Win Win Capitalism

Free Markets work as an optimization algorithm, but they are often constrained by hoarders and market manipulators.  Regulation and taxation is not the answer; government should have no business in markets.  The role of Government in society should be to maintain Civilization which means “Civil Society” —

  • Education
  • Physical security (Police, fire, healthcare, housing)
  • Trade deals with other nations
  • Maintain national databases (Citizens, Marriage, Birth, Death records, Real Estate, Vehicles, etc.)
  • Create laws, rules, ordinances for the maintenance of law and order (i.e. no stealing, no murder, no public obscenities..)

Win – Win Capitalism is a free market system where there is always a winner!  This is actually very practical and it exists today, it’s just not the mainstream force in the market.  The current main force in the market is a Win-Lose Monopoly Capitalism or “Mafia State” that maintains the status quo, based on having larger bank accounts, more power and influence, and squeezing every last component of value from the underclasses.  The reason this exists is obvious, there is a financial incentive for winners to rig future markets to their favor.  This is most obvious in Currency markets, where the Central Bank determines the value based on interest rates and money supply.  Once you own a bank and have billions of dollars, why would you not rig the system to turn your 1 Billion into 2 Billion and so on?  The current system in its form rewards this toxic behavior and punishes win-win ethical market participants.

  1. Abolish income tax –
  2. Create a Tariff system that encourages to shop locally.  This should be multi-layered, i.e. Federal Tariffs against other countries (up to 70%) and State Tariffs on other states (10% – 20%) and even on the County level.
  3. Punish Excessive Consumption – You can buy ONE Patek Philippe, but not 20.  If you own multiple private residences, you can have 3 as primary residences, if you have more than 3, you must rent them out.  If you are a car collector, you are allowed to own more than 3 cars, but you must register as a Car Club and share with other collectors.  No one can exclusively own the Batmobile, it can only be purchased by the Club, which shares with it’s members.  “Sacred Assets” can be purchased privately by Museums, Endowments, Private Foundations, but must be shared.
  4. Punish Hoarding – Accounts over $100 Million will have negative interest rates.  Limit the total purchases of any consumable goods.
  5. Encourage Investment –  No terms on your first $200,000 in income for an individual or $400,000 joint or with dependents.  After that, keep 10% of your income free and clear, 90% must be invested in the local economy (you can’t just buy stocks).  This is managed by State authorized but privately run VC firms.  Startups are given a minimum of $250,000 to start and maximum of $5,000,000.
  6. Decrease government spending by 90% – Repurpose the military, stop building fighter jets and aircraft carriers, focus on advanced non-lethal weapons and defense, the traditional military will build roads, bridges, houses, and schools.  The Army core of Engineers will be used to design civilian infrastructure with security built into the construction.

Nature and the Cosmos is all about balance, and with balance comes abundance, without hoarding comes over supply.

The future is Analog, not digital – Consciousness, not pure Intellect – Abundance, not Famine.
