A New Philosophy: The Altruistic State

As I have discussed before, I believe we need a new way of thinking. The altruistic state is the only way to survive. In such a state, the government guarantees a good job, health care, a safe place to live and a livable wage. When all four components are there, stress and problems will become insolvent. Incidentally, one of the greatest Presidents ever, FDR, tried to implement this late in his life but died before he could implement it. How different would our lives be if this great man had accomplished such a thing? It is also why I believe conspiracy theories over Pearl Harbor are nonsense. FDR was no globalist as seen by his actions. He was AGAINST the big corporations who tried to have him killed and replaced with Gen. Smedley Butler. Butler turned in the conspirators (the real conspiracy) in front of Congress and while no names were ever officially given, Prescott Bush, DuPont and a dozen other robber barons were believed to be behind this. Where is this kind of leadership now? We needed a FDR. Obama has given us Bush lite.
The Tea Party is dramatically moving into dangerous territory. It has been uncovered that the billionaire Koch brothers are funding the organization with direct help from Republican Dick Armey. This is not grass roots. This is a fascist takeover, ala 1936 all over again. Only this time they don't need to kill anybody. Obama's doing a bang up job discrediting himself everyday. By giving up on a public option on health care he accomplished nothing. By passing a credit card bill that did a little to help but just barely is why peope are so mad. FDR made sweeping changes even against Republican spats. The democrats have got to grow a pair. Stop negotiations by giving up your most important pieces to gain traction on nothing. Let the Republicans filibuster. The last time this happened, they got the blame and helped save the Clinton presidency. Another could do wonders. Why you didn't let them do it for middle class tax cuts is beyond me. It would have looked terrible. At least NY governor hopeful Paladino and Delaware witch O'Donnell are plummeting in the polls showing some kind of common sense. If only the people in CA and NV would listen.
The tea party is leading us to destruction. We need to forget about Republicans and Democrats and find a way for all of us poor folk to come together and forget about gay marriage and abortion for five seconds as the world is crumbling underneath us. I think the fact that we are headed for a disaster of unprecedented scale is more important.
We need fewer gun laws, fewer regulation on small business, much more regulation on big business, less taxes on the poor, more in the rich; this isn't rocket science as you can see. Most of us, regardless of party, religion, or race would agree with most of these items. Gun control is a hot property but statistics do bear out safer areas were guns are more prevalent. And we need them to protect against our runaway government. The altruistic society is the only way. Let's hope we're smart enough to get there.
