The Dream Of A New Government

Having listened to the neo-con hijacked Tea Party movement, I am certain that no one in this country knows what forms of government are anymore. Cries of socialism equated with the Nazi's or Obamacare as a commie plot (they aren't) glut the airwaves, pushed along by know nothings like Glenn Beck. I literally watched him equate socialism with The Holocaust last week as I struggled to keep down my lunch. Socialism was a word stolen by the Nazis the same way they stole the swastika. The Nazis were fascist; a path we are rapidly heading towards with both party's support. Although I have to say I feel the Dems are on a slower path while the Repubs are hell bent for it. Mind you the final outcome is the same but anyone voting Republican is in fact a true traitor to this country. Votes for the democrats are not really any better but at least they are attempting to do something to fix the economy and Wall ST while the venomous Repubs are shooting down even the most common sense laws due to their inability to compromise. Incidentally this was started back in 92 when Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard noted that agreeing with dems in any way leads to them winning. Disagree about everything and give them nothing. Except gridlock of course and a failed state. Sound familiar?
So what to do? As all other forms of government ahas failed I intend to invent a new one. Lets call it Altriusm or the Altruistic society. This form of government is represented by the people where paper ballots (or computers with a verified paper trail) are used to elect people democratically. The government's job is thus: to provide for its people a place to live, free health care, a decent salary, protection from crime, a diverse well funded (not over funded) military, a highly regulated Wall St with the elimination of many, many rules that work only to enrich the wealthy (more on that later), freedom of religion (to a point), freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, the right to abortion clinics, gay rights, six weeks paid vacation, the elimination of at will work laws, free college, free education, free day care, 7 personal/sick days and a maximum salary allowed of no more than 30% of what your lowest salary employee makes. FDR wanted to do this before he died but once he was gone, these ideas went with him. Which sucks because had he done this, the USA would be the most powerful country in the world by far with everyone modeling after us. We may not have had world peace but it would have been better than we have today.
Organized religion needs to be abolished in this new state with a new spirituality replacing these ancient outdated models. This new religion would believe in a higher power, one in which good deeds lead to a better self being and possible afterlife reward. Evil does need to be shunned, imprisoned, punished in the worst ways. We could start with most of Congress.
Unfortunately, most religious believers would fight tooth and nail against this which is too bad for them. Much like Plato's allegory of the Cave Shadows, some would have to be pulled kicking and screaming into the light. Only then, would world peace be available. Until we put a stop to this, out world is doomed.
Will continue more about the altruistic society and its workings in future posts.
