The issue here, and all the comments are relating to the capital market system set up by the US Government for the individual citizens to use the system for a better life. Now, in order to solve these problems, you need to know what caused the problems in the first place. Only the government that completely sets up the capital market system will have it work for the citizens living in it in the long run. To date the capital market system has NOT yet been completely set up. It has nothing to do with the stated original post, or the comments on this post. Although the title line stats that the U.S. is not greatest country ever, This is because the only way to get any return from the capital market system is through investment risk into the capital market system. The government must set up the initial capitalization structure in order for it to work for all the citizens living in the capital market system. All these problems come from the government NOT finishing the set up of the capital market system in the country. The effect is the very government that set the capital market system up becomes the opposing force against the capital market system it set up in the first place. Only the government minting/printing the money to be used as the medium of exchange for the citizens living in the capital market system can do the initial capitalization for the entire capital market system for the country who uses it. Without the initial investment made by the government who uses the capital market system for the country the inherent flaw in the capital market system (which is what I call the GAP FLAW)
Now, I can not understand why no one responds to this issue after they read it!
The Gap Flaw in the capital market system is only those who capitalize in the system will have any chance to get a return from the system. The government must set up the entire capital market system for the country in order to ever hope for a return from the system. To date, some 200+ years after setting up the system without capitalizing the entire system causes the government to react negatively towards the very system it set up in the first place. In the capital market system (free enterprise) The initial capitalization, is a investment made into the capital market system from the government through the assets of the government. The assets of the government is each individual citizen living in the capital market system. The government capitalizes the entire capital market system with an investment into each asset in the country that uses a capital market system. After the initial investment is made by the government who set up the system in the first place. The capital market system will return a profit to the government through the productivity of each citizens life span living in the system. That profit gain will generate the money needed for the operating cost for the government who completely sets up the capital market system. The initial investment made by the government is not a private sector investment. It is not what a person would think of as a bank account, or a stalk market investment. The investment funds are used to establish trading partnerships with other countries governments who also want to set up a capital market system in their country. The return on the initial investment made in the individual citizen would be very large as the capital market system is the strongest force known to man,
So, the post here is correct for what we are seeing today. But, the fix. (initial capitalization for the entire system) once made would solve all these economic problems we see today. The reason for this is the government did not finish setting up the capital market system, so the potential of the system has not even been taped yet. It really has not even started yet! It will only start with the issuing government investment in each individual citizen living in the system to solve the gap flaw problem over time. This gap flaw problem is compounded when the issuing government does not finish setting up the system.
The government needs money to pay for operations of the government using the capital market system they attempted to set up. All individual citizens are forced to use the capital market system in the country. those who can not capitalize in the market for what ever reason will have less money, than those who can. 2 ways for the individual citizen to capitalize in the market. eith work for the business, or start a business. those who work for the government also capitalize from money received for that work. But, because the inital investment was never made, the government needs to collect, or force money out of the capital market in order to pay for the operating expense of the government. The gap flaw without the initial capitalization of the entire system from the government that wants to use the capital market is where we are today.
The government finds itself not only needing the money for operation cost, but to fill the gap flaw too. It is the filling of the gap flaw that causes even more money to be needed for by the government. Those individuals who can capitalize in the market are forced to pay for the cost of the government operations in the form of tax collection efforts. Fees, fines, and anything else the government can think of to get the money to set up 1,000's of programs to fill in the gap flaw in the capital market. Those who can not capitalize in the market, or are limited to working for a business that has capitalized in the market, for what ever reason, will look towards the government, or charity groups (also set up to fill in the gap flaw) for money to help pay everyday standard of living expenses. The gap flaw is that only a limited number of citizens in the nation using the capital market system will be able to capitalize in it. The money will eventually go to only a few groups, or businesses, the longer the government wants to use the greatest force on earth, the capital market system, without the initial investment made from the government. All those citizens who can not capitalize in the market will still need to have money to pay for living expenses in the system. Those with less money, then are controlled by those with more money. The gap flaw causes the people, or groups who have the money, to control those with less money. The government will try everything iit can to help those who have less money, and can't pay for the expenses associated with living in the capital market system. Because the common citizen will not be able to capitalize in the system enough over tome as standard of livings increase over time. The capital market will cost more to live in over time. The citizen who is just born until able to capitalize in the market age 1-18. And those who are retired out of the capital market age 65 or older. Without the initial capitalization made by the government who set it up, will have economic problems, unless they set up, or had someone else set up a fund to draw from for basic living standard expenses until the death of the citizen. Those who can capitalize in the market already set up their investment to gain a return for retirement, and pay for the cost of raising children in the market. Only a few in the market will be able to do this.
This capital market force will put economic pressure on the government to provide the service, this will cause pressure on the businesses who can capitalize in the market, as the government will need to collect more, and more money from the system in order to provide all the services.
I hope you can get the point here, I have a lot more written down about the solution if anyone is interested in saving the capital market system, yes, the most powerful system known to man.
I have all the details on how the initial investments, are made, and how it would work.
But, to date no one has seemed to want to fix the problem, or respond to the idea outline here.
If, the government consumes all the money to provide the service, the capital market will crash back to the government who attempted to set it up, now with no alternative. All citizens would live in a economic dictatorship government system. Like the system set up in China.
Is that what you want?
Here is a bit more for those interested in fixing the system, and try to understand the problem, and the solution.
Those who want to live in freedom need to know where the problem came from in the first place, and get active to finish setting up the capital market system. the only this the founder did was buy time from the market, after 200+ years the time is almost up.
