Government Has a Purpose–Guaranteeing Always Competitive Markets
Right now, the ultra rich Oligarchs use government to freeze out competition to their bloated, predatory corporations. We must take back the government to force competitive markets everywhere.
In the exact same way the government uses force to protect your individual ability to believe, say and do as you wish (as long as you do not harm someone else’s life, liberty or property), it has an obligation to guarantee that you can participate in competitive markets.
How can the government guarantees competitive markets? By taxing excessive wealth, by taxing every dollar of wealth the same for individuals and corporations, by breaking up monopolies and oligopolies and by creating a safety regulatory system that does not choose the market’s winners and losers.
A business of any size paying even one worker a full-time wage that does not allow for the worker to pay for their own home, clothes and food is a freeloading business. That company wants you and me, the taxpayer, to pay for their profits, instead of earning their profits. No more freeloading businesses! It stops now with the power of our government enforcing these rules that we all have to work by.
When a competitive market cannot exist because the profit motive and social motive do not align, like with healthcare, education and defense, the government has a responsibility to create that market. Is this Marxist Socialism? No!
Do you know how I know that it is not Marxist Socialism? Because regulating markets to always be competitive has nothing to do with the Marxist socialist aims of abolishing private property, getting rid of cash, banning religion and ending the very idea of the state.
Regulated competitive markets are still capitalist, arguably, the most capitalist! They are just not the unregulated Free Market Capitalism or Laissez-faire Capitalism that every great thinker of the last 300 years said is as bad as Marxist Socialism. We also have seen how bad Free Market Capitalism is with our own eyes.
We have plenty of places to point to that are competitive market economies with great individual freedom. With our own eyes we can see the success of Denmark and Norway. These countries are meeting the metric: the government is guaranteeing that the most possible people can exist as they are and can fairly participate in competitive markets while accomplishing this with as much force as necessary, and not one ounce more.
