Then What?
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
This morning during my multi-tasking exercise of watching Sports Center and reading several different on-line newspapers, a TV commercial was shown, promoting Michael Moore’s latest film project -- bashing capitalism. Additional details on the film “Capitalism” are available here.
Given the recent developments in Congress and the associated perspective that our capitalistic system has caused us to be in the dire circumstances we find ourselves to be. As we should clearly understand our only possible salvation is the federal government coming to our rescue -- paying for our health care requirements, giving us money to purchase new autos, stimulating our economy with massive spending infusions to save our jobs, in spite of the ones that are being lost.
The overwhelming evidence has caused me to wonder what might be the outcome if we just quit fighting the efforts of those in charge of our government and went along with their grand socialistic design.
Maybe if we went and saw the Michael Moore film we could all come away converted to see how profits are indeed evil and something which ought not be pursued by anyone -- since only the greedy are benefited.
On a universal basis, involving all business enterprises or those who provide private sector employment – we should call all our employees together and share with them how we have come to our senses. Because of the insights we have gained from Democratic party leaders at the state and national level (and superior moral progressives who have advanced the cause of how wrong everyone is who has any type of financial resources) we recognize that government is the solution. Everyone should simply go home and sit on their couches or chairs and wait for the government checks that we all deserve to receive.
We fully understand and obediently accept that health care is a Right, bestowed by government. Not only those who are not capable of receiving health insurance coverage, but everyone (including those who currently pay for their health care or who benefit from a health care insurance service) should simply receive health care with the bill picked up by the federal government. No one should be required to shoulder any of these types of responsibilities – financially or otherwise -- because it is a Right that our government should simply provide. Since we’ve all stopped being employed because the pursuit of profits was not appropriate (and without profits employment was not possible) we all require the federal government to provide for us anyway.
Since we’re just sitting on our couches waiting for the government to deliver us what we need, we will cut back on our terrible misuse of fossil fuels. Government purchased wind mills or solar panels will be able to generate the eco-friendly energy we require, although we’d have to figure out how or why anyone would want to work to install or operate any of the required systems…but, that’s probably something we shouldn’t bother ourselves worrying about anyway. Elected representatives could figure that out behind closed doors and come forward with the answer they have decided for us because they just know better than any of us anyway…
In our socially-correct and government-financed Utopia, free of the evils of profits we could just expect that whatever we might require would be available without there needing to be anyone or anything producing or providing. It is as we need it and because we need it – it should be available…the same principles that Nevada legislators use when it comes to determining state spending.
Instead of being the villains that we are made out to be by film makers and Democratic legislators, we should just accept the wisdom of the insights they have to offer – quit fighting for an economic system that is intended to reward on capitalistic principles…join them in the committed belief that government can and should provide everything we need, want and deserve to have.
If that were to be the outcome, which would be the result of continuation in the direction things are going -- Then what? Can anyone else see a possible problem that we might have missed?
