Why You Should Consider a Job With the Federal Government

"I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate (the) grave evils (of capitalism), namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child. The education of the individual, in addition to promoting his own innate abilities, would attempt to develop in him a sense of responsibility for his fellow-men in place of the glorification of power and success in our present society."
Albert Einstein, Why Socialism?, 1949

Well it seem's Einstein favored Socialism, this is meant for the previous quote of Einstein

Next: Economic Aspects of Socialism

An economic goal of socialism is to more effectively satisfy demand by producing utility directly without being burdened by private property relations in the means of production and the need to generate profit, which socialists generally view as being obsolete and an impediment to contemporary productive capabilities. Various differing definitions of what constitutes a socialist economy exist, ranging from socialists who state a socialist economy is one in which wage labor, private property in the means of production and monetary relations have been made obsolete, or that the market economy and private ownership of the means of production have been superseded by economic planning to maximize use-values as opposed to exchange-values; to definitions that simply advocate state or cooperative enterprises in either free-market or mixed market economies.

You can't simply pull a definition out of a dictionary, Socialism is not that simple, it come in many different shapes and forms. The ideal Socialism is a meant to be a Government supported by a Free Market Economy, don't confuse Socialism with Communism[ Socialism can work where Communism can't ].

You're talking because you're not white. Looks like everyone but white folks who build this country. Not so. The first settlers were white and worked their butt off to build smthng in no man land ! And we NEVER get any special treatment from the gov. Just the opposite! Same as for getting in schools! And we aren't lazy

JM, I apreciate your response but you got off to a bad start as we are talking about corperate tax rates not personal. Your numbers sound compelling and beautifully spun to do just that. The corperate tax rate in the USA is 34%. I own a very small company that employs 14 people. I know first hand how hard it is to make it as a business person in America. The people that work for me and the folks that patronize my business have no Idea how close to the end of our relationship we have come over the last couple years. Please explain to me if the tax rate is so low in the US why would a corp. even set up shop where it is so exspensive. It flys in the face of logic that a corp. would walk away from the "low" tax burden here to pay more there. Truth is if we want America to grow out of this financial mess the one thing that would do it has not even been mentioned. Lower the corp. tax rate. Taxes after all are not about rates they're about revenue. Historicly our government has enjoyed much more revenue when the rates were lower. Compasion often blinds us of this fact.

Regarding your compasion for the poor and the common man,... America has the richest poor in the world. While they sit infront of their 2 tvs texting on the touch screen phones they barely notice the cockroaches. When are these poor folks gonna stand up and be acountable for their own lives. Get a shoe and smash that damn cockroach. This is not India JM.

So lets get back on point. Who will employ the workers if the employers are penalized into retreat? What motivation will there be for a small time business person like me to work 60-70 hours a week to keep my people employed. They work 30-40 hours with no risk. Or so they think. But they dont know the business persons battles. As long as they get their paycheck everything must be fine. The fact is they cant understand and it appears niether can you. IT IS IRONIC OR MAY BE IDIOTIC THAT WE LIVE IN THE RICHEST AND MOST ECONOMICALLY SUCCESFULL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD YET MANY OF YOU WISH TO EMULATE OTHER COUNTRIES SYSTEMS THAT DONT PERFORM AS WELL. Sorry for yelling. European countries like France and Germany with their huge unemployment rates and universal health care have had the luxury of enjoying their failing social experiment without having the burden of protecting themselves from agressors. We do that for them at great exspense to the American people. Without the protections of the US military Europe would be very different indeed.

Thanks, I do talk to the Lord every night, I have my own relationship with God, I don't attend church as I have may bad times there, Hyprocrites, reverands who were child molesters made me stop going, I know as long as two people talk about the Lord, he is with me and listening, I will always keep my faith and hope one day to be in heaven with God, thanks for writing to me. I think you are a wonderful person and do a wonderful job by teaching the disable, God Bless and keep you.

Dear Big Kahuna,

You have successfully succumbed to all the lies and exaggerations of the Official GOP Right Wing "Christian" Conservative Extremist Beliefs, especially to the most fundamental, that is that it was "GREED upon which America was grounded and it will be GREED that America will successfully return to it's most powerful International Position again in the world." Screw the financial and charitable help, naive notions of peace, and cultural underestanding!!! Listen to Cheney, Bomb first, WAR, expecially using his company, Halliburton as a second source, and then start asking questions, show them the fist and then fire, and when they're down bleeding all over the ground, then interrogate with those "special" interrogation methods that don't quite cut the Geneva Conventions and you may have stepped across the line into that gray area of "insubordination", which for those without higher friends often gets translated to "treason". But let's not look back, now, we've got to keep up our momentum, and, Hey, you, yes, you, American women, you get back to producing those White American babies who are going to produce the stock of the replacement Arms because the old servicemen are getting on to retirement age, and you just know, now that the Supreme Court has made it a reality of Repeating Republican Administrations after administrations with unlimited funding for their campaigns, they will own the House, the Senate, and the Presidency for the unbridaled future, Thanks, Supreme Court, for modifying our culture from a Democracy into the "theocracy of the Gipper", the same Supreme Court who also ensured for us the 8 Divine years we had with W. Bush, turn black into red, and pushing us into war in the Middle East, hiring his buddy's, Cheney's, company Halliburton, to make millions upon billions to fight the war for us, no conflict of interest there, of course not, not of the Divine One. And of all Parties, including the Independents, only those, These Republicans are granted knowledge of the Divine One, Omnicient of all things profitable and greedy, including offshore banking for the felonly of tax evasion, the very Divine One who leadeth the Rich and Wealthy to excessive income tax protection by the leadership of the Prophet "the Gipper" with his Great Tax Reductions for the Holy Rich and Wealthy, that they might propogate and mitigate the looming increase in the % of our American population of minorities with a competitive and increase population of the only GOOD RACE, THE WHITE RACE, the work of the Evil One, that to protect it's population, Arizona had to establish a Gestapo to identify all Jew, oops, I didn't mean that, I, we were talking about Mexicans, here, who may have entered the country illegally, so to effect that, all citizens and visitors of Arizona must carry their birth certificates to prove to the Republican members of the "Birther" conspiracists these folk, yes, they indeed were born right here in the great U.S. of A. AND CAN YOU BLAME THEM, WHY JUST LOOK AT OUR OWN COLORED PRESIDENT, JUST PRACTICALLY GIVING AWAY HEALTH CARE SO THAT ALL THESE MINORITIY PEOPLE WILL HAVE IT AND LIVE TO RETIREMENT AGE, how stupid is that? What would you expect from some negra' president? And them there Dem-o-crats talk about us gun-totin' pro-lifers killin' them a-bortion docters, whell, what they'd think we were gonna du, we gave 'em a choice to agree with us, and the good fur nuthin' Dem-o-crats wouldn lisn, so, a mans gutta du what a mans gutta do...and if those damn reel 'state peepul didn bring them niggas out heya to buy homes, we wouldn hav to set them crosses on fiya on thaya fron yarrrds justa let them know they aren wanted heya, dam reel 'state peepul.

So, again, I say, what the Supreme Court did and will continue to, turn our American Constitution of, for, and by ALL the WHITE people, to a Theocracy of Greed, The First Ten Amendments for increasing your Bottom Line Profit, and the New Prostestant Ten Commandments to increasing Personal Wealth without Regard for your Neighbor or Community, Numer One, shield your vulnerability to taxes by hiding your monies in offshore banks where they will withold your identity and your financial history there won't be profiled for a felony of tax evasion. All this, and more, will be available to you, the wealthy, when this new Theocracy of the Prophet "Gipper" gains a foothold and business is more open, a transparency of American governmental GREED on behalf of the wealthy. All the gift to America "gratis" the Supreme Court" bought and paid for by and in full by the Republican Party on the day services were rendered, just like the Dentist =).

And the good news for the Little guys, the Lower Middle Class, the working poor, and the just plain poor: you won't have to think hard about your deci

Thank you so much for all your comments, this makes it better and I hope that God does take away from the republicans and share the wealth as all people should be taken care of, not just the rich, I have lived in poverty all my life and certainly will die in it, what a shame, so many enjoy the rich and so many of us can't even see a doctor, I haven't had a physical in almost 10 years, I am 50 and am afraid that there may be something really wrong but I won't know it until I leave this Earth because I can't afford to find out
