Moral and Ethical Reformation
The
one absolute truth I know is that socialism cannot exist because of the
motivation and ambition factor that capitalism creates; therefore, a moral and
ethical reformation needs to take place. My theory is radical, yet practical in
implementing due to the repercussion of the definitive nature in how humans
react to drastic change. By creating new social contracts between citizens and
government that benefit the nation, as, "we the people" see fit.
The
first order that needs to be established is the redistribution of wealth, and I
do not mean the "robin hood" effect, I simply mean moral and ethical
standards that many professions have-for corporations and politicians. To
accomplish the means, extremes must be taken into consideration, to establish a
new social code that refutes the idea of profiting, while millions live
paycheck to paycheck due to blatant exploitation of the immigrant and working
class. Examples of exploitation can heel seen in the migrant worker population,
which is modern day slavery and the retail industry who value profit over the
well-being of their employee, not allowing many employees to obtain benefits by
overstaffing to dilute the fulltime staff. In addition to these outsourcing
must be involved influx this category. Companies and corporations who
participate in this "Un-American" practice of exploiting third world
societies for cheap slave like labor, must be taxed half of their profits and
can only establish a 30% markup value to reappropriate the monies lost in the
American economy due to corporate greed.
The next
reform would have to be in the government and the officials who hold office in
order to recreate the government based on the 99%s needs rather those
corporations and the disgustingly wealthy. The establishment of a Congress led
by intellectuals is needed, rather than politicians whose interests are not for
the common American, but rather for their own benefit. The politicians who have
abused their power for monetary gain should be considered traitors to the union
and have the just sentence so that these acts never are repeated. Once these
new moral and ethical standards are put in place democracy and equalitism
(eqaulity+capitalism) can flourish. Even though many believe capitalistic
forces destroy individuality, it is not capitalism, but the people who use it
to exploit the weak and poor- who have made this machine into a monster. The
change starts with the taming of the monster; to have it work alongside of
everyone rather just for a few individuals. Within the constitution all people
have certain inalienable rights; which have been taken away for quite some time
now- so I ask who is willing to take them back-because time waits for no man or
woman, let us become one force for a new moral and ethical standard in the United
States and the world.
