everything goes up price, groceries, gas, school tuition, household utilities (gas/electric/water) cars, taxes, pretty much anything that people need to survive. only thing i can think of is technology items, like gadgets/computers that do not go up in price.

how are we supposed to survive in the future? before the whole housing market boomed, (i live in the DC area) you could buy a decent size, single family home starting at 200k. now that same house will be 500k. i know for people who already have equity in their current homes may be able to afford to move if they wanted to but what about us 20-30 year old where we just joined the workforce within the last 5 years and we just started making money?

i'm not only talking about housing, just used that as an example. but seriously, what are we supposed to do? it seems like the middle class is dissappearing (where i am at least).

the most evil [stupid, moneymad, powermad, destructive, plain mad] are the most intensely driven to the top - from where they most brutally terrorise, cannonfodderise & rob the ppl - [richard the lionheart, crusaders, napolean, alexander, ivan the terrible, cromwell, oilmen, CEOs, etc etc etc]

limited-fortunes capitalism whips the pusfilled boil off the top of society?

love of money is the root of all evil? ie, not love of receiving just pay for just work, but love of receiving overpay, money for no work, theft, robbery, con tricks, fraud, golden parachutes, getting/taking out more from society than you put in by work, etc

if we kill the chance of getting overpaid, by limiting fortunes to the utmost any person can possibly truly earn by his own work, will we kill most evils?
eg, it wont be possible to get rich by fomenting wars & selling arms to both sides, & there wont be plenty of cheap soldiers in such poverty that a soldier's hellish but fed & clothed life is a step up

cannonfodder?
it makes sense that the most aggressive/ greedy/ powerkeen/ moneymad/ dirtiest fighters will rise to the top, where they are met by all the other hardest keenest thieves [nation leaders or owners], who will fight each other most intensely, & thus suffer the most attrition, danger - eg, the organised crime syndicates fighting each other to the death, the corporate infighting backstabbing etc, the kings fighting each other, & using the ppl for funds & cannonfodder, fomenting wars for profit
'when elephants fight, it is the grass [ie, the ppl] that suffers' [the elephants suffer too]
eg, the mafias & triads grow up out of the fighting among poverty & hardship, & thus become hardest fighters, & thus easily conquer the richer softer higher levels of society, as the sicilian mafia conquered america during the 20th C [the mafia is bigger than the 5 biggest corporatns together]
ditto the russian mafia, released into america by the fall of communsm
ditto sth amercn druglords

dont have billionaires [superoverpaid]???

wealth concentration tends to monopolism, ie tyranny of prices [monopolism causes boom & bust, depressions, superwealth/superpoverty]

japan [50% less inequality, after general macarthur's land reforms, ie equalising] has many competing companies in every field, which keeps prices well down & quality-striving high, which is why japan has taken over the car & electronics markets, & why 7 of the top ten banks have buzzed off to japan [following the money], & why japan is a world creditor, & why tokyo realestate is [hard to believe, but so i read] worth as much as all of america & europe [beware the [overdue] regular tokyo earthquake, when japan will pull its money out of the world to rebuild tokyo! invest in japanese concrete & glass then!]

wealth concentration is land monopolism which is control of everything - who owns the land owns everything & everybody - look at england - 1% own 85% of land - bangladesh: landlessness at 75%

apparently a lot of ppl think that communism is/was: everyone shares in the wealth no matter what you do, lazy ppl get equal pay with hard workers, no incentive, no room for striving for more money by working more

this is a tremendous achievement: take communism [superextreme injustice/ theft], convince americans that communism is justice, that justice is equal pay for lazy & hardworker, that justice is wrong, & therefore that american injustice-capitalism [1% get 90%, freedom for bandits, very similar to communism] is good!!!

the dumbing of america is on a par with the catholic mafia's keeping of christians illiterate for 2000 years [the reformation/ protestant/ printing/ vernacular bible movement began the breaking of it down] & the muslim mafia's keeping of poverty/ ignorance/ fundamentalism [do the buddhist & hindu mafias do it too?]

unemployment can be easily destroyed: simply 'float' the official workweek, the point at which overtime rates kick in - employers will then hire more to avoid paying overtime - the official workweek can be downed to absorb unemployed in economic downturns, upped when there is labour shortage

but govts dont do this - they shd be serving the ppl but they are serving employers: keeping a body of unemployed to stop employees asking for raises [govts pay unemployment so that if the economy turns up, the unemployed are ready to go back to work, not halfdead from starvation & disease] - govts are cowing the workforce with threat of unemployment: slavery subjection unliberty - the same thing the german industrialists did by using hitler to kill 100,000+ friends of worker rights - state terrorism - just more subtle [so far, most of th time] in america
[i'm suspecting that th indstrlsts arranged th german 1920s hyperinflation to greatly rob & weaken th ppl & make themslvs look like saviours]

b can grow 5b [=5 bushels] on own, a can grow 10b on own, a+b can grow 30b - therefore a & b shd get 15 each? [assuming equal hrs of work, including a's time reading studying thinking experimenting] [or, put another way, just division is in proportion to workhour shares]
workTIME is the only thing that is paid IN JUSTICE [= peace democracy liberty law order nonextinction]? because the only PERSONAL LOSS is time [the energy loss difference wd be insignificant, a tspn of glucose - mental work uses ?more energy]
the smarts [gift of nature] are not IN JUSTICE to be paid for - because they are not any PERSONAL LOSS - the fact that, when mother nature peppers humanity with smarts, more land on a's head than on b's head, is nothing to do with payrights - reward a, for something nature did? no
is this not the meaning of equality? unequal gifts, equal payrights?
& WHO is saying smarts are SUPERIOR to muscle?
is paying for gifts like floodng 1 organ with blood, starvng others? = death2all?

since 99% are paid less than the world average, & wd therefore be paid more with justly limited fortunes & return of the overfortunes/overpay to the true owners/earners/workers/makers of it, can 99 peacefully prevent 1 from legal stealing? [a 99% majority is usually enough to get laws passed]

since the extreme overpay/underpay causes violence [war & crime], causing extremely lower quality of life [misery] for both robbers & robbed [rich & poor, 1% & 99%], & it can easily be shown to all that they ALREADY AGREE that this is so, & that the violence is escalative, & is close to consuming all, & that therfore it is extremely in EVERYONE'S SELFINTERESTS to move closer to what ppl consider & accept is justice/ nontheft/ noninjury/ fairpay - in short, that 100% of ppl will gain extremely in happiness from justice - can this change be made peacefully, with approval & support of virtually everyone, entirely by EDUCATION IN REALITY?

Are there any studies on US self-dependence? Suppose we only allowed the same value of imports that each country imports from us. How would our economy react? For example: The price of oil would go up (bad) but there would be many jobs created to build the items we would not import (good). Any thoughts?
