Do we think it possible that capitalism vs. communism might be a false dichotomy? Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. America was created on the foundation principle of the separation of powers. Why did America successfully divide political power but accept a gross consolidation of economic power? How do we have a free-market system without the capitalist? How to we get billion-dollar Microsoft, without Bill Gates? (no offense to Bill Gates). But Bill Gates and the controlling stock holders of Microsoft may have elected power (dollars), but they have no term limits.
The key is finance/banking reform. A major issue behind the American Revolution was control over our own credit and currency. Instead of consolidating economic power into the hands of a “robber baron”, an equitable economic system would grant credit based on the combined credit of all the members of a corporation and all the members of a community and the projected revenue of their venture (projected sales or ear-marked taxes). Each member of the community or corporation would then become a stock-holder/partner and entitled to benefit from future profits.
