Opinion of Distributism

[Person Man]

I'm guessing this is what Thomas Jefferson had in mind with his vision of an America by and for the "Yeoman Farmer". It's a great vision. The only real vision where both the welfare and general morality of society can properly be encouraged.

Its pretty simple why this isn't being done-

Without having Donald Trump, Paris Hilton or Barack Obama or some other alleged socialist or glorious fat ass  to control the purse, how will anyone raise the proper investing money for  anything to get done?

However, it is totally meaningless that we get to hear in the paper and TV about some girl buying a $100,000 fur coat or boob job or being proposed to with a $1,000,000 ring ...or some guy in a wig buying a $200,000,000 apartment or $20,000,000 ticket into outer space.

Why should we care? Why should society care? Why do we send so many kids out to die for their rights to do so? How does anyone else in the world benefit from that? Sure, you can say that those types of people write our paychecks, but many of us get our paychecks from selling $3 coffees and $1 burgers to eachother...maybe $10 pairs of pants...and here's the big lesson learned from the failure of Reaganomics-

Just because you encourage business doesn't mean that anyone will be encouraged to do business with you. Boss running out of money and wants to fire you to save what little he has left? The gipper has told us to either give him free money or let him keep more money of his own so that he will be able to afford to pay you. What does your boss do? He keeps the money and still fires you.

Then again, why should other people be forced to take care of other people who aren't able or given the chance to take care of themselves?  

Basically, what I am getting at is that the goals of creating wealth or "spreading" wealth are pretty pointless means in themselves.

What we need is a way for which wealth can be allowed to be generated and for a way for people to be given a reason to care about the above things. Distributionism seems to say "wealth is pointless unless there is broad access to it or real reason for us to care about it".  Although, like social credit, distributionism seems to be a conduit of social conservatism instead of economic populism.... i.e. more interested in protecting traditional ways of life instead of helping people live their own lives.

Then again, it might be time to give up on trying to regulate through a complicated tax code and just go back to old-fashioned regulation....and while we're at it, we must understand that private and public are seperate and its not the job for the Government to be Business's friend and not the job of Business to do what the Government should do. Let the Government do it's job and let Business do it's job.  So, that basically means that there shouldn't be anymore of this "privatization" crap or any of this  "public-private cooperation" crap.

...or it is easy enough to say  "how the hell do you raise a billion dollars to build a new car factory when no one can come up with any more than a few million dollars?"

...but still, that doesn't mean we have to suffer through monopolies and bloated bureaucracies that make you have pay 200 bucks for an iphone that costs a dollar to make when you are only give 16 bucks an hour to live off of when people who make 16 bucks a second pay less in taxes.
