I don't believe my ideas are socialism. I believe they may be brand new ideas based off a few things I have seen.

Before the tax man came along the family farm was very sustainable. A couple acres of crops, a hog or two, some goats and hard work and they were set with everything they'd ever need right there.
Then somebody thought they should be forced to give a portion of the fruit of their labor to somebody else. Then somebody thought it wasnt fair they had dirt to plant in and threatened to take it all away if they didnt pay.
Then we all got 9-5's and bought condo's and consumed toys and birthed debt until it came time to die.

You have to admit my system is better than the current one.
It makes it were the rich pay more.
I know not all poor and rich are the same but that does not matter when it comes having human compassion.
What I mean is everyone is equal and should be treated so.
The rich should not be able to buy jets, and all these luxery while other suffer.
Who do you think scraficed for them to have their luxeries? With our current someone always scarfices to make someone else rich.
I am simply seeking a fair system.

my parents were conservsatives. I do not subscribe to their way of thinking.
The more I think about the more my system sounds better than any other out there.
The only people who would oppose my system are the rich.
What sort of emergency meeting would someone need to go to that recquires a jet? The govrnment already has acess to jets so I am not sure who else would need one.
I NEVER believe in any human suffering. In my system NO ONE would suffer; in the current system millions suffer.
The rich would still have plenty just not so much excess that they squander it away and act like idoits with their money.

I am thinking of things now. I am disillusioned by the current system. Hard work DOES NOT pay off.
I have worked very hard you that is how I got to the point of disillusionment.
I really did not think people on ats really agreed with captilism but then again you are one person on here.
I am sick of being a slave to money. I want freedom from it. I worked 2 jobs put TOO much effort into thing yet did not get anywhere!
I do not believe you have to be on the brink of suicide to live; that's not living that is slowly dying. I wanted to live so that is whyI decided I will never again work full time. Of course that descion is sort of made for me because I have a disablity which means in order to keep my insurance.
I can prove to you that money causes stress and shortens lives. I can also prove to you that when people are paying less out in bills they are freer.
When I got on a program to help me with electrcity I was not stressed out about that bill anymore.
So you really think a life of slavery to money is best? How? For whom?
I don't believe in being rich. If I am rich I promise you I will use to better society. If I win millions of dollars ever than I will find a way to build the start of a society that I envision.
It only takes one dreamer to come up with great ideas. I know that it is unrealistic to think this is going to happen anytime soon but in my lifetime I hope people are free from money and debt.
I know I am right; I am just not sure about the form yet.

That's pretty cool. A 'open source' device. Glad to see that is finally making it out of the software realm. I've never been a fan of copyright laws in the first place, it stifles innovation. I believe in a creator license, so people know where it originated, but to keep a particular method of achievement under wraps is beyond detrimental.
Kudos to those guys in that link. Even if it is just a brick maker, ha. It's a start.
