Equality rocks .... Equity is a perversion of Equality.There are a whole lot of changes going to happen this decade and a lot of potential for things to go wrong unless we do build a more equatable society. Sadly, I don't think politicians are ready for what is to come.
Imprimis is a publication of Hillsdale College, a conservative leaning institution. Their pieces are concise, to the point and fact filled.
Theres no doubt runaway capitalism needs to be addressed.There are a whole lot of changes going to happen this decade and a lot of potential for things to go wrong unless we do build a more equatable society. Sadly, I don't think politicians are ready for what is to come.
Here we agree.Theres no doubt runaway capitalism needs to be addressed.
Sadly corruption is happening in every economic system, not just communism. Unless we deal with corruption regardless of political ideology, it will simply continue.However not by pollyanna type socialists who seem to have forgotten that every single attempt at communism was an utter failure because the very same corruption that infects capitalism was allowed to fester much worse due to their authoritarian and censored societies.
It takes a concerted effort to change things around. Despite my reservations (to put it mildly) on China's human rights, China's economic rise is short of a miracle. You see similar improvements in living standards in former soviet countries who joined the EU.The issues most troubling about "equity" is that countries being rich or poor isnt random chance.
Among other things, the birth rate is reduced when you introduce social security and education. You don't need many kids to secure your old age if one can earn enough to look after you or when the state looks after you. I also know some young adults who told me that they do not want to raise children in this world as they see to much hate around them, but I don't know if that is just coincidence or a major reason world wide.For instance we hear that this year some 250 million in Africa face starvation. We need to act now.
The birth rate in America is 1.67.
I looked at the list of nations affected in Africa.
It goes like this:
Somalia 5.89
Congo, Dem. Rep. 5.72
Mali 5.69
Chad 5.55
Angola 5.37
Nigeria 5.25
Burundi 5.24
The Gambia 5.09
Is it any wonder that almost 2 generations after "we are the world" they are still starving?
Where does equity end and stupid start?
