fittest" or "dog eat dog" world at work. The big question is...how do we change this natural order or keep the Fascist monster from growing like it naturally will? I think expanding representation, ending corporate wellfare and government regulations that give corporations an advantage is a first step...distributing government power back to the states and local governments a next step...but we need grassroots leaders to rise through the ranks for this to be possible. I wish a third party could win big races...but I have my doubts. Should I quit being an independent and run as a Republican for governor or state legislator?
@Stoltz13 - Let me enlighten you about the Two Party system...it is like any other false choice we are given on a daily basis...but the Two Parties do not really hate each other...because they all know it is a big show...a big scam on Americans. Whether or not one is a Democrat or a Republican, it makes no differences, because the two parties essentially run the show..and give the impression that there is a debate.
Take the case of Iran...Bush wanted to attack Iran, but he never got to that stage...at least as far as we can tell. With Obama and McCain...both sides essentially agreed that Iran is a"danger to American corporate security and freedom to bomb the world." It is a conspiracy that is hidden in plain sight...and with the war in Pakistan raging on...and with the increase in troop levels...all are done to continue the pace of the fascist New World Order...
Or, take the Patriot Acts...Obama said he was opposed to it, but then he repealed it and voted for the bill. He said he was not going to let Wall Street dominate Main Street...what did he do? He used bailouts and stimulus packages to save the corrupt bankers...and corporations like GM and Ford and Nissan from failure...
He said he was against torture and war, but then he expanded the war on terror on more fronts and is further antagonizing Russia with nuclear warheads on the seas and the expansion of NATO into Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
All of the above cases illustrate that the two party system is a sham...while one may appear to be opposing the other, they do not really hate each other. It is just one big club...and you and I are not a part of this Big Club. So, I suggest we sit back and enjoy the show as the system collapses. Obama is just another puppet, like Bush. In fact, they are 11th cousins. Creepy, eh?

@L_O_R_D_X101 - I would say that the biggest difference between the parties is how they want to distribute the power...that is why I am neither a Republican or a Democrat. I think Obama is a Marxist thru and thru...but I'm with you...both parties want more and more power...both need to be stopped. What I'm suggesting is that we infiltrate them...tow the party line till we get in office...and then do what's right.
Btw...blood relationship means nothing...I have cousins who are avowed communists...and others who are die hard Republicans.
@Stoltz13 - How the hell are we suppose to infiltrate the two parties? We might as well sell our souls to the devil if we are ever gonnna do that. Doing that comes with it so much risks...it is better to just make one's own political party...the "Third Party" that you have been talking aboutso avidly. I think a true opposition is better than a false impression of a "controlled opposition."
And as for your criticism of blood relationships meaning "nothing" - wait until you realize that Bush and Obama are related directly and indirectly through blood lineage all the way to English Royalty, European Nobility, and almost all the most popular people. Obama and Clinton are related through John McCain for example, and Bush and Kerry are related through Bush who is their shared cousin. Both Obama and Bush pay their respets to Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who is their distant cousin. Even Cheney is Obama's 8th cousin. Cheney and Bush are also 9th cousins.
These guys are serious about their blood purity and royalty. Bush is also related to all the last 43 presidents. This makes Obama's blood more royal than McCain who only shares a part of the Royal Blood Genetics.
After all, Royalty and Wealth tend to stick together...oh, and also with Freemasonry and Secret Societies like Skull & Bones, Opus Dei, Jesuits, and many others...even the Knights of Malta.
@L_O_R_D_X101 - What is our third party platform?
@Stoltz13 - Libertarianim and True Reform - RADICAL reform as I have suggested.
