I would be for socialism if the government could be trusted.
I would be for an absolute free market if corporations could be trusted.
Seeing both can't be trusted, and less so the more power they gain. I opt for a free market, up to 10 billion market cap per corporation(held up to that level for a period of 1 year), once you achieve such a market cap you must sell off some of the business and distribute it to share holders, and can't acquire any more companies. No individual can own more than 10 billion in cumulative investments related to stock, or property holdings. either. They can have material wealth exceeding that, but no investment in corporations beyond 10 billion. (problem with the wealthy is they have 99% of there wealth invested thus will always beat out the little guy in terms of gains). The federal government can not under any condition interfere in the free market except to enforce size limitations. Though they may place regulations on it equally applied environmental, safety, etc... None of this Bear Stearns/ J.P. Morgan crap though.
This is the best of solution as it keeps corps relatively small(in comparison to today), thus dilluting their influence among many different players, and with government small, there wouldn't be as much power to be bought and manipulated by corporation or government.
Easy as pie, Actually I think that'd be a better solution than those being floated about.
Isn't the problem Big Corporations afterall, and isn't the problem Big Government as well, I notice a trend here.
Only big government could have gotten away with the Iraq fiasco, no way that would have happened if it wasn't such a ponzi scheme financially. And isn't the reason Big Corps get away with what they do because they are so crucial to the economy, that no one wants to piss them off, and they buy Big Government, with way to much power for like ridiculously low prices.
Anyway, my view is Big outside the context of my massive shlong, is bad. An example of this not being the case would be welcome.
