1.We should spend sufficient credit into existence to supply the basic operating expenses of government at all levels without recourse to either taxes or borrowing…
2.The remainder of the total societal gap between production and purchasing power would be filled by a non-taxable National Dividend of two types. One would be a cash stipend paid to all citizens which would also serve the purpose of eliminating poverty by providing everyone with a basic income guarantee…
5.Bank lending would be accomplished without fractional reserve methods by requiring banks to supplement their capital and deposits with credit borrowed at very low rates from the federal government as publicly-created credit…

I think this is worth looking at.

But if Republicans are serious about being anti-socialist and pro-individual and pro-business, shouldn’t they suggest doing away with that tax on oil and redistribution to citizens, so that oil companies get to keep ALL the profits they make and residents of Alaska can live by their means, like they always say they do? I’m not for it, I’m just saying it is supposed to be their ideology. But then, so is balancing budgets.

Not to mention, has anyone looked at how many federal dollars Alaska gets back for every dollar it pays ? And how that varies from state to state ?

i am sure flailin palin will make some stupid comment about how she’s so glad that stevens has been found not guilty.

Beauty! “Stevens’ conviction is proof that he’s committed no illegal acts.”

Socialism is not a discrete philosophy of fixed doctrine and program; its branches advocate a degree of social interventionism and economic rationalization, sometimes opposing each other. Another dividing feature of the socialist movement is the split on how a socialist economy should be established between the reformists and the revolutionaries. Some socialists advocate complete nationalization of the means of production, distribution, and exchange; while others advocate state control of capital within the framework of a market economy. Social democrats propose selective nationalization of key national industries in mixed economies combined with tax-funded welfare programs; Libertarian socialism (which includes Socialist Anarchism and Libertarian Marxism) rejects state control and ownership of the economy altogether and advocates direct collective ownership of the means of production via co-operative workers’ councils and workplace democracy.

I’d like to point out that programs which are considered “socialistic” by the Right such as Medicare and Medicaid are anything but. The taxpayer pays for these resources via deductions from their paychecks, but the associated industries pay NOTHING. They agree to accept lower reimbursement amounts if they participate, but they can also opt out of accepting Medicare/Medicaid patients for all but emergency care. The creation of “managed care” back in the 70’s was supposed to be a cost containment measure, but they were allowed after a time to become pro-profit entities, and were also allowed to exclude anyone with pre-existing conditions as well as limit medical procedures requested by a physician.

Steven found guilty of making false statements. All seven counts.

But I wonder if that’s considered a bad thing in Alaska. (see Palin, Sarah)

PEACE

i found this yesterday, via C&L.:

Spreading The Wealth

Stay with me here. [...]

http://www.bobcesca.com/blog-archives/2008/10/spreading_the_w.html

You can call it “sharing” the wealth or “spreading” the wealth – it’s the same damn thing.

Man, I’m sick of this crap already. Where is the fu(king MSM in calling Palin out on this?

“And the United States, we’re set up, unlike some other countries in the world, where it’s collectively Americans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs. … It’s to maximize benefits for Americans, not an individual company, not some multinational somewhere, but for Americans.”

“BANG”… argument dead.

Nice one.

Who’s paying for the handouts she’s giving in alaska?
those of us in the lower forty eight when the oil companies recoup their losses by adding it into our costs.

Who’s paying for the bailout of wall street?
again, those of us who go to work daily and don’t make 20 million a year.

who paid for her new wardrobe?
the RNC…wouldn’t that be government providing for your needs sarah?

ten bucks says the slimy skank “donates” her new wardrobe to unwed pregnant girls…mainly her daughter

i understand THAT… but she’s playing to her idjit audience,
and they don’t…
