Humans originally led a nomadic life as hunters and gatherers. Civilized growth flourished when reasoning minds realized that accumulations of fruitful work could be shared if workers could be assured of receiving benefits for their labor. This assurance became the cornerstone for an advancing civilization. Our constitution is based on this same premise and provided a unique opportunity for sustaining economic growth.
The work incentive in our free society emanates from what I have described as the America dream and, most importantly, from an innate natural human quality for self preservation that achieves extraordinarily in an atmosphere of human freedom. Consider that savings can only result from work. Without savings being injected into an economy, the economy cannot grow. Without growth there can only be economic contraction through consumption. It’s what people want and need to sustain life (i.e. life essentials) that determines where savings are directed in a free market economy. A disciplined monetary system where money values are determined in an exchange environment dependent upon productivity (work values) is prerequisite for keeping the economic focus on essentials of life.
Our American monetary and economic systems are uniquely designed to accommodate the advance of human civilization. Our government and the fat cats in our society are on the path to control of the money supply which will result in destruction of the system that is facilitating the advancement of civilization itself. A reading of my article “Destroying of the Dream” is informative in this regard.
Fat cats and our government itself are on course to degrading our standard of life, the highest ever achieved. Take away the American dream and the survival incentive of the human spirit and you are succumbing to autocratic control of the many (people) by the few (politicians or fat cats). Politicians and fat cats are adept at hiding truths and vying for monetary power control. Civilization (people) is the huge loser.
Societal structure will regress 233 years if civilization acquiesces to the dismantling of the American dream and stripped of the hope of the hunters and gatherers. Can you envision how the Pharaohs convinced the people to direct their work to the building of pyramids (the desires of the few) instead of sustenance of life necessities (the needs of the many)? Humans have been subjected to autocrats throughout history. When will we learn that life is not sustained by impressive infrastructure, but by natures provisions? Big show and empty promises will eventually prove fatal as they have throughout human history.
When you are lulled to sleep by expectations that someone will give you something for nothing, you have contracted a fatal disease. The best you should strive for in the real world is that you can work for the advancement of civilization while providing for your own welfare. That opportunity is uniquely provided in the United States. However, it is being subjected to rapid elimination in today’s America. The snake oil salesmen are blinding Americans with baseless illusions.
Autocratic control is control over life and death itself. The autocrats control who lives or dies. Confiscation and population control are tools in their hands. They are ultimate destroyers of civilization. Their fruits for mankind are a return to hunting and gathering by the surviving few.
Autocrats have failed miserably at every turn in the history of mankind. Our government is regressing rapidly to autocratic power.
My comments are not predicative of what is about to happen. But I am frightened that without an American reawakening, they are the logical course. Our government must stop its spend, spend, spend and bailout policies without delay.
