Hi, Thanks for the replies! I thought about that where I said were close to the finals. I know where no where near that, not in our life time. the thing is, the top guys now have so much power, it used to be because of the main stream media, now it is because of google, amazon, youtube and the way they manipulate their algorithms, trending not trending, censorship, etc... I worry about if they get to the point where they fool enough people into giving up free speech, 2nd amendment rights, privacy rights which already seem to be gone (at least the majority do seem to understand how dangerous it is for democracy this "I'm not doing anything wrong why should I care" sickens me). this open borders crap. Sometimes I think they(we) will get what they ask for (some demand) To where we get to the point where they "own" everything without having to buy it in the traditional way (which I understand isnt capitalism but may be because of it) I do understand capitalism should take care of the censorship problem by new video hosting sites starting, new Twitter type sites, there are alternatives out there but getting the masses to use them is another story. I started a facebook account to get in touch with someone but haven't used it since. I did the same with Twitter but have recently started using it. Amazon, google, I hate some of the things they're doing but I continue to use them. I actually tried to use different search engine but usually end up back on google. it is hard not to use their services now days. I don't think they will change their ways unless they start loosing money because of it. Thats a good point about the inefficiency of big business, Ive worked for a fortune 500 company and "mom and pop shops" big difference.

Hi, This is my first post, so hello everyone! Ive been thinking although I don't know a lot about anarchy, which always sounded crazy to me until I discovered Stefan liked it so that's enough to make me want to learn more about it, so I will do in near future. My feelings at this point is it wont work because of human nature, Humans as far as I can tell, most of them usually are drawn to a leader, so that is the basic, basic reason I am not hopeful about anarchism though like I said I know very very little about it. Communism is far far from the answer. Capitalism is the best option as far as I know but not perfect. the big problem I see is the problem we are coming up on. The problem that there is eventually a winner, one guy that owns it all! Right now we are close to the finals. Eventually one person owns everything Currently the top players have a lot of power because of ignorant people doing exactly what they are told though they are the last people that will admit it. I am sure we are all guilty of this to some degree. (I guess it is fair if there is a1 winner, idk???) I have an idea I'am wondering if this may be the answer to the "winner" problem and would like to know what Stefan or others far smarter than me thinks about this as a start of an idea. High taxes for the rich or what the dems consider the rich is not the answer, it makes it harder to start a business, etc... My idea is everybody is taxed the same and no one is taxed until you have a certain amount of money, cash, gold etc.. I don't know how to come up with this amount but for this conversation lets say 10 million dollars. Maybe the amount should be higher, maybe even higher for businesses, IDK. but for example say 10 million dollars. So once you get 1 cent over $10M you get taxed. I don't know how often but for this example once a month, say the first of the month. On the first of the month you get taxed a percentage, say 10% of the total amount. any time before that date you can spend that money, start a new business, pay your workers more, spend it, give it away, anything but save it. After all who needs more than $10million in the bank? (I know some projects cost more than that to start so this is why I say it is just the start of an idea) one that may not, probably won't work at all. Pro's - who has more than 10 million dollars in the bank anyway, the people that do would have to spend it, start businesses, pay more, etc... con's - would have to be global (and I am not a globalist, not at the current age we live in anyway) how to come up with the amount and percent and period of taxing, what about buying/saving gold, silver, etc..., how would this effect the world, prices.. and probably too many cons to list. I just wanted to throw this out there, seems like this would be the place to do it. Please forgive my terrible writing, I am baddy crippled from psoriatic arthritis which makes it painful to sit up and type, even to read is almost impossible for any length of time. Regards, John
