Forum Post: People, Power, Pushback.

People, Power, Pushback. Pushback against those in power, until the system of government and business changes to work for the people/masses, and we take back the power from those who have stolen it. As corporations grow larger, making all of us more dependent on them for all if our daily needs, they are gaining more power through bribing various government agents and politicians, who pass laws that favor those corporations and hurt the common people. At the same time, these government agents are using their positions to acquire more power and wealth, and as the global economy becomes more unstable, the people in power within both the governments and the large corporations, gain more power and wealth, as the people around the world become more dependent on both the government and the corporations. As this global trend continues, there will be sporadic pockets of resistance and push-back. The governments working with and for the corporations will simply pass more laws and oppress the masses even more, and send in the police or troops to squash any organized uprising by the people, and use the media to present their propaganda. They will never stop doing what they do, which is to grab more power and more wealth at the expense of the masses and the environment. The people in power will not fix this problem, and the next group of politicians and corporate CEOs will not fox this problem. The problem is systematic, and will only be solved by changing the system, not the people running the system. There is one major change that can be made to the system of government and the system of business, that would start the long process of shifting the balance of power back to the people/masses. Force the State to control the corporations and leave the people alone. If you create an environment where people can do business without the government regulating it, those free market anarchists will do whatever they want to gain more power and wealth, from abusing the workers, to hiring private police thugs, to damaging the environment. Force Big Government to attack Big Business until they both become small, non envasive, and localized. Simply pass laws that over tax and over regulate any business that starts to expand, If you open up a business in your town, with a moderate workforce of between 5 and 50 people, and your annual income falls below $100,000, you pay between 1 and 5 % income tax, with no other tax or regulatory fees, but if you decide to expand and open another store your taxes would double and you would pay an extra fee for having two stores, and if you would open three stores your taxes would triple, etc. Say goodbye to all corporations, they no longer would be needed. No more selling stock in a company, that would be illegal. If a businessman needed to raise funds to start or maintain his business, he would simply go to a bank for a loan, if the business was shown to be a safe investment, the local bank would loan it money, if not, the business would be allowed to fail. That is true free market capitalism. There would be no more tax breaks and subsidies or group insurance or other discounts for large corporations and the corporations would no longer exist so they would not bribe politicians as that would be illegal for any politician to recieve any money at all to run public office. The goal is to change the system by downsizing both governments and businesses through simple easy to understand laws and regulations, and not to allow a few rich powerful men to make or change laws. Pushback, powerback, people, that's who we are.
