Whether you're the president of a corporation, or a janitor, you still only have 24 hours in a day.
One of the biggest problems in this country is income inequality, which has created a society where people don't even have time to spend with their kids. Income inequality impacts our lives in a thousand small, unpleasant ways, because prices tend to go up to what the market will bear, meaning what the more affluent can afford. Society is slowly falling apart, as the rich get richer, and the poor and middle class sink into quicksand.

I propose a MAXIMUM WAGE LAW-You can make as much as you want, as long as you create wealth for everybody. The highest paid person in a company can make up to 10 times what the lowest paid worker makes, including the janitor, including temp workers and subcontracted labor, including the value of all perks and benefits, but not more than 10 times the lowest paid salary.

This is an old idea, i take no credit for originality, and it's an idea whose time has come. My dream would be for this to become an issue in the election, this election.

If you think this is a good idea, please forward or cut and paste this to everyone you know. Please don't email me, i don't want to spend my life in front of a computer. I'm not elucidating long arguments, just putting the idea out there. Do what you will with it.

So the election season is upon us, and there are a bunch of liars, especially in the media, telling us how great things are, how the economy has grown and all the numbers are up.
Here's how statistics work.

if you put a millionaire and a homeless person in a room, their average income is $500,000/yr. If the next year the millionaire makes 2 million, and the homeless person, probably a Vietnam vet, is still living under a bridge, the average income has gone up to $1,000,000/yr. If the next year the homeless person dies, and the millionaire still makes 2 million, the average income has gone up to $2 million/yr. The economy is doing great.
That's statistics in action.

and while we're at it, let's thank the media for picking our candidates for us, and saving us the trouble of thinking for ourselves. At the beginning of the campaign, they decided who the viable candidates were, gave them billions of dollars of free advertising on the evening news, froze out everybody else, and now the results are in, because the fix is in.
Some free and fair election.

Dear Beautiful Woman

I know you think I just want you for your body
you're wrong

I do want your body
Your eyes
your lips
your hands
your toes
your belly
your hips
your thighs
your breasts
and the beautiful curling flower between your legs

I want to touch, caress, kiss, penetrate
every inch of you
every atom, every electron, and especially
your heart

I want your body because, in this world
your body is the home of your soul
and what I really want
is to connect with your soul

I want our souls to know each other
as different faces of the same soul
which is god/dess
because there is nothing but god/dess
I want god/dess
who lives in your body

So yes, I want your body
because through your body I connect to the spirit within
within me, within you
dear beautiful woman

There is no such thing as a corporation, just people, and people should be held accountable for the crimes they commit!

If you or i commit a crime, we get punished. When a "corporation" commits a crime, there is no one to punish, because there is no physical "person" to put in jail. Corporate Personhood is a license to commit crime, a "get out of jail free" card.

Are we going to keep letting them get away with it?

ABOLISH CORPORATE PERSONHOOD NOW!

The fact that election day is not a national holiday, that it is held on a workday, tells you the score right away.
As does the fact that the votes are registered on easily hackable electronic machines, supplied by private companies whose owners are often partisan, and which have had numerous, documented problems, which prove that they are untrustworthy.
Oh, and, the amounts of money needed to run almost guarantee candidates having to sell their souls to the highest bidder.
Some democracy.

As another election season is upon us, i feel torn. The face of the corporate owned state will change, but will the institutional structures change, which create a user-unfriendly American system, in which people are driven to sedate themselves in a multitude of ways, because if you’re trying to live an honest life the deck is stacked against you if all you want is to do an honest day’s work for an honest day’s wage, stacked against you because you weren’t smart enough to be born rich.

Obama inspires me with his good intentions. How much he will be able to accomplish, should he win, remains to be seen. In games theory, the rules of the game determine the outcome. For example, games of strength are won by the strong. America is a money game. The tax laws are the rules of the game, and they say if you’re rich you get subsidies, if you’re poor you get taxes. This is the bottom line, after all the loopholes have been taken advantage of. For Obama to really change America, he will have to change the tax laws and abolish corporate personhood.

Will the tax laws change, with all their elaborate loopholes and corporate welfare, which ensure that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? Why is it that businessmen can deduct "business" lunches from their taxes, but Joe Sixpack can’t deduct his sandwich? Landlords can take "depreciation allowance" off their taxes, but you can’t, if all you want to do is raise your kids in your own home. The list just goes on and on Read Perfectly Legal, by David Cay Johnston.

Will the winner take all system of elections change, that system which guarantees that some people win and others lose, which says that if you get %50.1 of the vote, you get to make %100 of the decisions, in contrast to proportional representation, which is the parlimentary system used by virtually every other western industrialized nation, where everybody wins, because it guarantees that all voices are heard

and the biggest crime of all, corporate personhood, which literally allows people to get away with murder.

the Republiconmen have won elections by buying the voting machine companies and literally writing the results they wanted (Kerry won by millions of votes, and the theft went all along the line (don’t email me, just look on the internet at the evidence, which is conclusive, for anyone willing to admit it)(yes, there was a coup d’etat in this country), by deliberately throwing democratic voters off the voting rolls with cheating tactics, such as "caging" (google greg palast), which is a way to disenfranchise voters.

Republican secretaries of state have deliberately removed tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of democratic voters from voting lists, such as happened in Florida and Ohio, and by all sorts of other dirty tricks including deliberately lying. Don’t believe it, go to the Internet, it’s all well documented.. The elections they have actually won legitimately, rather than by fraud and theft, they have won by appealing to the ugliest parts of the human psyche. Given the amount of people who responded from stupidity, nastiness, and fear, it is difficult to feel good about "the American people". Read Conservatives Without Conscience, by a former Conservative, John W. Dean.

as for the Wimpocrats, even though i know that they are just another right wing corporatist party, i still expected better from them, better than to roll over and play dead, while the theft of the the 2000 and 2004 elections happened, while G. Bush was lying us into Iraq, while the Patriot act, the supreme court nominations, and all the rest of the raping and pillaging took place. The word Impeachment was unmentionable, even though George W. Bush came into office by stealing the elections, lied us into Iraq, shredded the constitution, in short, really has committed high crimes and misdemeanors.

so please forgive me for wondering if democracy can work with the low class of citizenship that seems to be the typical american. sure, i know people are struggling just to survive. Why can’t they connect the dots and see the reasons they are struggling, which is that the rich have gotten so greedy that they’re not even leaving enough crumbs for people to get by, instead of falling for appeals to their bigotry and homophobia.

i was a history major in college, and history gives me hope. Progress is long and slow, and progress does happen. Women can vote now, blacks are no longer slaves (although many of them are fodder for the prison-industrial system), working conditions are better than they were 100 years ago, although some are worse than 50 years ago. What i see is two steps forward, one step back. Even McCain is probably the easiest going Republican of the bunch that ran, and Obama and Clinton are probably the best that can be hoped for from the Democratic, kinder and gentler status quo, party.

so yes, despite the inherent weakness of government only being as good as what the governed will tolerate, democracy is better than the alternatives.

And is america really a democracy, which means rule by the people, or is America a plutocracy, which means rule by the rich. Right now, probably a plutocracy, because at the moment we have the best government money can buy

CORPORATE PERSONHOOD IS A LICENSE FOR CRIME
There is no physical, tangible being called a corporation. "corporation" is a legal fiction created to allow people to engage in business, without risk of losing their personal wealth. It was not intended to protect criminals from legal consequences for their crimes, but that is what is going on, because when a "corporation" commits a crime, there is nobody to lock up.

Corporations, meaning the executives, can sell dangerous drugs which their own scientists have warned them about, pollute the environment, cheat people out of their retirements, hire armed thugs to suppress people in other countries, Nigeria, for example, Exxon Valdez, Bhopal, Enron, the list goes on and on, and there is nobody to go to jail, even though the "corporation" might get fined, which they will promptly take off their taxes. How about a law that says fines are not tax deductible, or better, that executives are personally responsible for crimes knowingly ordered by them, which includes criminal negligence. And how about a maximum wage law, that says nobody at a business can make more than 10 times the lowest wage. You can make as much as you want, just be fair and share the wealth, don’t just keep it all for yourself, which is what is happening today. Workers get fired, executives get bonuses.

Personal responsibility is the cornerstone of every system of morality known to man. The reason we so many problems with corporations, is that nobody is held responsible. Let’s change that.End Corporate personhood now.

Three main points:

1) Our environment is so polluted with the toxic byproducts of modern industrial civilization, which we take in every day, often with every breath. And, our society is so stressful that it cause illness.

2) Most chronic illnesses are the results of our lifestyle; what we eat, exercise, etc. More importantly, research has conclusively linked toxic, unhappy thoughts and emotions with illness, a concept rarely mentioned. In the same way we learned how to drive our car, it is our responsibility to live a healthy life, to eat good food, get good exercise, good rest, and all the other physical skills. It is our responsibility to learn how to run our mind and emotions, in ways which make us healthy, not sick. All the pills in the world can't make up for a diet of doritos and coke, eaten sitting on the couch watching TV, and worse, bitter thoughts and an angry heart

3) Western pill and scalpel medicine is a profit oriented, business monopoly, that has suppressed other forms of healing, and which prefers the expensive, brutal sledgehammers of cutting people open and giving people toxic pills with horrible side effects, to the gentler methods of herbs, chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, etc., to the deeper healing of teaching people how to live a healthy life.

When i hear hilary and Obama talk about health care, i think that their hearts are in the right place, but i question the results. Western medicine is great for putting you back together if you've been in a car crash. It sucks for treating chronic illness. This allopathic, pill and scalpel medicine, addresses symptoms of diseases, not causes, is hugely expensive, and the truth is, it doesn't get good results. Read SUGAR BLUES, by William Dufty, which is a history of western medicine.

1) People are eating poisoned food
(pestiCIDE, herbiCIDE, fungiCIDE, the suffix CIDE means poison),
drinking poisoned water,
not exercising,
living in a stress producing, illness producing culture,
working so many hours they don't have the time to prepare quality food and exercise even if they want to,

and then they go to doctor and say, fix me, give me a pill, after doing everything possible to make themselves sick.

A stitch in time saves nine. How about preventing disease.
Are we supposed to trust a medical system that can't even say "don't eat poison".

2) The western medical establishment has actively suppressed cures for cancer and many other diseases. Did you know that in 1951 a federal court found the Hoxsey treatment, an "alternative" cancer cure, effective. You never heard of it because the AMA drove it out of the country. The links are below, or just google Hoxsey treatment. It's only one of many examples.

http://curezone.com/art/read.asp?ID=91&db=5&C0=779

http://www.video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5528328984547372206

I do think that everyone should have access to medical care, and i do think a single payer system, like Canada, is the way to do it, and I don't want to see an immense giveaway to the corrupt, ineffective "health" care (actually "sickness" care) industry, really just a bunch of drug pushers who are allowed to put their ads on TV.

I want to see the emphasis on prevention, on treating causes of illness, on eliminating poisons from the environment, on cheap, effective, lifestyle changes, such as education in meditation, exercise, healthy eating, etc. i want access to chiropractic, homeopathy, shiatsu, all the "alternatives" that the business monoply we call western medicine has prevented us from having access to, because western medicine wanted to keep all the money for itself.

Republicans accuse Democrats of being brainless.
Democrats think Republicans are heartless.
who's right?

The bottom line Republican principle is personal responsibility, we are all responsible for taking care of ourselves.
The bottom line Democratic principle is social responsibility, we are all responsible for taking care of each other.
So far, so good.

Now it starts breaking down.

The Republican emphasis on the individual neglects social conditions such as low wages, high rents, poor schools, racism, etc. If a janitor job pays $8/hr, and you have to pay rent, bills, food, car, health insurance, that's not going to work, and society needs people to do those service jobs, so you can't just say they should all get better jobs, and anyway the rich have the poor by the balls, it's work for low wages or don't work at all.

On the other hand, Democrats refuse to recognize that people are just as much victims of themselves, as they are of social conditions. One can make the best of a bad situation or the worst of a good situation. Poverty is just as much about poor use of resources, as it is about lack of resources. If you've spent your food money on potato chips and beer, don't cry poverty.

Republicans believe it's dog eat dog, every man for himself, competition, winners and losers.
Democrats believe that we're helpless victims of large forces, which are beyond our control.

Republicans worship the rich, believing that money is a sign of God's favor, and we should all kiss the boss' ass for giving us jobs.
Democrats idealize the poor, believing that the worker is noble,and say that there is no business without employees, although most workers wouldn't have the slightest idea of how to run a business.
Cut the shit. People are people.

Two half truths=one whole truth.
We need to do the best we can, to demand excellence from ourselves, to not make or accept excuses, and we need to create a system that is user friendly.
We need to take personal responsibility for making the best use of our resources, to make wise decisions with our money, and it's morally wrong to let someone starve if you can feed them, even if they're a fuckup.

Like it or not, it's an inter-dependent world. and we're all in this together.
